The Indian River County Value Adjustment Board <br />180127th Street �A <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />�ZORIQ4' <br />Telephone: (772) 226-1432 <br />Fax: (772) 978-1857 <br />E-mail: Axia@clerk.indian-river.org <br />Web address: http://Clerk.indian-river.org <br />April 29, 2021 <br />Ms. Juliana Young <br />5865 30 Lane <br />Vero Beach, FL 32966 <br />Dear Ms. Young, <br />At the April 15, 2021 Value Adjustment Board (VAB) Final Meeting, the Board discussed your invoice for <br />the 2020 Tax Year hearings. They expressed disappointment in the tardiness of the recommendations, and <br />the invoice amount as compared to other magistrate billings from previous years. On November 23, 2020, <br />the Board Counsel sent a memorandum to the Special Magistrates regarding the timeliness of providing <br />written recommendations and a reminder of the contractual requirements to provide written <br />recommendations no later than 14 days.after a hearing. <br />Furthermore, the Special Magistrate Agreement you signed permits the Board to adjust payment to you <br />when tardy recommendations are submitted. For example, Article 1: Service, Paragraph 1.1(c) states in <br />pertinent part as follows: "Making recommended findings of fact and conclusions of law to the BOARD <br />concerning the determination of the Indian River County Property Appraiser, within fourteen (14) calendar <br />days of the conclusion of testimony of any case" and Article 3: Term of Services, Paragraph 3.4 states in <br />pertinent part as follows: `In the event Special Magistrate does not file reports with the Clerk within <br />fourteen (14) days of the hearing, the BOARD, in its discretion, may elect to refuse to pay all or part of <br />Special Magistrate's fee for those cases". <br />In review of your Special Magistrate 2020-21 Time Sheet, the Board questioned the amount of time billed <br />for office time, no shows, and felt the invoice -lacked detail in regards to the billing hours and time spent <br />on each task. According to Article 4: Method of Billing and Payment, Paragraph 4.2, "Should the BOARD <br />Clerk or the BOARD's designee determine that the billing in not commensurate with the services performed, <br />work accomplished or hours expended, Special Magistrate shall adjust billing according". The VAB felt <br />that the billing was not commensurate with the services performed, work accomplished, or hours expended. <br />Prior to making its final determination, the Board requests that you adjust the billing accordingly. <br />Best Regards, <br />os'ph <br />E. FIescher <br />Chairman of the Value Adjustment Board <br />for Indian River County <br />-30- <br />
