Commissioner Adams was concerned that we have allowed that property to deteriorate to the point that it is worth a negative $6500 by the time we finish. If that piece of property has been assessed at an inflated value, she wondered how many others are out there. She knew it is a buyer beware situation and that it would have to be solved legally, but she felt we have some responsibility to protect our investment and certainly those of the people we allow to invest with us. Attorney Vitunac advised that Mr. Nichols can go back through the Property Appraiser's Office and request a refund on what he feels to be an erroneous appraisal, but that would be at the discretion of either the Property Appraiser or the Tax Collector. Commissioner Macht asked if we have some way to show that taxes have not been paid on a piece of property for several years. Mr. Nichols just wanted the Board to do something so that this would not happen again to others. He pointed out that the law says that all property should be appraised every 3 years. Commissioner Macht emphasized that the only question before the Board today is whether or not to demolish the building on this piece of property, and Chairman Tippin reminded everyone that we need to move along. Mr. Nichols thanked the Board for their patience and urged them to do anything they could on this issue. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized demolition as set out in the above staff recommendation. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 94-10, providing for the demolition of Properties 1, 2 and 4 as unsafe structures and providing for the recovery of costs; and granted 90 days to implement substantial improvements on Property #3, and if not, authorized demolition of Property #3. 51 BOOK 91 `'}BOE 494
