VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 8. TAX BASE INFORMATION Ken Thompson explained the difficulty in providing accurate tax base information in a revaluation year. The tax base information may change from that originally reported to the schools. The revenue estimates in the Manager's Budget as well will be subject to revisions. The information can be given out with a notation that this is an estimate and subject to change. Chair Marshall emphasized the importance of providing these estimates in a timely manner and asked that everything possible be done to help the schools in their school budgeting process. Commissioner Willhoit stated objection to providing figures - written or verbal - without that information being provided to the Board of Commissioners. He understands the reason the schools requested this information was so they could determine the amount of tax increase proposed but what they should be proposing is a budget based on needs and not on a tax rate. POLICY Motion was made by Commissioner Carey seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to establish the policy that initial tax base valuation will be transmitted annually in written form to the other jurisdictions within the County and to the Board of Commissioners with the stipulation that they are only estimates, subject to refinement until the date certified by the Tax Assessor as constituting the official levy. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 9. HOME IMPROVEMENT LOAN PROGRAM APPLICATION Tara Fikes explained the purpose of the loan program is to provide low interest loans to assist low and moderate income homeowners with the rehabilitation of their substandard homes. There is approximately $1,000, 000 available statewide for this program. Motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the submission of an executed commitment form to N.C. Housing Finance Agency for the Home Improvement Loan Program, and authorize the Chair to sign the form contingent upon approval by the County Attorney. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 10. BUDGET AMENDMENTS
