<br />5. PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS <br /> <br />Commissioner Voltz <br /> drew reference to a letter to Senator Mike Haridopolos that pertains <br />to Homestead exemptions and assessments as well as a number of different issues. She noted that <br />they had discussions with the Florida Association of Counties on the matter and wanted to talk <br />about how they could get together and move forward in their Agenda to the Florida Association of <br />Counties. (Clerk’s Note: a copy of the letter was given to members of the Panel.) <br /> <br />Commissioner Davis <br /> announced that there was an upcoming Florida Association of <br />Counties’ Workshop scheduled for November 1, 2006, where they would craft legislative talking <br />points and legislative positions for this coming session, regarding the property fairness of the <br />property tax issue. He asked for Representative Ralph Poppell’s insight. <br /> <br />Florida State Representative, Ralph Poppell, <br /> explained how this issue is getting a lot of <br />discussion from the incoming Speaker to the Governor, and there were a lot of things that still <br />needed to be worked out. He felt it was a bit premature to “nail something down” as there were <br />still continuing discussions. He informed the Panel that the first organizational committee meeting <br />is scheduled for November 21, 2006, and the second would be in December. <br /> <br />Commissioner Davis <br /> commented that he was still hearing, through the grapevine, about <br />the homestead exemption increase, a tax cap in revenue, and a millage cap, which he thought were <br />not pleasing to the County Administrator. <br /> <br />County Administrator Joseph Baird <br /> interjected that there was conflicting information. <br />In that, there was talk about “we have an unfair tax system with the 3% for homesteaded property” <br />then, in the same breath, there was also talk about doubling the homestead exemption, then a cap, <br />when all that is being done is shifting the burden and yet trying to cap. He discussed, in detail, the <br />October 25, 2006 <br />3 <br /> <br />Joint Workshop / Brevard <br /> <br />
