Ms. Besaw explained that the personal property tax was not built into the |
|
new taxable value estimate. Ms. Morita clarified that personal property |
|
tax was taken out. Ms. Besaw said that they did not include it in the |
|
estimate to be more conservative. Mr. Wackerman stated that the Plan |
|
would capture personal property taxes, but that capture was not illustrated |
|
in the payback period. Ms. Morita confirmed that they would be |
|
reimbursed on that capture. Ms Morita asked if the intent was that the |
|
tenants would pay the tax, and then that money would go back to the |
|
applicant from the capture. Ms. Besaw agreed. Ms. Morita asked how |
|
much the estimate was for personal property. Ms. Besaw said that they |
|
did not have an estimate at this point, because the tenants had not been |
|
completely verified, and they did not want to guess on the numbers. Ms. |
|
Morita asked if personal property was in the estimates. Ms. Besaw |
|
responded that they did not have personal property in the new taxable |
|
value estimate. It would be captured, but it was not in the estimate. Ms. |
|
Morita asked if the estimate was in the subject Plan or in something else. |
|
Ms. Besaw stated that it was on the tax increment financing table for the |
|
taxable value following redevelopment ($4 million). Ms. Morita stated |
|
that it looked to her as if they were anticipating that the property would be |
|
worth about $10 million, including personal property. Ms. Besaw agreed |
|
that was what they had estimated, based on the investment created on the |
|
property. She added that they could work with the Assessor if the number |
|
appeared too high. The taxable value of the property would be $4 million; |
|
the real value would be approximately $8 million following |
|
redevelopment, without personal property tax. If they added personal |
|
property, it would be $10 million. Ms. Morita questioned adding the |
|
$1,013,620.00, which was the current taxable value and $4 million in |
|
value. Ms. Besaw said that the difference was $2,986,380.00, and that |
|
would be the addition, which did not include personal property. Ms. |
|
Morita asked how much they paid for the property. Mr. Markus said that |
|
they paid $2.7 million for the dealership and $1.350 million for the gas |
