[sudo-discuss] Re: [omni-consensus] Omni taxes payment plan immediately (fwd)

Hi Sudoroom, as sudoroom delegate i have to represent sudoroom on this important issue. Also I think it's pretty obvious what needs to be done. Sudoroom is still behind on rent with Omni Commons and we need increased monthly donations to get on track! Ask each other and yourselves to check on your monthly donations through https://sudoroom.org/humans or make donations at https://sudoroom.org/donate -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 18 May 2023 19:02:36 -0700 (PDT) From: Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> To: omni finance list <finance(a)lists.omnicommons.org>rg>, "consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org" <consensus(a)lists.omnicommons.org> Subject: Re: [omni-consensus] Omni taxes payment plan immediately I have not heard back from anyone but Sarah on this issue and it's extremely pressing and important. To reiterate, we have to start a payment plan on our $300,000 delinquent property taxes or the county can auction off our building. We are in the process of getting an exemption for much of that money but until it goes through, we have to pay it. If the exemption goes through we will get a refund in case we overpaid, but most likely we will still owe the amount we are about to pay. We have to pay $60,000 by the end of MAY (less than 2 weeks) or else we have to pay $60,000 in JUNE plus an additional $2700 in interest. This is not a hard choice. We will discuss this at tonights delegates meeting. The form (attached) just needs my signature and of course a check for $60,398.63 (20% + $75 application fee) People are going to say "we don't have the money" because some of our money is "earmarked" for certain things, or hasn't been paid yet by collectives that are behind on rent (primarily because nobody has been reminding them) but WE DO HAVE THE MONEY and it's pretty silly to lose the building over "earmarked" funds. -jake ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 17 May 2023 12:13:15 -0700 From: Christina Oatfield <christinaoatfield(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: Omni taxes payment plan immediately Hi Jake, I've filled out the attached form here. If you have easy access to a printer you can print it, sign, date, and add your phone #, and mail it with a check to the address on the form. CHECK AMOUNT: $60,398.63 (that's the 20% installment plus $75 application fee). If you prefer, I can mail this to Omni or your home or wherever (just let me know a good mailing address) and include a priority mail envelope to the tax collector's office plus an envelope for them to mail us the receipt. I can set it up to track with its arrival at the tax collector's office via my USPS account so you will just need to sign, add the check, seal the envelope and drop it in the mail. You can also take it in person to the tax collector in Alameda if you are nervous about mailing a large check. Just let me know how you'd like to proceed. -- Christina Oatfield Attorney & Advocate On Tue, May 16, 2023 at 5:46 PM Jake <jake(a)spaz.org> wrote:
