Item/Subject: Abating Real Estate Taxes Assessed Against Property
Located at 194 Broad Street, Acct. No. RE 77588
Responsible Department: Legal
In March, 1991, pursuant to the City's Waterfront Redevelop-
ment Plan and Council Resolves 91-52 and 91-114, the City of Bangor
acquired a 21,000 square foot lot owned by Maine Central Railroad
Company, for use as a City waterfront park. The land concerned i
located on either side of Maine Central's track, and is bounded by
the Renduakeag Stream, the Penobscot River, Front Street, and Broad
Street. See attached sketch. Although acquired by the City for
municipal use, this property remained on the City's tax rolls for
FY 1992, 1993 and 1994. Taxes for those years were assessed to and
Paid by Maine Central Railroad Company. See attached account
printout. Recently, this error was noted by the City Assessor's
office, which has abated the current year (PY 1994) assessment of
this property. Under 36 MRSA S841(1), Council action is required
to abate taxes assessed (and paid) for PY 1992 and FY 1993. The
attached Order would abate the taxes concerned. A refund would be
issued with interest, pursuant to 36 MESA S 508-A.
