<DIV><FONT face=Arial>They may be clear but they are most certainly
incorrect. For example, a property in the CDB valued at one million
dollars generates the same tax revenue as a million dollar property anywhere
else in Moscow. The notion that if a given entity is prevented from
acquiring an high dollar value building in the CBD they will make do with a
tar paper shack somewhere else in Moscow, there by saving the city from losing
tax monies is not sound reasoning. If a group wants a highly visible and
desirable location and is willing to pay for it, the effect on the cities
coffers will be identical irrespective of whether the land is downtown or
elsewhere.</FONT></DIV>

something you will be experiencing anytime soon. I couldn't agree with you any

a</FONT><FONT face=Arial> lecture from you on the topic of "snottiness" is
remarkably similar to being chided on matters of public decorum by Paris Hilton,

<DIV><BR></DIV>Thanks, Bill, for the clarity of your comments. And a
side note to Gary Crabtree:<BR><BR>Trust me on this one. There's no one
on Vision who, in criticizing Christ Church and its relations with the
community, needs you to "slow it way down" so that they can grasp your
arguments. Believe me, your points are not so complex as to require
terrific effort in grasping them, and they're not cogent or correct enough for
any of us to have to work real hard in refuting them. You might find
civil discourse a bit taxing, but I regret that snottiness seems to come so
easily for you. <BR><BR>One thing I've learned in my life is that people
who disagree with me are not automatically stupid, and people who agree with
me are not automatically brilliant. Those who fail to see that, however,
aren't automatically anything, but damned if they don't somehow end up
sounding like the former. <BR><BR>Coincidence? I think
not.<BR><BR>keely<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Christ Church leadership is committed to
buying downtown property for "strategic" (Doug Wilson's word) or "political"
(my word) reasons, not religious ones. The church wants to take over
downtown.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Downtown property (Central Business District)
may be taxed at a common rate with other properties, but each individual
downtown property is more valuable (and thus pays more property tax) than
similar parcels located elsewhere. So, when those downtown parcels are
bought by Christ Church, Moscow takes a big hit in revenue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Diluting the Central Business District with
churches and schools (as is the Christ Church plan) creates a less vibrant
downtown with fewer businesses and many more parking problems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK t, I'll try this one last time and
slow it way down for you. We can't be taking "the next step" when it's
clear that lesson one has not been properly integrated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Property used for church related
activities will be tax exempt whether it's downtown, mid-town, or on
the outskirts of our little burg.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Property in the CBD is not taxed at a
different rate than property anywhere else. The tax loss is the same
whether it's downtown, mid-town, or on the outskirts of our little
burg.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. Property owned by a church that
is NOT used for church related activities IS taxed, just the same as
all other similar properties such as the others that are downtown,
mid-town, or on the outskirts of our little burg. A prime example of
this would be the space occupied by the restaurant in the NSA
building.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. Property owned by church members that is
not used for church related activities is taxed, just the same as all
other similar properties such as the others that are downtown, mid-town,
or on the outskirts of our little burg. Examples of this
would include Bucer's, Hall Closet, and the former Goodwill location.
All owned by local hard working, tax paying, law abiding
citizens.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>5. Having dozens of under utilized buildings
is an expense that no small church can afford. Simply from a maintenance
stand point it would make no sense to have them lay fallow. This
should calm your fears that a local ministry will buy up all of the CBD
and eliminate Moscow's tax base.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for your time, you may now go
back to posting photos of the same signs we all drive past every
day.</FONT></DIV>

Please don't fall back on the property tax issue since we all know that

its members and used for commercial purposes it will be taxed the same

its logical end. CC owns fifty to sixty percent of the CBD. So what?
Please don't fall back on the property tax issue since we all know that
church property, used for church purposes will be tax exempt no matter
where it is, downtown or elsewhere. If it's owned by the church or
its members and used for commercial purposes it will be taxed the same
as any other parcel. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
