i MR. LAW NOTED THERE ARE A LOT OF VARIATIONS TO CONSIDER. THIS WILL NOT STOP THAT PROCEDURE, BUT WILL SLOW IT DOWN, AND HE COULD ONLY GUESS IT WILL BE IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 1981. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT BELIEVED IT IS IMPORTANT THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THE OPTIONS. IF WE DONT ACCEPT MR. LAWS RECOMMENDATION FOR THE INTERIM ROLL, ANY TAXING BODY CAN FILE SUIT AND FORCE MR, LAW. IF THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN, WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FINAL TAX ROLL. SOME MONIES MIGHT COME IN, BUT THEY COULD NOT BE DISBURSED, AND WHEN YOU RAN OUT OF MONEY, YOU WOULD HAVE TO BORROW, WHICH THE CHAIRMAN DID NOT FEEL WAS A GOOD OPTION. THE OTHER OPTION IS TO JUST ACCEPT MR. LAWS RECOMMENDATION FOR AN INTERIM ROLL. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF THE MUNICIPALITIES AND OTHER TAXING BODIES, I.E. MOSQUITO CONTROL, ETC., HAVE TO AGREE. THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT THEY DON T. A LADY FROM THE AUDIENCE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT ,MOSQUITO CONTROL AGREES WITH THE INTERIM ROLL. CITY MANAGER LITTLE FELT IT IS THE PROCESS THE CITY WOULD PREFER. HE ASKED IF THE APPRAISER IS RECOMMENDING THERE BE A SUIT. MR. LAW STATED THAT HE IS RECOMMENDING THAT THE COUNTY AND THE PROPERTY APPRAISER JOIN TOGETHER AND SUE THE DOR BECAUSE THE NEW REGULATIONS CONFRONTING BOTH OF US ARE WIDE AND VARIED AND GOING THROUGH THE COURTS MAY PUT US IN A LITTLE BETTER POSITION TO PROCEED IN THIS MATTER. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT COMMENTED THAT WE CAN AGREE TO THE INTERIM ROLL AND AT THE SAME TIME FILE SUIT TO GET THE COURT TO ACT AS ANOTHER WATCHDOG. CITY MANAGER LITTLE NOTED THAT IF WE HAVE THE FINAL HEARING ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, THERE IS NO TIME LEFT TO AMEND THE BUDGET. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED IN REGARD TO TIMETABLES, AND COMMISSIONER LOY ASKED, IN REGARD TO THE SCHEDULE OUTLINED BY MR. LAW, IF WE ARE ASKING THE COURT TO DIRECT EVERY TAXING BODY IN THE COUNTY, MR. LAW CONFIRMED THAT WE WOULD BE. HE CONTINUED THAT HE DID SPEAK TO MAYOR FLOOD AND MAYOR SUIT, BOTH OF WHOM ARE IN FAVOR OF 36 JUL 3 0 NO BOOK 4- PAGE 1,a.L
