This section further enumerates the circumstances under which a board of <br />commissioners can make valuation changes. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of these changes will decrease assessed value by $339,457 <br />for 2000. This will result in a net decrease in revenue of $ 4,107.61 to the County, <br />municipalities, and special districts. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The County Manager recommends that the Board adopt the resolution <br />approving the attached value changes. <br />
