Alert #18: Next State Board of Equalization Hearings on May 30th

Dear Property Owners,

Our next hearing before the Nevada State Board of Equalization will be on 
Friday, May 30th.  Our attorney, Norman Azevedo has been given 3 hours to 
present our case.  Prior to the 3 hour presentation, Norm will first 
present four motions to the Board:

1) Allow new evidence to be introduced since the County Board of 
Equalization Hearings.
2) Be permitted to subpoena the Washoe County Assessors for deposition in 
which to gather additional evidence for our cases.
3) Allow additional property owners to be heard who did not file an appeal 
with the Washoe County Board of Equalization by January 15th, but did file 
an appeal with State Board of Equalization by March 10th.
4) To reject the Washoe County Assessor's appeal to deny the 10% lake front 
reduction.

Following is the tentative schedule for the May 30th hearings:
8:30 AM Norman Azevedo to present the four above motions and the Board to 
rule on those motions.
11:00 AM        Norman Azevedo to present our tax valuation inequities
12:30 PM        One half hour lunch break
1:00 PM Norman Azevedo to continue his presentation
2:30 PM Washoe County to present their opposing arguments
4:00 PM Board to discuss both sides and then make a determination on what 
to do next
5:00 PM Adjourn

This will be a very important hearing where the Board's decisions regarding 
Norm's motions plus his presentation will have a significant impact on our 
challenges to the assessment practices by the Washoe County Assessors 
Office.In order to make a strong statement to the State Board of 
Equalization, we need a LARGE turn out of Incline Village & Crystal Bay 
property owners.  Additionally we need to underscore the concern and anger 
over the outrageous 31% increase in our total assessed property values.

Mark May 30th on your calendar and plan on attending the next State Board 
of Equalization Hearings. We will issue another Alert on Tuesday, May 27th, 
which will include the time, place, and the final agenda.
