She felt that the County should forward a list <br />of additional issues, including a request for economic development <br />or other aid for small counties and environmental mitigation rules <br />for low income housing. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that the County Attorney's <br />office is compiling a list of additional items to be presented at <br />next week's BCC meeting. <br />Jim Granse, 36 Pine Arbor Lane, felt that Item 2 is the <br />probably the most important one on the list and that every <br />homeowner should pay at least a minimal amount of property tax. <br />Commissioner Tippin agreed, and he reported that only 47% of <br />the property owners in Okeechobee County are paying property taxes <br />because after deducting the homestead exemption there is no taxable <br />value on the other 53%. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />39 <br />BOK - 90 pn- 34 <br />SEP 2 11993 <br />L <br />
