The amount of taxes billed was $12,340.25. The corrected tax amount should have been $6161.08. Capitol Scale plans to pay the second half of the taxes by the July 31 due date. The City would then refund $6179.17; the difference of what was billed, and the actual amount of tax due. When taxes are collected on an incorrectly assessed property, the taxpayer is due to receive those funds incorrectly charged. Because the City issues property tax bills, we are responsible for refunding the taxpayer for the entire amount, even though the money collected has already been distributed to the other taxing jurisdictions. In turn, the City will file a request with the Department of Revenue to receive repayment for the proportional amount of incorrectly collected funds. The Department of Revenue will then notify each taxing jurisdiction of the amounts to pay back to the City of Columbus. LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED: letter from Associated Appraisal Consultants ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Approved the refund in the amount of $6179.17 to Capitol Scale Properties LLC. May 3, 2021 Pat Goebel City of Columbus 105 N. Dickason Columbus, WI 53925 Dear Pat, The assessor has found an error in the 2020 assessment and tax bill for a real estate parcel in the City of Columbus. After the tax bill was issued, it was brought to the Assessors attention that a location land adjustment had been removed during 2020 market update and not placed back on the property. The parcel is as follows: 2020 Actual Assessment 2020 Corrected Assessment 11211 1087.02 $545,800 $272,500 The actual amount of taxes billed was $12,340.25, including stormwater management fees. The corrected tax amount is $6,161.08 including those fees. Therefore, the total overage in taxes billed equals $6,179.17. This assessment error qualifies as a “palpable error” under Wisconsin Statutes 74.33 and is therefore subject to refunded or rescinded taxes. Since the tax bill has been paid, I would recommend the City to Refund the overage on the tax bill for 2020. The procedure for refunding property tax is described in Wisconsin statutes, chapters 70.43 and 74.41. Essentially, the City must pay the overage to the property owner. Then apply for a chargeback through the Department of Revenue. I apologize for this error and any inconvenience it may cause for you or the City. I offer my assistance in any way necessary to move forward with this matter. Please contact me at 920-749-1995 ext. 8813 with any questions you may have. Respectfully, Justin Wiersma Assessor City of Columbus  2021 AGENDA ITEM Committee of the Whole Meeting date: June 8, 2021 Council Meeting date: June 22, 2021 ITEM: Review and approval of the CMAR DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER: The Compliance Maintenance Annual Report for the year 2020, due June 30, 2021, requires review and approval from Columbus City Council.

The current bathrooms are not ADA compliant. The bathrooms are unattractive and do not compliment the historic venue with the recent upgrades to the kitchen area, transit windows and new tables and chairs HLPC donated. At this point, there are unknowns in regards to electrical, plumbing and overall structure of what the bathrooms would look like. Having approval to move forward would allow HLPC to connect with electrical, plumbing and general contractors to get an idea on costs. Enclosed are photos of the existing bathrooms.

The Powers and Duties of the CHLPC detailed in section 114-175 does not clearly assign the CHLPC with the duty of issuing Façade Grants. If council would like to move forward and approve the HLPC Façade Program, the city attorney has suggested that the city council could pass a resolution to delegate authority to the CHLPC to carry out the program as presented in the Façade Program Guidelines. The resolution would delegate authority to the CHLPC to issue grants to private property owners in accordance with the program guidelines. If council would like to move forward with a resolution to delegate the authority to the HLPC, a draft resolution would be ready for the June 22 COW or Council Meeting. John Salzwedel will be in attendance from HLPC to respond to any questions.
