He gave a history of tax activities, responsibility of the tax assessor-collector, method of appraisal , and future considerations. He ex- plained that in 1962 the Tax Department began re-evaluating one-fifth of the city each year to insure that tax rolls were maintained on a fair market basis. Eval- uation represents an estimate of what property will sell for on the open market, based on sales of like properties. Appraised values are determined by the new replacement cost, less depreciation, plus land value. In market analysis the Tax Department gathers and conforms sales information within the annual re-work area, and is broken down into square foot prices by areaand improvement character- istics. In 1971, the sales in the present re-work area average 13.5 percent more than the appraised values. This indicates that some adjustment must be made to the property valuations in order that all properties be taxed uniformly. He explained that the purpose of the Tax Department is not to raise revenue, but to assess property at market value. He explained that they hoped with the aid of a com- puter that they will be able to cover the whole city in one year without adding other appraisers to the staff. He estimated that 1973 would be the earliest that this program could be initiated. E. M. Seydell, 3301 Cumberland, stated he would like to find out what percent increase the Tax Department expects to have in the southwest part of town when the evaluation is complete. Jerry Dunn explained that they were not far enough along yet to make this judgment - that any figure they have would be average and not pertaining to any certain property. He also inquired if their studies were grouped in ages of buildings. Would the percentage be less in the older areas than in the newer areas. It was explained that age is one of the criteria for eval- uation. Mr. Seydell made several comments, stating that he felt the main conten- tion of this program is that it should all be done at the same time and instituted simultaneously. Moved by Alderman Darner that the meeting be adjourned. Motion seconded by Alderman Drake, and carried unanimously. The Board of Aldermen adjourned at 11 :28 A.M. PASSED AND APPROVED this a' day of 1971.
