ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER BIRD, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ESTABLISHED A POLICY AUTHORIZING THE FINANCE OFFICER TO REFUND TAX DEED PROCEEDS TO THOSE MAKING PROPER CLAIMS WITHIN THE TWO YEAR PERIOD SET BY STATUTE. DISCUSSION RE ASSESSMENT OF STREET LIGHTING DISTRICTS ON A PER PARCEL BASIS FINANCE OFFICER BARTON STATED THAT SINCE THE GIFFORD STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT WILL BE ASSESSED ON A PER PARCEL BASIS, HE HAD ASSUMED THE OTHER TWO EXISTING STREET LIGHTING DISTRICTS COULD MOVE (AHEAD ON THE SAME BASIS. HE REPORTED THAT HE HAD TALKED TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS OF BOTH DISTRICTS, AND THEY WERE IN FAVOR OF THE IDEA. IN THE R,OCKRIDGE STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT, THERE ARE 357 PARCELS, AND IT WOULD WORK OUT TO ABOUT $8.59 PER PARCEL, OR BASICALLY PER HOUSE. ASSESSING IN ROCKRIDGE ON THE MILLAGE BASIS HAS BECOME A PROBLEM DUE TO THE HIGHER HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FIGURE NOW IN EFFECT. THERE ARE TWO EXPENDITURES INVOLVED — THE COST OF THE AD, WHICH IS ABOUT $125, AND A FEE TO THE PROPERTY APPRAISER. IN THE r CASE OF THE LAURELWOOD DISTRICT, THE PER PARCEL COST WOULD WORK OUT TO $16.35. ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE :BOARD THAT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO DISTRICTS SINCE THE LAURELWOOD STREET LIGHTING DISTRICT WAS SET UP AS A MUNICIPAL SERVICE TAXING DISTRICT BY BOARD ACTION WHEREAS THE ROCKRIDGE DISTRICT WAS CREATED BY A REFERENDUM, AND HE WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH TO DETERMINE WHETHER IT WOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER REFERENDUM TO AMEND THE ASSESSMENT METHOD. THE BOARD REQUESTED THAT HE RESEARCH THIS AND MAKE A REPORT.
