x a z „✓•j, 'k homestead exemption would be less difficult to obtain . In response to questions , Mr . Nolte estimated the tax on a $ 50 , 000 home , with homestead exemption , would be about $ 500 ; about $ 100 to $ 150 of that would be shifted, depending on whether the municipalities joined in . He has not been notified by any municipality that has adopted an ordinance granting the additional exemption . Administrator Chandler recalled , and Mr . Baird agreed , that the $ 576 , 727 estimate was only for the general fund and did not include the MSTU or Emergency Services District . Since those both utilize ad valorem taxes they would be included . Mr . Nolte advised that Brevard County is in the midst of collecting the data ; he thought they would have the information by August and perhaps we might be able to derive some inference from their experience , but every county in the state is different . Chairman Ginn wished to take no action since this item was not published on the agenda , and Vice Chairman Stanbridge again pointed out they are just asking for information , not making any decision . Mr . Nolte pointed out that the people who have called appear to be very much in need and very concerned about this tax relief. Chairman Ginn responded that there are other emergency funding assistance possibilities for those who need it . Further discussion ensued after which Chairman Ginn understood there was CONSENSUS that staff come back with further information so the public would be aware . Items added to the agenda after it has been published are supposed to be emergency items . Vice Chairman Stanbridge questioned this , asking if other items added to this agenda were emergency items . Chairman Ginn responded that the Board has not kept this strictly , but that is the way it is supposed to be , so that the public is informed . January 9 , 2001 60 BX I PU 700 1777777 1 h e
