implemented, the first appeal could be an informal one in accordance with the IAAO <br /> recommendation. Note that the impacts of this change must be reviewed. <br /> LONG TERM - MEDIUM PRIORITY <br /> - #36 Agree that "stakeholder committee" be formed and that sub-committees <br /> might be the best approach to consider various topics. <br /> - #40 All agree that more public outreach is required and is a responsibility of the <br /> department. It is recognized that some resources may be required to insure this program <br /> is effectively implemented. <br /> LONG TERM— LOW PRIORITY <br /> - #28 Agree that modifiers are needed to bring realistic assessment procedures <br /> and cost factors island-wide. This would be helpful for public perception of process. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS COMPLETED OR IN PROGRESS <br /> - #1 Agree that some effort is being done to address this issue but more data <br /> should be collected. Better public outreach is called for. Finance will provide input in the <br /> next budget cycle. <br /> - #2 Agree that current exemption system is difficult to understand. `Stakeholder <br /> committee' can review this item. <br /> - #8 Agree that appraisers are currently doing some of their work by property type, <br /> but more can/should be done. It is recognized that some appraisers should do their work <br /> on a geographical basis. <br /> - #9 Effort is underway to develop performance standards and should be completed <br /> by 30 November. Standards are not quantified in all cases. This demands union <br /> discussion before implementation. <br /> - #10 Education for appraisers is currently being done at a minimum on a quarterly <br /> basis. Further resources are required in the next budget to accomplish fully. <br /> - #20 Division currently does holdout samples. Effort will be updated when the <br /> analyst is on board. <br /> - # 23 Finance notes this recommendation would increase budget costs for postage <br /> unnecessarily. Letters are sent to reapply for dedications and exemptions. Using MLS <br /> data has decreased staff work significantly. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS THAT REQUIRE NO ACTION: <br /> - #21 Finance indicates that security access is restricted and passwords are updated <br /> every 90 days. Industry standards are met - history screen exists and audit trail exists. <br /> - #29 Finance says this is a misunderstanding with consultants. No action required. <br /> - #39 Finance does watch the increase in delinquencies on a continuous basis. <br /> Delinquent amounts appear to be steady one year to the next. <br /> 4 <br />
