89038 - Chris Harshbarger presented the formal recommendation of the Mayor's Assessors'
Office Merger Committee on the impact of merging the City and County Assessors'
Office. Committee membership included Chris Harshbarger, Mel Sodawasser, Dave
Greene, Don Page, Mayor Bernie McKinley, Rose Angel, John Rooff, Diane Shoultz, Dr.
Charles Means, Jack Niemann, Carl Zimmerman, Karol Rae Hoth, Jeri Jenner, Tim
Myers, Earl Jago, and Sharon Juon. Their report included the review of the size of
the jurisdiction, number of employees, merged versus separate City/County
assessment jurisdictions, pay rates, property owner protests, board of review
procedures, and legal constraints. The recommendation as outlined would save
$71,719 in year one and $105,230 thereafter when comparing the current budgets with
the merged budgets. Mr. Harshbarger reported that in order for the merger to
become effective the Council would need to rescind City Ordinance No. 1729 which
establishes the City Assessor's Office.
After discussion, the City Council recommended that this proposal be taken to the
Council at its next regularly meeting scheduled for April 14, 1986.
89039 - Moved by Seeber, seconded by Wright
that the Council adjourn.
Motion carried.
