Adjustments-Personnel Issues
Personnel Issues - Judy Mutton
Judy presented the name of a new corrections officer for the jail to the
commission for review.
Tax Adjustment - Diana
Manning requested that the commission review the property tax situation on her mother's
home. She recently inherited the home and discovered that the taxes have not been
paid for four years.
Commissioner Ross noted that the valuation went up
considerably in 1999 and then went back down the following year. Alisa informed him
that personal property tax for equipment had been attached to the property tax for that
year.
Alisa Muir from the Assessor's office suggested that
Mrs. Manning go to the Assessor's office and they will review teh taxes for adjustments.
A financial arrangement can be made for payments.
Keith Rowley - Keith states he appealed the
taxes on his residence because he felt they were high on the 28th day of August. On
the 30th of August the county reappraised his trailer park raising the taxes on the
trailer park $110.00. He feels that the reappraisal is retribution because of his
tax appeal.
Lisa stated that the Assessor's office is doing
reappraisals of Duchesne City. Mr. Rowley's home was done in a different time frame
than the trailer park. There is not relation to the reappraisal of Mr. Rowley's
trailer park to the tax appeal for his residence. The trailer park reappraisal was
done a few eeks after his residence.
Commissioner Thayne stated that Mr. Rowley has an appeal
process he may go through for both properties.

with Mr. Rowley and make any needed corrections.
