That panel has no authority to authorize a refund. The Board of County <br />Commissioners has the sole auNJOrity to approve or deny a refund request, <br />If you wish to proceed with a request for refund, I will submit documentation to the Board of <br />County Commissioners at their meeting on .Tune 13, 2006. As stated in my previous Letter, if the <br />commissioners were to make a refund not authorized by the statutes, those commissioners <br />individually become personally liable for those improperly refunded funds. It is my belief that a <br />refund is not warranted in this situation.. Therefore, my recommendation to the Board would be to <br />deny this request. <br />If; however, you have a 2006 valuation appeal, I would be happy to schedule a date and time for <br />you to appear and present documentation to support your appeah <br />Please let me know your wishes at your earliest convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />8 <br />.Judy Ryan <br />Deputy Assessor <br />
