ABATEMENT HEARING
A.
Petition for Abatement or Refund of Taxes - Mitchell J. and Zana L. Crawford
Petition for Abatement or Refund of Taxes for 2019 in the amount of $6,119.40, account number R014530, parcel number 58873520004, the property being owned by Mitchell J Crawford and Zana L Crawford at 11044 US Hwy 84, Pagosa Springs, CO. The property owner requested a review of the classification of the property which had been wholly commercial. Since the petitioners were residing on the property as of Jan 1, 2019, we reviewed all the buildings to determine which were residential and which were commercial. Some of the buildings, including the residence itself, are a mixed use classification. Because the total amount of the Petition exceeds my limit of $2,500, I am before you today to get approval.

Petition for Abatement or Refund of Taxes - Catamount Energy Partners, LLC
Petition for Abatement or Refund of Taxes for 2018, account number P00428 the owner being Catamount Energy Partners, LLC, the property being the Pargin Mountain Gas Collection Pipeline. This hearing is being held because I have denied this Petition and therefore the Petitioner (or their agent) has a right to present their case, if they so choose. The pipeline in question was being valued with a BIA (best information available) value since 2006. Catamount purchased the pipeline in 2016. They did not protest this BIA value in 2017 or 2018. In 2019 when they hired Merit Advisors as their tax agent, evidence was provided that warranted a lower value. Catamount, through their tax agent then submitted the Petition for Abatement or Refund of Taxes for tax year 2018. However, per Colorado Revised Statutes 39-5-116(1) and 39-5-118, "when an owner does not file a personal property declaration schedule with the assessor, the assessor assigns a BIA assessment to the property. A Notice of Valuation is mailed to the owner, and if the BIA value is not protested during the statutory time frame, an abatement petition filed by the owner on the BIA assessment should be denied". Even though the BIA assessment was in place at the time Catamount purchased the pipeline, they could have protested that BIA value in 2017 or 2018. Just as a reminder, Personal Property differs from Real Property in that revaluations take place every year vs. every odd year, so every personal property account gets a Personal Property Declaration Schedule to complete and a Notice of Value every year.

Consideration and Selection of a Courthouse Construction Project Manager
On May 15, 2020, Archuleta County issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Project Management Services for the County's new Courthouse project. Six proposals were received by the June 4th due date, as follows:
NV5
CBRE
Payton Savage
KPMC
SEH
Synergy
The selection committee reviewed all six proposals to determine the two considered most qualified, which were KPMC and Synergy. These two firms were further interviewed on June 10, 2020. Both firms were found qualified, but only one can be engaged. Between the two, Synergy was considered a bit more suitable for the project.
Therefore, the committee recommends that the County Administrator be authorized to negotiate a final scope of work and fee with Synergy, in an amount no higher than $100,000 and execute a contract. The Courts have been asked to comment on the scope of work and provide suggestions, if they have any, concerning how to minimize related costs.
