At the same time, I know that there is <br /> always room for improvement. <br /> Toward this end, it is my understanding that a subcommittee of the Finance <br /> Committee will be formed in the near future to review the county tax code and <br /> make recommendations as to how it can be improved. I will bring your letter and <br /> specific concerns to the attention of the committee members. <br /> In the meantime, I will also provide copies of your letter and my response to all <br /> Council Members, so they may consider it during the public 1learings this week. <br /> Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. Ifi I can be of further help, <br /> please let me know. <br /> Sincere y, ~ <br /> .
