To: Rudy Legaspi, Executive Assistant
From: Gary Riyota, R.P. Tax Administrator
Subject: Tax Board of Review Nomination
The Chairman of the Tax Board of Review, Roy Forbes, has
directed me to send a letter to you and fully explain the
nature of the work required of the tax board members.
First, it must be clearly explained that this board is not
ceremonial in nature. There are 16 meetings aleady scheduled
for the 93-44 tax year and additional meetings will be
required to dispose of all appeal cases. An additional six
to ten meetings may be required. The board meets every
Tuesday from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. All of the members are
expected to attend each of the sessions. Some of the case
hearings are scheduled in West Hawaii to accommodate the
property owners from the West Hawaii area. The board travels
to Rona on Monday morning and returns to Hilo on Wednesday
afternoon. The case hearings last the entire day and often
times end after 4:30 pm. They usually spend Monday and
Tuesday night at the Ring Ram hotel and start case hearings
early on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. At the moment two
trips are scheduled for the Rona area.
Roy Forbes is concerned that the nominee is not fully
apprised of the duties and responsibilities before the
nomination which creates problems for the other board
members later on. Please be sure to explain the nature and
the amount of work required of the tax board member before
the nomination.
