Unequal Hydrant Taxation Scrutiny By City Board
Damon argued that a home lacking services faced unequal assessment versus city properties that receive hydrant coverage. The board considered counting the service gap in taxation, while Mayor Earl Cherry warned extending coverage would cost the city 4800 per mile annually plus 100 per hydrant installed. A process change was tried as appellants recited an oath aloud during appeals, but objections on fairness and rising assessments, including an example from 1989, were raised by residents.
