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 20, 2002. Since that <br /> time, staff has identified the need to change values as indicated on the attached spreadsheet, <br /> in accordance with the statutory provisions. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of these changes will decrease assessed value by $14,637 <br /> for 2002. This will result in a net decrease in revenue of$244.62 to the County, municipalities, <br /> and special districts. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The County Manager recommends that the Board adopt the <br /> resolution approving the attached value changes. <br />
