OPINION
MOORE, Justice.
I. INTRODUCTION
Saunders Properties (SP) appeals the superior court’s ruling that the one-year statute of limitations set out in AS 29.45.500(b) applies to limit the Anchorage Assembly’s authority to refund tax overpayments under AS 29.45.500(c). We conclude that the Assembly has the discretionary authority to award refunds under subsection (c) without any prescribed limitations period. We also hold that such quasi-judicial decisions are not subject to mayoral veto. The Assembly erred, however, in failing to award interest on the taxes refunded.
