Chief Clerk
Planning Advance
Moved by Mr. Jones, seconded by Mr. Flynn, that the above Resolution presented
by Mr. Bourke be adopted by the Board of Washington County Commissioners.
Roll call vote taken:
Mr. Jones - Yes; Mr. Flynn - Yes.
Motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Dale H. Clapsaddle jve oted the Board of Commissioners the following letter:
Gentlemen:
Thank you for the opportunity of being able to bring to your attention several
concerns of the Peters Township School District.
My request of February 15, 1974 was to speak tm four points and they are as
follows:
1. I want to bring to your attention the fine service by several employees. The citizens of
Washington County are being well served by Mrs. Kay Lawrence, Mr. Reese Dugan and
Mrs. Phil Chuey. I am sure there are others in the County, however my contact with Cour
employees is mostly in the tax assessment offices. The county will continue to progress as
long as persons like those mentioned work in governmental service.
2. The Commissioners are to be commended for supporting an independent property tax
appeal board. The Commissioners have more important thing to do than measure "front Fee
or count the number of fireplaces in a new home.
Although I support the concept of an independent appeal board, there are several recommend.
I ask you to consider:
2-a. Appoint members to the Board that have currect experience in the real-estate industry.
2-b. Adopt a policy that fixes the time period that an appeal must be heard. A recent appea
filed by the School District experienced a fifty day time span between filing and the appeal
being heard.
2-c. Require that at least bie bvawid-emember inspect a residential property being appealed
and at least two members inspect commercial property being appealed. There is not much
benefit in looking at a poloroid photo of a property taken on an overcast day.
2-d. Supply all persons appealing their assessment with a copy of the assessment office
worksheet. The property owner has a right to review the accuracy of a public record that
determines how much his tax liability will be for as long as he own0ohe property. Perhaps
there would be fewer appeals reaching the Board if the owner could bring a clerical error to
ions

w
the attention of the Chief Assessor. Supplying a copy of the assessment worksheet could have
been very helpful to the School District this month. An appeal filed by the School District
this month. An appeal filed by the School District had to be postponed after the appeal began
because the assessors records could not be found. The appeal has not been re -scheduled so I
can only assume the records are still missing. If the District would have had a copy of the wor sheet
prior to the appeal, I would have permitted,the ,Beard to share my copy of the records.
2-e. Discourage the practice of using a tape recorder at tax appeals. The Board should use a
secretary that can take shorthand. Persons that appear before the Board should get a copy of
the record of proceedings. Is there no place in government safe from the tape recorder? Wha
happened to the art of using the written and spoken word?
3. The county tax reassessment program is welcome news - however overdue. There are
several recommendations that you may find to have some merit:
3-a. Charge the firm that will do the reassessment with the responsibility of physically review ng
every property in the county. This program is too important to be done by aerial survey and th
"factoring up" of current assessments.
3-b. Provide the property owner the opportunity to verify the accuracy of the Property descrip ion
as supplied by the firm doing the work. The taxpayer is going to pay (at least) $1, 000, 000 for a
program that will take several years. The least he should expect is a chance to review the in-
formation on his property without going through the Appeal Board and perhaps losing a day's pa .
4. It is suggested that a management consultant firm be retained to study: (1) the total tax
assessment function of the county. It serves no purpose to spend at least $1, 000, 000 to update
a system if the same work to restructure the office of Chief Assessor in order that the Chief
Assessor would be available to supervise his office during the afternoon hours. (2) the time
period between the formal closing on a property and the placing of the property on the tax roles has
been reduced noticeably. The current backlog if 5 months, i. e. , properties occupied in Novem er
1973., have not been placed on the roles. A 5 month backlog is too long to promote efficient rec rd
keeping. (3) the disparity of assessment ratios between properties of recent construction and
those of a few years in age is growing wider. The results of the county reassessment program
if done accurately, will not be available for use for several years. Great care must be exprrisladt-rt
that assessments be kept equitable until the completion of the County Assessment Program. It
would be economical if all assessments could be performed by county employees. In the past
three meetings it is noted that 3 payments totaling $1, 700 have been made to local real estate
salemen for appraising property. Are there no employees in the assessor's office who hold
current property appraisal licenses.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.
Remarks
Mr. Flynn told Mr. Clapsaddle that he is to be praised for having the courage to come
before the commissioners with the above recommendations.
