- • 5 Chair Willhoit requested the Manager look into the possibility of developing a payback policy for those individuals eligible for the Homestead Exemption to pay the assessment either over a longer period of time or when the property changes ownership. Geoffrey Gledhill pointed out that a new policy would necessitate that the entire PPP process be repeated. After further discussion about alternative ways for Mrs. O'Neal to pay the assessment, and/or to receive assistance, Chair Willhoit stated it would be unfair to do the entire procedure over because there would be an additional cost for administrative fees that would increase the cost of the project for each property owner. Camdssioner Marshall asked to have the approval delayed in order to make a determination if the assessment can be paid over a ten year period because such a system would help many older people in the same situation. No action was taken. Alternative solutions for paying the assessment will be outlined and presented at the next meeting. gi_ FIRST YEAR "WON 44 4 A. ' AraikA.1.4i_.

Weston LaBarre to correct the assessment for Lots 5 and 5A, Block A, Map 15A in Chapel Hill Township. She indicated that the tax map was wrong. However, Mr. LaBarre did not file a notice of appeal within the allowed ten days after the assessment roll was confirmed. Commissioner Marshall asked if the language in the notice sent out to the property owners is specific in indicating that the property owner has ten days in which to appeal the assessment amount. Smith indicated the notice does not specifically indicate the ten day limit for appealing the assessment. Geoffrey Gledhill indicated that the assessment role lists the property owners names, identification of property and assessed value. There is no information on how the assessment was derived. The property owner is told that the assessment role and map is available in the Clerk's office for them to review. If the Board finds an error has been made they may, by authority of G.S. 153A-198, set aside the assessment and start the procedure required of the project over which would change the cost to each property owner.
