ADDITIONAL ITEM
Appraisal Supervisor Montgomery reported that the Tax Department has found some discrepancies in
the value of condo units at Seapath Towers. He requested the Board to direct staff to make specific changes in
value by correcting the view orientation factor of units in column six to be the same as units in column 4, as
they have the same floor plan and similar views.
The Board directed staff to correct the errors found in the assessed value of properties at Seapath
Towers and to work with Assistant County Attorney Huffman in composing a letter to explain the need for the
correction to the eleven property owners of column 6.

There being no further business, Chairman Caster recessed the 2007 Board of Equalization and
Review at 3:15 p.m. The meeting will reconvene on September 24,2007 at 9:00 a.m.
