Henry's more specific concern is <br />the assessed value placed on downtown commercial properties. Henry said these properties were over - <br />assessed, did not correlate to market value, and this creates an impediment to downtown investment. <br />Brief discussion followed touching on the overall assessment guidelines promulgated by the State and <br />how they were implemented. Absent the County Assessor, Rosemary Mandrici, to explain the process it <br />was determined to continue bill 15 -13 until the County Assessor had an opportunity for input. <br />Before adjourning Karen White asked a formal letter asking the Assessor to come to the next meeting be <br />drafted and sent. <br />Karen adjourned the meeting at 5:12 P.M. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Karen White, Chairperson <br />Personnel & Finance Committee <br />
