MR. SITKO: Stan Sitko, Real Property Tax Administrator. The software is
well basically, this is the hard copy of the software. What it allows us to do is to
value all real property using the cost approach. Up until 2012, we used to do
engineering studies in conjunction with the City and County of Honolulu.
However, at that point the engineering firm stopped bidding and we had to go
and find other sources for cost data. Three years ago we entered into an
agreement with Marshall and Swift.
All four counties are involved in
Marshall and Swift is the premier cost provider in the country. Many
jurisdictions use their data also. Although we are one of the few that has specific
data done for us.
specific questions here that I can answer. It does
MS. DAVID: Thank you. So is this connected to real property assessments and
valuing, that sort of thing, Mr. Sitko?
MR. SITKO: Exactly. It is the basis of our cost approach. Basically, when we
value most of our properties on the island, we rebuild them. We value what it
would cost to buy the land, then build the structure, then depreciate it down.
MS. DAVID: Wow, okay. I think I yield for other Council Members if they
have questions.

MR. SITKO: Among other things, we have to deal with some unique property
types that we have here. We have a lot of post and pier properties on the islands,
product is usable across allthe entire State; however, it is broken down into
Kona, Hilo and various other subsections with indexing.
Other things that are considered, unlike the main manual that they sell to most
appraisers, fee appraisers, this one actually has all the adjustments needed
already built into the numbers so that our people can just basically open it up, go
find the appropriate structure, and value it. The software part of it is that they
have adjusted their system and they have something called the MVP process,
where they take our data from our database, process it, and give us back the costs
by hand, but they do the actual calculations.
CHR. O'HARA our
assessments lag behind, what, like a year and a half or so? Is this going to bring
us a more closer to real time value, or not?
MR. SITKO: Just by the nature of the beast, we are always going to be one year
behind. For instance, for this upcoming tax year, for the 2017-18 fiscal year, we

ACTING CHR. EOFF: Thank you. Any other questions, Council Members, or
comments? Anyone in Hilo? Mr. Sitko or Ms. Miura, did you have anything
more to add, or?
MS. MIURA: Lisa Miura, Assistant Administrator at the Real Property Tax. I
think we just wanted to acknowledge that we realize the cost does appear to be
very high. Marshall and Swift is something that I believe would help to make
things more transparent. And it is documented, because right now what we were
getting from the City and County was pretty much just built into our tables, and

by the industry, so fee appraisers are very well versed with it and their numbers
