I also hold the MAI and SRA <br />5 designations from the inaudible. <br />6 <br />7 Laura Goode: Can you explain what those are? <br />8 <br />9 David Smith: They're additional requirements that you have to have. Sort of a step up from just a <br />10 general appraiser. A sort of vocation that the state has. As a matter of fact, when they started <br />11 licensing people in the state they just automatically gave it to people that had a MAI designation. <br />12 You have to take a series of courses, have your experience reviewed by other appraisers, and <br />13 you have to take something that's called an in -depth report to show that you're capable of being <br />14 an appraiser. <br />15 <br />16 Laura Goode: And how long have you been a certified real estate appraiser? <br />17 <br />18 David Smith: Ever since they started it, I've been an appraiser for 35 years. <br />19 <br />20 Laura Goode: How did you become involved in this particular site? <br />21 <br />22 David Smith: I was contacted by Michael Hurst. <br />23 <br />24 Laura Goode: Was that with Towercom? <br />25 <br />26 David Smith: Yeah, I guess. <br />27 <br />28 Laura Goode: What were you asked to do? <br />29 <br />30 David Smith: To do an impact analysis on this tower, on the surrounding properties. <br />31 <br />32 Laura Goode: Will you be paid as part the work you did for this site? <br />33 <br />34 David Smith: Yes I will. <br />35 <br />36 Laura Goode: Will the payment that you receive be contingent upon the opinion you give here <br />37 tonight at this hearing? <br />38 <br />OC Board of Adjustment — 12/12/16 Page 11 of 156 <br />
