for informal hearing or formal hearing. And he apologized for not being able to be here <br />today due to a doctor’s appointment. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: So essentially it sounds as if Mr. Housel requested some specific information, <br />was not provided that information, and then he went through the appeals process. The <br />information he had requested was provided to the appeals board but not him, right? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: That’s what he indicated to me, and which he said should be reflected in <br />the documents provided to the board. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: What was the result of his appeal? It was denied, right? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: Yes. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Do you know if it’s still ongoing or this is a closed matter? <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: I’m not sure, but I believe there’s a requisite time period for which he <br />needs to appeal to the Tax Appeal Court, and he said he elected not to do that. I don’t <br />know if the time period has run for him to appeal. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Do you guys know the status of his appeal, by any chance? <br /> <br />MR. SITKO: I believe he did appeal. Now he has appealed for two years, I believe, 2010 <br />and 2011, and he did appeal to the Tax Appeal Court for I believe 2010. Whether—I <br />believe his time has passed for appealing for 2011, if he has not appealed yet. <br /> <br />MR. DILL: So he requested calculations, right, basically the calculations that your office <br />based their assessment on? <br /> <br />MR. SITKO: Correct, and he was provided with them. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: Can I ask a question? <br /> <br />MR. DILL: Yes. <br /> <br />MR. BALSIS: He was provided with them at the hearing, or prior to the hearing? <br /> <br />MR. SITKO: It was part of the attachments in my reply. As I mentioned in my letter, his <br />property was valued using the cost methodology, and he was sent the property record <br />card, of which I have a copy here, showing the calculations and showing that he was <br />being assessed based on the cost methodology. No, that is a list of sales that’s provided <br />just before the hearing to the board because they require them. Those were not used to <br />set his valuation. They’re not even comparable sales. They’re just sales in his area. <br /> <br />MS. SCHOEN: Excuse me, Mary, could you let the minutes reflect that Mr. Sitko was <br />responding to Bernard’s holding up of the document submitted with the petition that <br />looks like a card indicating values. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
