LEGISLATIVE HEARING DISCUSSION ITEM

Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for property at 1540

RLH TA 24-21

MINNEHAHA AVENUE EAST. (File No. VB2402, Assessment No. 248801)

Assessment approved and made payable over 5 years.

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: Before you is an appeal of a tax

assessment for a vacant building fee. My recommendation last week is the same as

today, to approve it and make it payable over 5 years.

Councilmember Johnson: One of my biggest concerns was that the assessment

would be passed on to the next property owner. We have since addressed that and

so I will move approval of Moermond's recommendation.

Adopted

7 - Councilmember Noecker, Councilmember Jalali, Councilmember Yang,

Councilmember Kim, Councilmember Bowie, Councilmember Jost and

Councilmember Johnson

Yea:

Nay:

Appeal of Tou Yia Vang to a Vacant Building Registration Requirement at

2164 BUSH AVENUE .

RLH VBR 24-4

Appeal denied.

Also in attendance: Tou Yia Vang, appellant

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This is an appeal of a Vacant Building

Registration (VBR). The building had a fire back on March 29, 2023. Legislative Code

states that if a VBR form is filled out, a 90-day waiver is automatically granted. This is

a bit of a confusing situation because the Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI)

acted outside of the Legislative Code and granted two additional 90-day waivers for a

total of 9 months of waivers. What's before you is an appeal of the VBR fee for year

two. The owner indicated he is confused and not sure why there is a fee. There are

no notes in the system indicating a request for the waiver or why the waiver was

granted. I understand that confusion. What I have though is a VBR fee that is being

billed (not assessed) for the forthcoming year. The questions before Council is

whether to deny the appeal and send the bill, or to grant an additional waiver and

delay the bill. My recommendation is to deny the appeal and not grant a 4th waiver.

My recommendation is also to provide grace in the assessment process for the bill, to

allow payments to be made over time if that assessment is appealed or allow

prorating the assessment. When I talked to the owner, he thought he would be done

quickly. Unfortunately, all building permits are still open. Rough-in inspection were

conducted in late 2023 but I found no inspections in 2024. There is still a bit of work

to be done, but consideration can be made at a future point.

Councilmember Jalali: I am supportive of that.

Councilmember Bowie: Could you clarify how many waivers there were?

Moermond: Three. The first was because Legislative Code provides for one after a

fire. DSI then subsequently granted two more, each for 90 days. I believe that a

fourth waiver would be excessive, and other tools are more appropriate at this point.

Councilmember Johnson: Thank you for the clarification. Is it custom then to only

issue one 90-day waiver and not three?

Moermond: Correct.

Johnson: If we deny the appeal and the work is done quickly, once this is assessed,

we could have a conversation about how to address that at a later date?

Moermond: It has been the Council's consistent practice to try to consider the work

being done in a shorter length of time by prorating the assessment or allowing

payments to be made over time, to make it more accessible.

Tou Yia Vang: I am the property owner. After the fire, I had contractors out in June to

rebuild the house. As of today, it is 90% completed and move-in day for a new tenant

is April 1. My house is almost done, so I don't know why it needs to register as a

vacant building.

Johnson: I just want to make sure you understand the outcome if we approve the

staff recommendation. Are you sure that you will have this taken care of by April 28,

2024?

Vang: April 1 is move-in day. The house will be done.

Johnson: Do you understand the process for permits and inspections that need to be

done before then, and what is needed from you to have that April 1 move-in date?

Vang: Yes.

Johnson: Do you have a plan for doing that?

Vang: Yes.

Johnson: There were 270 days of waivers, and had it been done in that time, we

would not be having this conversation. We're here because it hasn't been done, and

even with the updated timeline it would not be completed if we extended another

waiver. It sounds like Moermond is saying that if you can complete work before April

1, you can come back to appeal the assessment for this fee and have a conversation

about the amount then. Does that make sense?

Vang: Yes.

Johnson: My recommendation then is to not grant another waiver and to move

forward with this fee and then have us stay in conversation as work on the house

continues and the fee gets sent to assessment. I want you to be done by then, so we

can revisit this sooner. Does that make sense?

Vang: Yes.

Johnson: Moermond, do you have anything to add or clarify?

Moermond: There's a good summary happening here. I'm happy to have a

conversation with the appellant in the hallway after this public hearing, to offer

clarification.

Johnson: I see an opportunity to still progress on what's needed from you, Vang. I

also see a need for follow-up conversations if you can maintain that April 1 timeline. I

can't provide legal advice, but I encourage you to have that conversation with

Moermond after this.

Johnson moved to close the public hearing. Approved 7-0.

Johnson: I move approval of Moermond's recommendation.
