Chairman O'Bryan asked that each option be discussed and acted upon separately, and in the order presented. Board Member MacKay commented that the tone presented in the memorandum was very important. She was looking for help from the Property Appraiser on how to discern the best decision, and she asked for a more non-confrontational and dispassionate way of explaining what was written in the memorandum. Mr. Bibeau commented that after having been through a history of observing Mr. Robinson, not just with this particular tax representative, but with others, there was a very clear and obvious type of relationship that exists between these two parties. He clarified that he was not saying that Mr. Robinson had a prejudice against the Property Appraiser or a bias toward that representative. The latter was what he believed exists because Mr. Robinson had done a three-year flip-flop with his decisions, granted relief the first year, denied relief the second year, and granted relief the third year. The Clerk stated that Sheila Anderson was not notified of this meeting in response to Chairman O'Bryan's inquiry. Attorney Collins clarified that generally the Board could accept or reject the recommendations; therefore, there was no point in having everyone present, if the Board decided to accept the Special Magistrate's recommendations. He advised the Board that if they do not accept the Special Magistrate's recommendation, then they have to render a decision on their own. Discussion ensued and Attorney Collins advised the Board what actions they could take at this meeting. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion passed unanimously. The Board approved recommendation#1. not to accept the Special Magistrate's recommendations for Petitions 2007-0393, 2007-0394, 2007-0395, 2007-0396, and 2007-0397, as recommended in the memorandum.
