changed to make it more feasible to do the job without losing money. Director Kristina Kitzman made the
motion to approve the revised fee inspection schedule. Director Jared Brnak seconded, the motion passed with
all in favor.
Notice of Valuation — This refers to the Gallagher Amendment which is now in effect for 2017-2018 the tax
value has dropped from 7.9% to 7.2%. Currently we should not see a drop however Chief Beach will get a
better look at the assessed values in August.
