At the December 6, 2007 meeting, the Board had directed staff to review the assessed values of
properties at 2809,2818,2819, and 2821 Shandy Avenue. After a field examination, the property
record cards were corrected showing increases in value for those properties. Upon Mr. Glasgow's
recommendation, the Board agreed to wait until next year to correct the assessed values due to the fact
that the property owners had not filed an appeal and the errors were found late in the year. The Board
affirmed the value of the Woodward property.
NEW BUSINESS
The Board agreed to hear an appeal filed by Ernest Bozeman of 7178 Carolina Beach Road. Mr.
Bozeman had filed appeals on four properties before the May 7, 2007 deadline, but he failed to respond to the
Value Change Notices ofJuly 3, 2007. Mr. Glasgow will notify Mr. Bozeman of the Board's decision to hear
