As a longer-term strategy, <br /> Travis Myren said he will convene a work group in the late summer or early fall of subject matter <br /> experts, community members, and Tax staff to look at different tools to use in the future that can <br /> measure vertical equity so those tools can be used proactively, as well as some recommendations <br /> to build staff capacity. He explained that this is highly technical statistical work. <br /> Chair Bedford reminded the Board that the meeting on Thursday will take place at the <br /> Southern Human Services Center, and the Closed Session to evaluate the Manager, Attorney, <br /> and Clerk will be next Tuesday at the Whitted Building. <br />
