SUBJECT: August 12, 1993 letter from A Grupe Co. appealing a non-filing penalty of
$26,207.76
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Refer appellant to the Assessment Appeals Board
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
$26,207.76 non-filing penalty at stake.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Appellant has filed an Application for Reduction in Assessment with the local
Assessment Appeals Board (AAB) . The clerk has assigned number 92-1980 to the
application and has returned a copy of the application to the appellant as the
first official response. The appellant will be formally notified of the
hearing date at least 30 days prior. The hearing date is tentatively set at
October 21, 1993. There is some question as to whether or not the local AAB
has jurisdiction as the appellants base their protest on the premise that they
did not receive the form sent by the State Board of Equalization. The AAB,
however, should answer that question.

Re: Penalty for Non.-Filing
Parcel #1209-800-291-4
Gentlemen:
On December 2, 1992, our office appealed the non-filing penalty of $26,207.76 on the basis
that we never received the form supposedly sent to our offices by the State Board of
Equalization in 1989 and the fact that we had paid a ft►Ily assessed tax bill since 1984.
We have never received an official response to this appeal and have paid one-half of the
penalty. Under the circumstances we believe the amount of this penalty was totally
unjustified. We, therefore, request you waive any further penalty (we have already paid a
$13,000 penalty) and formally respond to our appeal submitted in December.
Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Michael V. Clark, CPM°
