NEW PORT RICHEY To help clean up the citys image, City Council members put some finishing touches on higher maintenance standards for homes.

A work session produced suggestions for tweaking the proposed ordinance. The concept could come back soon for public hearings before the council takes a final vote.

Councilwoman Judy DeBella Thomas wanted a lower threshold before the city steps in to cut tall yard grass. The proposal once specified grass a foot tall before the city took action. Thomas and others thought that was too high. They want the standard to be grass six inches tall.

City Manager Debbie Manns outlined the changes in a recent memo to council. Additional regulations are needed which will advance a higher property maintenance standard, she wrote.

The city ordinance is modeled after the 2012 International Code Councils International Property Maintenance Code, Manns noted.

Maintenance amendments could require residential owners and occupants to maintain structures in a clean and sanitary condition, including shared or public areas.

Vacant structures and vacant land will be required to be maintained in a clean, safe, secure and sanitary condition and not cause a blighting problem or adversely affect public health, Manns explained.

The proposal specifies that plumbing fixtures and drinking water and wastewater pipes must be in working order.

All mechanical appliances, cooking, heating and cooling equipment will be required to be properly installed and maintained and be capable of performing the intended function, Manns added.

A three-month limit would apply to tarps as temporary patches on leaking roofs.

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) The heating and cooling system is up and running at Guntersville Middle School.

School board officials say crews worked through Thanksgiving break to repair the system.

This week, it is fully functioning.

Weve repaired the system with a concrete pit and we hope that will be much more substantial than what we had before and will have few problems in the future, Principal Jeff Jones says.

Construction on the system was a scene that had been constant throughout the last few weeks.

School board officials say the system has not been fully operational in that time, and the repair process took longer than expected.

The system is not very old. The pit they had put in originally just did not hold up as it perhaps should have, Jones says.

Jones says they dont anticipate any more issues with the heating and cooling system.

School officials say when the unusually cold weather hit the Valley several weeks ago, they put space heaters in the classrooms. They say moving the students was not possible, and they did not want to take them away from class for that duration of time.

You may have read that we are in for a tough tax season what with delays because of Congress not getting around to the extenders and IRS budget cuts. Well. Thats not all. Tangible property is of course stuff like automobiles and computers and buildings all sorts of stuff.

Outside of fairly specialized areas like equipment leasing , the biggest impact of the regulations is in the area of buildings both for landlords and tenants who have made improvements. There are some businesses that dont involve being either a landlord or a tenant in a building but not a very high percentage. Buildings are what may be yielding the refunds of biblical proportions that I discussed with Michael Greenwald of Friedman LLP. Friedman LLP is located at 1700 Broadway in Manhattan surrounded by some of the big buildings that may be yielding big refunds thanks to the new regulations. But what about the hellish part, you may ask?

Remember The AT&T Breakup?

In 1984 the Bell System, which was something of a monopoly of telephone service was broken up by a divestiture of AT&T. When a company divests it distributes stock in companies that it owns. It can be a tax-free transaction which requires disclosure by shareholders and an allocation of basis among the various assets. Well, everybody owned stock in AT&T and typically they had acquired it over a period of years. So just about everybody had a complicated return that year. The phase-in of the passive activity loss rules after the Tax Reform Act of 1986 was a similar horror show. These regulations promise a similar flurry.

Have you ever heard of Form 3115? Go ahead and take a look at the eight page form, thats why I gave you a link. Now take a look at the twenty pages of instructions. Scroll to the very end where there is an estimate of the burden that the form puts on the taxpayers as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act.

Check out what Christian Wood wrote in the Journal of Accountancy.

With the new regulations effective for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2014, For example, taxpayers will need to file a Form 3115 to adopt the materials-and-supplies provision or file an election statement to use the de minimis rules. Failure to include the Form 3115 or election statement may indicate either an unauthorized accounting method change (one that did not obtain the IRSs required consent) or the taxpayers noncompliance with the final regulations.

Now I have read the repair regulations a few times without that dawning on me. That JOA article was back in February, but I have peculiar reading habits for a tax practitioner. I try to look at all the original source material to find interesting stories for my blog, so I got my wake-up call about just about everybody who is not a pure W-2 working stiff having to file Form 3115 at the Wolter Kluwer User Conference in Orlando.

The instructor indicated that if we did not join in with other practitioners in launching a tsunami of accounting method change forms on the IRS, dire consequences awaited us and out clients. Now any conference that includes a trip to Universal Studios for two haunted house experience one based on aliens and the other based on the movie Dracula and an inspirational speech by someone from a reality TV show

deserves a bit of skepticism.

Repair Regs - A Hellish Tax Season And Refunds Of Biblical Magnitude

CHANNAHON Channahon village trustees are looking into setting up a program that would offer low-interest loans to local businesses that want to make improvements in their facilities.

Qualifying projects could include faade improvements, new awnings, signage, architectural details such as cornices, new doors and windows, rooftop mechanical screening, and repair or replacement of building systems such as heating, cooling and electrical.

The village made its first foray into lending to businesses when it loaned $36,447 to Lone Star Restaurant last month in a five-year, 1.8 percent interest agreement. Lone Star owners plan to make a major changeover from its current sewage septic system to the village sewer.

Trustees agreed establishing a formal program for other businesses that might be interested in bettering the appearances or function of their buildings would be good for business and good for Channahon. Village Administrator Thomas Durkin presented a first draft of the new Business Improvement Program to trustees Monday at the village board meeting.

Maximum loan amounts, interest and other parameters were not spelled out in the draft, but Durkin said one possibility is for the loans to provide up to 50 percent of the costs of qualifying projects. The dollars available could be set in each years budget when funds are available and would be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Applicants would have to demonstrate a need for participation in the program and provide at least two detailed quotes from bonded contractors licensed in Channahon.

The funds may not be available every year, or they may be reduced on occasion, Durkin said.

Durkin added that, besides Lone Star, no businesses have approached him yet requesting low-interest loans for improvements.

It also was announced Monday the Channahon Tree Lighting Event will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday in conjunction with Three Rivers Public Library. This free event will be held at the Channahon Village Hall, 24555 S. Navajo Dr., and will include a visit and pictures with Santa Claus, horse-drawn wagon rides, music from the Channahon Junior High School band and cookies and hot chocolate.

A portion of Navajo Drive will be closed for the event. Those attending may park at the village hall parking lot or at Saint Ann Catholic Church.
