This section further enumerates the circumstances under which a board of <br />commissioners can make valuation changes. <br />The Orange County Board of Equalization and Review adjourned on June 14, 2006. Since that <br />time, staff has identified the need to change values as indicated on the attached spreadsheet in <br />accordance with the statutory provisions. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of these changes will decrease assessed value by $69,025 for <br />2006. This will result in a net decrease in revenue of $684.78 to the County, municipalities, and <br />special districts. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the resolution <br />approving the attached value changes. <br />
