Commissioner Reinke swore in all parties giving testimony. Debra Beem, Keith Carroll,
Appellants and Brad Wills, Assessor and Erin Porter, Chief Deputy Assessor.

Brad Wills, Assessor and Erin Porter, Chief Deputy Assessor reviewed the Homeowner
Exemption Tax Recovery for Debra Beem and the process behind their discovery that the
property was not occupied by Ms. Beem. Brad Wills, Assessor noted that since Ms. Beem did
not live in the home, it did not qualify for a homeowner’s exemption. Idaho statute sets the
recovery process that the Assessor follows for taxes that should have been paid. Mr. Wills noted
that his office did not feel there was any fraud so that penalty was not applied to the recovery.
Mr. Wills noted that he has been friends with Mr. Carroll for many years and felt that it would
be inappropriate to make a recommendation to the Board due to that relationship.

Keith Carroll, Ms. Beem’s husband noted that Ms. Beem’s son moved in to the home after their
marriage. Ms. Beem had medical issues beginning in 2016 and was unaware that there was an
issue with her son living in the home without her. Mr. Carroll stated that because the son lived
in the home and has a disability, they felt that they should still qualify for the exemption.
Commissioner Reinke noted per his understanding the property owner is required to live in the
home to receive the exemption per Idaho statute. In order to receive the homeowner’s
exemption for the son, the property would have to be in his name.

Commissioner Matthews noted that he didn’t believe there was any ill intent and could
understand how the situation happened. Commissioner Hawkins noted that she would be in
favor of waiving the late fees and interest on the recovery.

Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to waive the late fees and interest in the amount of
$5,460.96 for parcel #RPT0832009009AA for 2532 Carriage Way, owned by Debra Beem with
an approved payment plan to be paid in 3 years with no late fees and interest as long as the
property owner makes payments and has the past due taxes paid within 3 years. Commissioner
Hawkins SECONDED. Discussion Commissioner Matthews noted that the Treasurer can work
with Ms. Beem on the payment options. Commissioner Hawkins thanked Ms. Beem and Mr.
Carroll for coming in to work through the issue. Motion Passed Unanimously.

Commissioner Hawkins made a MOTION to leave the Board of Equalization and reconvene as
the Board of County Commissioners.

In the Matter of PARKS AND WATERWAYS
Commissioners considered the Parks and Waterways Board’s recommendation on a request for
use of the Centennial Park boat ramp.

Commissioner Matthews reviewed the history of the recommendation received by the Board and
what brought the Parks and Waterways Board to submit a recommendation letter. Commissioner
Matthews noted that the Parks and Waterways Board is not a decision maker, they just submit a
recommendation.

Kali Sherrill, Parks and Waterways Director, reviewed the letter of recommendation from the
Parks and Waterways Board on a request from Ray and Gary Perron to use the Centennial Park
boat ramp and the information that was presented to the Parks and Waterways Board. Ms. Sherrill
noted that Mr. Perron has requested to present his information to the Parks and Waterway Board.
Commissioner Reinke noted that the letter is just being presented to the Commissioners this
morning. Commissioner Matthews noted that he did not know if the debate on the bonding and
contract was information that the Parks and Waterways Board needed or the additional information
on the bond and contract negotiations. Commissioner Reinke recommended inviting the Parks
and Waterways Board to the discussion with the Perron’s.

Shane Nope, Attorney for the Perron’s spoke and expressed concern that the Parks and Waterways
Board was not given adequate information to make an informed decision and asked the
Commissioners to table the recommendation letter until the presentation is made to that Board.
Commissioner Matthews noted that he felt it may speed the process up if the Parks and Waterways
Board is invited to the Commissioners discussion rather than waiting for that Board to meet.
Commissioner Hawkins noted that the Parks and Waterways Board only considers the use of the
park and not the specific details of that use. Commissioner Reinke stated that the Commissioners
are only considering receiving the letter. Commissioner Matthews noted that the Parks and
Waterways Board is an advisory board and responsible for setting policy, not determining if the
presenter has everything in place for an agreement. Commissioner Matthews stated he would be
in favor of receiving the letter.

Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to acknowledge the Parks and Waterways Board’s
recommendation for the use of the Centennial Park boat ramp. Commissioner Hawkins
SECONDED. Discussion Commissioner Matthews noted that a date would be set for further
discussion with the Perron’s next week. Motion passed unanimously.

Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to leave session as the Board of County
Commissioners and convene as the Board of Equalization. Commissioner Hawkins SECONDED.
Motion passed unanimously.

Commissioner Reinke swore in all parties giving testimony. Mildred Gaitan-Gonzales, Appellant
and Brad Wills, Assessor.

Ms. Gaitan-Gonzales spoke and noted that she has lived in the home in Twin Falls. Ms. Gonzales
purchased the home and then got married. Her husband works in Jerome and they use the address
for her husband’s work. The home has been and continues to be occupied by Ms. Gaitan-Gonzales
and her adult children. Commissioner Hawkins questioned the use of the Jerome address for
mailing. Ms. Gaitan-Gonzales stated that her and her husband go back and forth between the
Jerome address and the Twin Falls address. Brad Wills, Assessor reviewed the history of the
homeowner’s exemption on the Twin Falls property and how the Assessor determined that the
homeowner’s exemption was not warranted. Mr. Wills’ office received information from the son-
in-law that he had been renting the property for 10-years from the appellant. Mr. Wills noted that
the daughter-in-law also confirmed that they had been renting the house from Ms. Gaitan-
Gonzales. Ms. Gaitan-Gonzales stated that she was unaware of the homeowner’s exemption when
she purchased the home in 2014 so she didn’t fill out the form until 2023. Commissioner Reinke
noted that the exemption does not apply to children living in the home. Ms. Gaitan-Gonzales
disputed the definition of occupying. Commissioner Matthews noted that he can understand the
culture that has multiple generations of families living in the same home. Commissioner Reinke
stated that the Board has to follow the law. Mr. Wills reviewed the statute that states that the
property must be owner occupied and the primary dwelling place of the owner. Commissioner
Hawkins stated that based upon that definition and the property owner stating that she stays in
Jerome with her husband the property does not meet the requirement.

Commissioner Matthews made a MOTION to approve the appeal from Ms. Gaitan-Gonzales and
cancel the interest and late charges in the amount of $815.10 associated with the Homeowners Tax
Exemption Recovery for parcel #RPT3851010006AA; deny the appeal of the taxes in the amount
