[Vision2020] Update on Property Tax Appeals

[DonaldH675 at aol.com]

Visionaries:

The Idaho State Board of Tax Appeals has notified Saundra Lund and me that 
our appeal of the BOE's decision to continue to allow property tax exemption of 
the parcel of New St. Andrews containing the Bookstore will be heard November 
4, at 1:45 pm at the Best Western in Moscow.  The IBTA acting on advice from 
County Officials moved from the traditional venue, i.e. the Commissioners 
Hearing Room at the Courthouse, to the Best Western because of the large attendance 
during the July hearings.  

Saundra and I anticipate that we will be granted intervener status in the 
appeals made by Christ Church counsel, Greg Dickison.  Mr. Dickison, is appealing 
the revocation of property tax exemption from Anselm House (the building 
owned by the church and used in a variety 
of ways) and the parcel of New St. Andrews containing the Zume Bakery.  
Intervener status  allows us to bring our own documentation and testimony into the 
public record.

We look forward to testifying and encourage those of you who are able to 
attend the hearing to come.  (I think the hearings for the properties being 
appealed by Mr. Dickison on behalf of Christ Church are to be held the morning of 
the 4th.  I will alert 2020 readers when I have seen a copy of the official 
schedule.  Some of us will be making a day of it and we anticipate a happy ending.

Best,
Rose Huskey
