Board of Review Statewide Conference <br /> The annual conference of State and County Boards of Taxation, to be hosted this year by <br /> the island of Hawaii, has again been postponed to next year due to budgeting restraints. <br /> General Comments <br /> To avoid any misunderstandings or inaccuracies, it is recommended questions on Board <br /> actions should be referred directly to the Board. <br /> The Hilo hearings are still being held in the combination storage/conference room facility at <br /> the Real Property Tax office. It is hoped that with the relocation of county offices in the <br /> near future, improved facilities will be available for hearing appeals. <br /> This year, Kona hearings were held in public rooms provided (at not cost) by the King Kam <br /> hotel. The facilities were excellent and appreciated by both the public and the board. <br /> <br /> The Kona office was understaffed with respect to supervision which placed an additional <br /> burden on Wesley Takai, Supervising Appraiser. The Board appreciated his additional <br /> effort and the efficient manner in which the hearings were scheduled. <br /> 4 <br /> <br />
