CITY OF PALM BEACH GARDENS
August 3, 1970
The Equalization Board Meeting of the City of Palm Beach Gardens was
called to order by Mayor Blanck at 8:15 P.M.
ROLL CALL Roll was called by the City Clerk and present were: Councilman Prentiss,
Councilman Wiley, Councilman James and Mayor Blanck. Atty Brant and
City Manager, Robert Carlson attended. Vice Mayor, DeLonga was absent
due to being on vacation.
HEARINGS: Discussion was held on the following properties:
1. Plat 6- -Block 76 -Lot 16-- Harold I. & Frances Mendenhall.
Hunnicutt & Associates recommended a 5% adjustment to be in line with
other similar properties. Councilman Wiley moved to accept the
recommendations of Hunnicutt & Associates. Motion died for lack of a
second. The Equalization Board did not feel an adjustment was in accord
with other 1970 assessments throughout the City; therefor no change was
recommended by the Board and valuation will be as set.
2. Camberwell Apartments on PGA Boulevard.
Hunnicutt and Associates recommended a $900.00 deduction on each of
the 20 apartments to bring them in line with each other as to the square
footage. Council discussed the recommendation and felt there was not
enough basis for a $900 deduction. Councilman Prentiss moved to table
for further evaluation but motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Carlson
stated to the Council that as a usual thing most Boards do accept the
recommendations of the experts in equalization of taxes and Hunnicutt and
Associates had been retained at a fee by the City for the purpose as
consultants and experts in taxation and appraisals. Councilman Wiley
moved that a reduction of $750.00 be authorized as the apartments were
built on an equal square footage basis and an appraisal be set at $30,500
for each apartment. Mayor Blanck relinquished the gavel and seconded
