<br />City of ConteIville <br />City Council Meeting <br />AprilS, 2009 <br /> <br />Mr. Comstock stated that his property value is $304,000 for this year. However, it was <br /> <br />appraised by a private appraiser at $280,000, based on five comparable properties. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard Vickers replied that the $280,000 appraisal may have been <br />based on forced sales or foreclosures, which are not the comparables that can be used. <br /> <br />Councilmember Lee stated that his house also appraised at $40,000 less than his tax value. <br /> <br />Councilmember Fehrenbacher stated that homeowners have to look at the whole picture. <br />He knows it does not seem fair, but the City is limited as to what it can do. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra requested a copy of Mr. Comstock's documents so they can be reviewed by <br />the City Council. <br /> <br />Eric Marshall. 7216 LaValle Drive <br /> <br />Mr. Marshall stated that he, also, did not agree with his tax value. However, after he <br />discussed it with Mr. Toltzman, he felt the issue was resolved. <br /> <br />Mr. Toltzman stated that the next step in the process is to look again at the properties <br />discussed and then report back to the Board. He added that the appraisals are done the <br />same way Statewide. He stated that we are II/, to 2 years behind and, along with the <br />market value, the fair share is served. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated that even if the property valuation goes down, that would not mean the <br />property taxes would decrease. She stated that there are other things that have to be <br />considered besides the property value. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra stated that they would recess the public hearing and reconvene for final <br />approval on April 22, 2009, at 6:30 p.m., after Mr. Toltzman reevaluated the properties. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Lee. seconded bv Council Member Paar. to recess the <br />Public Hearinl! at 7:15 n.m. and reconvene on Anril 22. at 6:30 n.m.
