5. Request for the Approval of a Settlement Agreement in Regards to Food Lion LLC's
Tax Appeal to the North Carolina Property Tax Commission: Tax Administrator Bill
Doolittle requested approval of a settlement agreement with the Food Lion Company due to a
$94,000 tax discovery. He said acceptance of the $70,000 settlement was recommended because
of the costs to continue the litigation/depositions. Doolittle said the staff made random tax
reviews, but in this particular case, a property owner mentioned improvements not listed by the
company. Mr. Doolittle said that within a ten-year period, the staff probably reviewed the tax
listings for most all businesses in the county.
The settlement agreement is as follows:
This letter will confirm the terms of the settlement reached between Food Lion LLC ("Food Lion")
and iredell County concerning all outstanding tax issues for 1998 through 2006 with Iredeil County,
pursuant to our telephone conversations on September 28, 2006. The settlement is subject to the
approval of the Irndeli County Board of Commissioners. This settlement resolves (1) Food Lion's
appeal from the 1998-2003 business personal property discovery assessment (North Carolina
Property Tax Commission Case No. 04 PTC373), (2) all outstanding real and personal property tax
issues for the 2004-2006 tax years, and (3) the classification of leasehold improvements as real
property for tax years 1998 forward.
