wark accident and had to have some toes removed and questioned why his vehicle had been
removed from his property.
Ms. Moermond stated that she was not able to heaz the appeal on the vehicle as matter as that
matter was not before her for hearing for this date. She recommended laying this matter over to
April 10 for a report from the inspector as well as to view the video tape of the cleanup that had
been done.

Mr. Brown stated that he was not disputing the assessment. He had talked to his brother-in-law
after the hearing as he had paid him to keep his property clean and take out the gazbage while he
was in the hospital recovering from surgery. His fiance was incapable of taldng out the garbage
as she had suffered a stroke and was unable to do any heavy lifting. His brother-in-law admitted
that he had not taken out the trash to be picked up by the hauling service because of the snow
that had piled up. His brother-in-law did return some of his money for not completing the work
as promised.
Ms. Moermond recommended approving the assessment and spreading the payments over five
(5) years. She also suggested Mr. Brown contact Real Estate to see if he would qualify for a tax
deferment due to his disability.
