The VAB Attorney commented that in Brevard County the issue has come up where the <br /> appraisers look at the training manual as being law, and as he pointed out it is not the law. <br /> Property Appraiser Nolte advised that the Legislature has put on the ballot for this year a <br /> 3% cap on everything, not just homestead, and in a couple years, if it passes, no one will be <br /> coming to the VAB except exemptions. Questions were posed to the Property Appraiser by the <br /> Board seeking further information. <br /> Attorney Hancock provided an update on the Lewis Barton litigation, stating that the <br /> matter has been dismissed in Circuit Court. <br /> The Board Clerk opened discussion regarding Orientation for Special Magistrates and the <br /> Board made several suggestions: <br /> • Provide an information letter of instruction v.1/ <br /> • Piggyback off of another county when they hold their orientation <br /> • Utilize the tools or PowerPoint from another county, modify it to our <br /> requirements, and provide it to the Special Magistrate. <br /> The Board Clerk announced that the hearing room has been reserved for hearings to start <br /> October 14, 2011 and to run continuously through January 20, 2012 except during holiday weeks. <br /> Property Appraiser Nolte suggested holding hearings in room B-501 due to less traffic <br /> and visibility. A brief discussion followed. <br /> The Board Clerk felt that utilizing the room near the Property Appraiser's office would <br /> give the appearance of being biased, and asked for the Board's opinion. <br /> Page 14 <br /> Value Adjustment Board <br /> Organizational Meeting <br /> July 18,2011 <br />
