z <br /> the Board of County Commissioners fix the compensation and allowances <br /> to be paid to members of the E&R board. The resolution would be <br /> effective throughout 1996 unless sooner revised or rescinded. <br /> In 1995 the board consisted of two commissioners and Tom Heffner as <br /> chairman. Because the number of appeals is likely to be quite low in <br /> 1996 , staff suggests that the Commissioners appoint only the three <br /> regular members, should they opt for a special E&R board. Staff also <br /> suggests that the Board of Commissioners fix compensation at the level <br /> established in 1994 and 1995 - $75 per meeting attended, with the E&R <br /> board chair receiving $100 per meeting attended. Funds to cover the <br /> compensation for E&R board members are available in the Revaluation <br /> Fund budget. <br /> If the Commissioners decide to appoint a special E&R board for 1996, <br /> staff can solicit applications from prospective E&R board members, <br /> including those who served in 1994 and 1995; and schedule Commissioner <br /> appointments to the special E&R board at the April 1 regular <br /> Commissioners' meeting. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) ) : The Manager recommends that the Board of <br /> Commissioners decide between two options: (1 ) serve as the 1996 E&R <br /> Board, or ( 2 ) adopt the attached resolution to appoint a special board <br /> of equalization and review for the purpose of hearing 1996 valuation <br /> appeals, and establish compensation for members of the E&R board at <br /> $100 per meeting for the E&R board chair and $75 per meeting for other <br /> E&R board members. <br />
