She <br />stated she would like to start the informal hearings June 10th through the 14th'which is <br />earlier so there will be time to finish the work before the formal hearings are started. The <br />contract lists seven individuals that will be working on the project. She requested that <br />the board approve the resolution for the using the referee system and approve the <br />contract with Great Plains Appraisal. <br /> <br />Lancaster stated that she would like to refer this matter to the assessor committee <br />because of the concern on a conflict of interest. The appraisal firm represents the <br />assessor on her work and then assists the county board with the hearing process. <br />Pelland stated that she knows the board has concerns on this, but the appraisers must <br />abide by there code of ethics. When they are working in the assessor's office they are <br />using the mass appraisal approach and when they work for the county board they are <br />using the fee appraisal approach. They must address specific property and specific <br />situations. This is not a conflict because they use two different approaches. Lancaster <br />stated that this does clarify the work that is done but she has concerns on the <br />comparable properties that are used. Lancaster stated she would like to refer this to the <br />committee. Pel/and questioned if this would came back for approval because this <br />contract and the resolution are usually approved by April 1. Lancaster stated this would <br />be on the agenda in two weeks. <br /> <br />Logan made a motion and Arnold seconded to refer this to the assessor committee and <br />come back at the next meeting with a recommendation. Pelland stated that she would <br />provide a copy of the contract to the committee. <br /> <br />COUNTY BOARD ASSISTANT'S REPORT - Board Assistant Stacey Ruzicka included <br />the progress report in the packets.
