The third item on the agenda of the status report of the valuation syster.,
was given by Mr. Ferraro. He stated that there had been a time delay in the
completion pf the testing of the Cost System which, in turn, created a post-

meeting. Further, it was reported that the Cost and Valuation Systems were
proceeding within the general time frame and financial commitments, as
approved in prior Association actions. The Association members were not asked
for any financial or other systems commitment.

Item four was a general discussion of the format of the demonstration
meeting. It was agreed that the meeting should be held as soon as possible,
with an April target date. Further, the meeting area could possibly be the
Public Service facilities in Littleton, Colorado. It was restated that all
i
interested parties should be invited to the meeting. The general discussion
was that the meeting would be limited to a presentation of the valuation system
with the State and three general contractors, i.e. , State ADP, IBM, and
Professional Systems making the general presentation. The counties would
then be asked to participate as members of the panel, along with the report •
_ individuals. This part of the presentation would be for a question and
answer period at the conclusion of the meeting,
The Association discussed the idea that a second all-purpose meeting
should be held, wherein suppliers would be asked to physically demonstrate
applications of the valuation system. These demonstrations would be geared
to live data and actual county source information. The target date for such
a meeting would be two to three weeks following the general demonstration
r
meeting. It was further suggested that the demonstrations encompass all
levels or sizes of local government.
The Association members had a general discussion of the proposed
centralization of the data processing centers currently being used by Boulder
and Weld Counties. In connection with this general discussion, it was
• reported that there are competing organizations, i.e. , colleges that are
attempting to secure data from the assessors for general valuation studies.
