SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 1.63 OCTOBER 8, 1991, LETTER FROM CHARLES PIERCE,
PROPERTY TAX ASSISTANCE CO., INC. REQUESTING A REFUND OF TAXES
PAID IN 1987, 1988, 1989, AND 1990.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Deny claim for refund.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: An audit of GBP Industries, Inc. was
completed on August 2, 1990. Shortly thereafter Mark Pascale, Regional Manager
of Property Tax Assistance Co. , Inc. ; Douglas Young, Regional Manager GBP
Industries; Leslie Brunelle, Plant Controller along with representatives of the
Assessor's Office reviewed the findings of the audit. The audit covered four
assessment years (1986-87 through 1989-90). As a result of the audit, a double
assessment was discovered as to some property reported by the company which had
been assessed to the real property owner. A credit was given in the audit for that
double assessment for each of the four years. In addition, a reduction of over
$3,000,000 in 1988-89 and a reduction of over $7,000,000 was granted which
accounted for obsolescence of printing press equipment. The representatives from
Property Tax Assistance Co. , Inc. as well as the Company representatives agreed
to the results of the audit.
SUMMARY: A double assessment was discovered by the Assessor and
corrected in 1990 for the previous four years. Subsequent assessments in 1990 and
1991 have been given credit for the items assessed to the real property.
