SHORT TERM - MEDIUM PRIORITY - #13 Finance notes a system for review of invalid sales exists, but is not formalized/written down. This can be done quickly. A lack of independent oversight adds to difficulties, particularly in regard commercial property appraisals. - #16 This can and will be done when a statistical analyst is on board. SHORT TERM - LOW PRIORITY - #11 Some upgrades are already being developed, but investment is simply too expensive. A new GIS analyst was recently hired and has begun work on a number of issues related to these recommendations. Work on the GIS link begins by year end. - #15 County agrees that ratio study analysis should be extended by market and appraisal areas and this will be implemented shortly. The need for an additional analyst is noted. - #17 Ratio study procedure manual is a good idea but not critical. Training classes should resolve some of the shortfalls. LONG TERM - HIGH PRIORITY - #3 Agree that code changes and review are required. Corp Counsel should be called in to review Section 4.2 of IAAO report to begin process. - #4 Agree that code changes are needed but Finance will need a valuation analyst to properly conduct studies and other personnel to expand inspection of properties. Resources can be added in next budget. - #6 Justifying budget expenditures is critical but can't be done on a short-term basis. IAAO report would call for a change in the manner in which County budget is constructed. However, there must be some consideration for allocating resources to non- residential properties. - #12 County uses some IAAO standards but not all. Agree to integrate new standards. Two new analysts must be hired, two positions exist, one is funded and recruitment is on-going, the other position is unfunded. County will include this in the FY 13-14 budget submission. - #14 County says this issue will be resolved when additional analysts are on board. Tax division trims outliers but not to extent recommended by IAAO. This will be addressed over time. - #19 County agrees that an independent oversight system should be formed. This would contribute to the reduction of public perceptions of inequality. Unclear where this oversight should reside — state or county? Committee recommends that an IAAO review of this effort be made after two years. - #38 Finance is not averse to changes that would alter the short time frame for filing appeals and the certification of property values. A one-year period is suggested. If 3
