on SBOE-Ordered Reappraisal
DATE: April 25, 1985
MEMORANDUM
Enclosed is a copy of your county assessor's report to the SBOE for the
period from March 15 to April 15, 1985, along with the DPT Field
Supervisor's report for that time period.
The summary report for your county 's progress in this period which was
submitted to the SBOE by this Division, reads as follows:
Commercial Property
The progress to this point indicates the reasonable possibility
of being completed by mid-May. "If it doesn't get completed,"
according to the reappraisal supervisor's report, "the blame
can most certainly be directed to the assessor, because he very
emphatically refused to hire more people. Also, with the
exception of one in-house appraiser putting in a few additional
hours, the balance of the in-house people have not put in
additional hours. I feel they should set an example for the
contracted people on overtime hours contributed to the
orderedproject.
"I am also concerned with the upcoming 1985 level of value on
all classes of property being implemented. The present
assessor will most likely not run for re-election. This could
very well leave a void in getting the new level of value
properly applied. The number of permanent staff is very
definitely inadequate.

"A study should be conducted to determine the number of full
time staff required to get the 1985 level of value properly
applied. I should point out that this county is not adequately
staffed with appraisers in commercial , residential , and
agricultural properties. I would also suggest the Property Tax
Administrator make the County Commissioners of Weld County
aware of this problem, as the time remaining to implement the
1985 level of value is only about two years at this point in
time."
Approximately 25% of the appraisals have been finalized and
entered on the computer. 95% of the cost approach is complete.

Gentlemen:
In compliance with your order for the reappraisal of Commercial
properties in Weld County, I wish to submit the following progress
for our fourth report.
To date land values are complete as to sales and verification.
Values have been entered on area maps and are being posted to the
appraisal records.
Income data and market data has been completed to be used in the
correlation of values.
The cost approach is approximately 95% complete with 100% completion
expected by April 17th.
Our Chief Appraiser and Mr. Bud Wardrip, State Consultant, started
correlating values on March 22nd. On April 8th we started one of the
field appraisers on the correlation along with Barbara Fournier from
the State. On Monday April 15th the State is sending Tom Nielsen to
help in the correlation. The two additional DPT staff members will be
assigned until completion of the project.
To date approximately 25% of the commercial appraisals have final
estimated values which have been keyed into the computer.
Yours truly,
H. H. Hansen
Weld County Assessor

The assignment of two division staff for the duration

this supervisor .
