Thompson and Bill Nelson, a

The county assessor said his
office physically appraises
one-sixth of the county each
year. The rest of the county is
valued with the use of a Value
Index. The assessor's office
monitors the sales of property
in the area and compares
those figures to the previous
appraisal. The difference in
the two figures is computed

disputes go to board
into a percentage average
increase for all property. All
property. in that area is taxed
as being equal to that percen
tage increase.
Sweek said not all property
increases in value'at the rate
it is taxed so some people
dispute the Value Index ap
praisal. The Board of Equali
zation looks at the property
and can hire an outside
appraiser to physically decide
the valuation of the property
rather than relying on the
Value Index.
The appraisal can increase.
Sweek said, and if (hat is the
case, the property will be
taxed at the higher rate. He
said it does not happen too
often but added that some
times a person will dispute the
valuation and want it to be
valued higher because he
wants to put the property up
for sale.

Superintendent says schools
won't open
School superintendant Matt
Doherty spoke to the Chamber
of Commerce Monday about
the school budget.
"We have an insufficient tax
base so there is no way we can
open the schools next year if
we don't pass a hudget hy
then." Doherty warned.
The school levy on the Mav
20 ballot is for about $3
million. The lax base would
only allow a hudget nf about
Sfioo.flon which would only
operate the schools for about a
month. Doherty said.
He explained that the re
quested budget going to the
voters is for 2fi percent more
than last year but 13 percent of
that is because two new
schools will be opera ting in the
north end of the county
Increased salaries of 14 per
cent for cert ificd sta f f and 13.8
percent for classified staff
also add to the increase.
Salaries makeup 79 percent of
the budget.
The estimated tax rate is

increase of 35 cents per $1.0OO.
