ADAMS: Let's return from the brief recess, we are now in open session. <br />If I could ask our Finance folks to please come back to the table, I believe we <br />have an additional question from one of the Commissioners. Thank you so much <br />for doing so. <br />MR. HOPKINS: If I could get a little bit of... I am a little bit confused on a <br />couple of the numbers that were given. How many parcels are subject to the <br />minimum tax right now? <br />MS. MIURA: Lisa Miura, Real Property Tax. Approximately 46,000. <br />MR. HOPKINS: So 46,000 parcels and if we went back and went and just taxed <br />them on appraised rates instead of the minimum, what was the loss going to be to <br />the County? <br />MS. MIURA: Okay, so I just want to clarify. We have properties in the <br />homeowner exemption that are getting lower minimum tax rates, so are you <br />saying if we got rid of those as well? <br />Page 39 <br />
