Motion by Patterson, seconded by Stromer that this is an open public meeting of the Adams County Board of Commissioners. Roll Call,Ayes:Stromer, Larsen, Hogan,Johnson, Reams, Neumann, Patterson Nays: None County Assessor,Jackie Russell, presented the board with a protest form filed by Ryan and Amy Rutt protesting omitted property.Assessor Russell submitted her recommendation and findings: During our reviews of the suburban neighborhood,it was discovered that this building was not on the parcel's inventory.We reached out to the City of Hastings to see if there was a permit pulled for the erection of the structure;according to the Permit technician,there was not. The owner has provided an estimate from Carmichael Construction LLC dated 2017 to furnish materials and equipment for the erection of the steel utility building.In my review of the estimate,there were general conditions stated by Carmichael that were excluded from the cost of the estimate.The fees for the building permit,architect and engineer fees,liability insurance,and builder's risk insurance. Excluded from evidence turned in would be a bill for the water and sewer lines being trenched in or the plumbing being installed.Also,electrical lines being trenched in along with the installation of electrical outlets and lighting for a facility of that size. There is no mention of the cost to install the mezzanine,or the finished living quarters in the mezzanine or main floor of a total of 1856 square feet. i have no bill provided for the grading and preparation of the site for the building. He is only showing us what the cost of the frame and the concrete was back In 2017.The comparable buildings he has provided do not have the same components being valued.On both of the comparables, the only thing assessed is the doors. The evidence that is provided is not sufficient to prove our value is not correct.Cost does not equate to value,Just because he is showing an estimate for a building does not equate to value.With the additional finishes and components that were found on the walkthrough a change in value is not recommended.
