The Board will convene on April 4, <br /> 1988 to set dates for hearing appeals. Taxpayers will be able <br /> to appeal from that date through June 30, 1988. It is <br /> expected that the Board will complete its work on July 1, <br /> 1988. Notices of Equalization and Review decisions will be <br /> mailed thereafter. <br /> The Board of Equalization and Review will consist of five or <br /> more members. It is essential that there be a quorum at each <br /> meeting and that members who decide the appeals be present to <br /> hear the taxpayer and discussion on each appeal. Adherence to <br /> an attendance policy will be necessary to ensure this on the <br /> part of all members appointed. <br /> It is not known at this point how many appeals there will be <br /> until the appeals procedure and dates are advertised. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S) : <br /> Adopt resolution and request Clerk to the Commissioners adver- <br /> tise for citizens to serve. <br />
