The county commissioners received a written request from the City of Conrad for the abatement of the 2011 taxes on the building next to city hall at 411-1/2 S. Main Street.
The city has negotiated the purchase of the property with the intent to remodel it and expand city hall.
The seller of the property will pay the delinquent taxes through 2010 with 2011 being the city’s responsibility.
Mary Ann Ries, county attorney, has advised the commissioners to deny the request and Commissioner Sandy Broesder moved on that. Commissioner Joe Christiaens gave a seconded to the motion and Broesder called for discussion.
On hand for the meeting was Agnes Fowler, City Finance Officer. She noted that the bulk of the taxes levied are for the benefit of the city and the landfill district.
The city is asking the county to abate the county’s portion of the tax. Broesder commented that maybe the county could gift the city with the amount of county taxes. Commissioner Cynthia Johnson suggested the county could loan man-power to the city for inside demolition of the property.

There is murder afoot at Norley Hall. The directors and cast of the Pondera Players are hard at work rehearsing for their upcoming production The Butler Did It by Walter and Peter Marks.
This comedy/thriller is a smart and diabolically clever thriller that mingles laughter and chills as it skillfully unwinds its twisted tale of murder and mayhem in the glittering world of the theatre.
Director Wayne Reynolds states, “It will be an evening full of fun and laughter. We are looking forward to sharing with the community all the laughter we have been having during rehearsals.”
