“So this is to add two positions to what you currently have. One is to reclassify the board aid position and add an additional one to that. So two total people increase. Correct. Do we have an estimate or maybe you know, Ralph, what is our expected return on the commercial re-evaluation?”

“So I guess I'll rephrase what I was asking. We anticipate a significant return in tax revenue by reevaluating commercial property in this county. Is that correct? Or we wouldn't be looking to spend close to a million dollars on having an agency do it for us?”

“Well, I understand that it's significantly better now at one hundred twenty thousand versus close to a million. Right. So it's but I want to make sure for people that are listening to hear that we're expecting this additional cost to the county. will come back more so through additional revenue from getting accurate valuations of commercial property.”

“It was prior to this board, yes. Yeah, 2016. okay so do we need to approve this tonight or do it at the time of budget presentation to see the full impact of what this does to his budget we were going to run the budget analysis at the next meeting after the work session”

“Yeah, I mean, it's my personal opinion from what I know. The citizens have been paying the tax burden of the employee position that David Knowles filled. So I have no problem with reclassifying that to his department where he could have that resource field. And we move the budget line item to reflect under his department. The county has been supporting that kind of salary payment anyway. I'd like to see the data that justifies being able to add the position.”
