like to present an appeal.
Mr. Register stated Mr. Robert Brodie had contacted the Tax
Department about the valuation of his property; however, he did not
want to have a conference call to discuss the matter with the
appraisal staff, nor would he allow the appraisal staff to conduct
an evaluation on his property. If Mr. Brodie does not file an
appeal by 5: 00 p.m. today, the Tax Office will not have any
authority to change the value on his appraisal. Mr. Register
instructed Mr. Brodie to report to Mr. Jim Bethune, Tax Appraisal
Supervisor, if he wanted an appeal.
Mr. Robert Brodie I I I, 1705 Pope Court, came forward and
stated he had tried for over a month to understand the basis for
his appraisal. He reported a woman, who purported to be an
appraiser, was found traipsing on his property; he told her she was
trespassing and told her to leave. He stated he had not received
the answers he needed to determine if he needed to make a formal
appeal.
Chairman Greer reiterated to Mr. Brodie to file his appeal
with the Tax Administrator by 5:00 p.m., if he would like to
dispute the value. The Board of Equalization and Review will not
be able to hear his appeal unless he files by the deadline.
Commissioner Barone suggested to Mr. Brodie that he may want to
file an appeal just in case it is necessary.
Mr. Register informed the Board that there are several real
estate appeals which will require the Board to meet for three to
four hours. At the last moment, several tax representatives filed
appeals; however, it may be that Mr. Bethune will be able to
present their findings and make recommendations to the Board.
Motion: After further discussion, commissioner Barone MOVED,
SECONDED by Vice-Chairman Mathews, to re-elect Chairman Robert G.
Greer to serve as Chairman of the 1995 Board of Equalization and
Review, and to schedule a meeting on Monday, May 15, 1995, at 2:00
p.m., in the First Floor Assembly Room of the county Administration
Building. Upon vote, the MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Register stated in order for an appeal to be heard by the
Board of Equalization and Review, a written appeal must be received
by the Tax Administrator by 5:00 p.m. today.
ADJOURNMENT
Chairman Greer adjourned the meeting at 10:40 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
