ACCEPTANCE OF REQUESTS FOR RECONVENING
A "Request for Reconvening" was received by the Board of Equalization for the 2006 season. It was
submitted on the basis that the taxpayer has met the specific requirement outlined in WAC 458-14-127
RECONVENED BOARDS-AUTHORITY (I)(c) which states that Boards of Equalization may reconvene
on their own authority to hear requests or appeals concerning the current assessment year when the request
or appeal is filed with the Board by April 30 of the tax year immediately following the Board's regularly
convened session and when a bona fide purchaser or contract buyer of record has acquired an interest in
real property subsequent to the first day of July and on or before December 31 ofthe assessment year and
the sale price was less than ninety percent of the assessed value. The Clerk of the Board confirmed with
the Assessor's office that the appellant has met this requirement.
Vice-Chairman Broders moved to reconvene the 2006 Board of Equalization for the following taxpayer
appeal that was timely filed:

PN: 701253010
Prior to the hearing being held, the appellant and the Assessor's office reached an agreement on a lower
true and fair market value for the parcel under appeal. An "Assessment Roll Corrections" form was
completed for the parcel and the appellant signed the form, as did the Assessor's representative.
As required by the Washington State Department of Revenue, the Board of Equalization must issue an
order for all appeals for which the Board has reconvened, regardless of any "Assessment Roll Corrections"
agreed to by appellants and the Assessor. Therefore, the Board stipulated to the agreed upon values and
issued the following determination order for the appeal.
Vice-Chairman Broders moved to stipulate to the value agreed upon by the petitioner and Assessor as
shown on the Assessment Roll Correction form, thereby overruling the Assessor's determination of value
and reducing it from $51,000 (land only) to $40,000. Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried
by a unanimous vote.
BOARD OF EQUALIZAnON 2006 SEASON CLOSURE
With no further business before the Board of Equalization for the 2006 season Vice-Chairman Broders
moved to adjourn the meeting Sine Die. Member DeLeo seconded the motion which carried by a
unanimous vote.
