JUL 301980 THE INTERIM ROLL APPROACH. Boa 44 wE 132, THE SCHOOL BOARD ALSO HAS INDICATED THEY ARE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF IT SINCE THEY WOULD HAVE TO START BORROWING, POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS SEPTEMBER, AS MUCH AS $750,000 A MONTH. MAYOR NOLAN HAD NO OBJECTION TO THIS APPROACH. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE FACT THAT ALL THE TAXING BODIES CAN T HAVE HEARINGS ON THE SAME DAY AS THE COUNTY, AND IT WAS AGREED THAT ALL WOULD HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THIS. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THERE IS A GOOD BIT OF CONFUSION.- BUT ONFUSION, BUT FELT THE AMENDMENT TO THE TRIM BILL MAY ALLOW SOME FLEXIBILITY ON TIME SCHEDULES FOR THIS YEAR, HE EXPLAINED THAT WE ARE GOING TO COURT BECAUSE THE LEGISLATURE HAS PUT ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE POSITION OF NOT KNOWING WHAT TIME FRAMES HAVE TO BE MET AND THEREBY LEAVING THEM OPEN TO LITIGATION FROM TAXPAYERS. HE BELIEVED GOING TO COURT WILL HELP AVOID SOME OF THIS. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF THIS IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR WHETHER EVERY COUNTY HAS TO GO TO COURT ON THEIR OWN, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT EVERY COUNTY HAS ITS OWN RESPONSIBILITY. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT WE HAVE TO GIVE MR. LAW MILLAGES BASED ON THE INTERIM ROLL TO CERTIFY THE BUDGET, AND MR. LAW AGREED THAT WE WOULD BE GIVING HIM THE MILLAGE ON AUGUST 20TH. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHEN WE WOULD HAVE TO COMPLETE BUDGET HEARINGS - WOULD MR. LAW NEED THIS ON THE 20TH OR FIVE DAYS PRIOR? MR. LAW STATED THAT HE WOULD GIVE THIS TO THE BOARD ON THE 13TH, AND THEN THE BOARD WOULD GIVE IT BACK TO HIM ON THE 20TH. COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT WHEN YOU GET THE HIGHER ROLL THAT THE ASSESSED VALUATIONS WILL BE HIGHER THAN ASSESSED ON THE LAST ROLL, AND MR. LAW STATED THAT IT APPEARS THAT WAY. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT WE ARE GOING TO OPERATE ON THIS INTERIM ROLL, WHICH IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE LESS THAN THE FINAL ROLL. WE ARE GOING TO SET MILLAGE ON SOMETHING THAT WILL BE LESS THAN THE FINAL VALUATION, AND HE NOTED THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO GET CAUGHT IN SOME KIND OF WEB BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING AT TWO DIFFERENT VALUATIONS.
