00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:29.520
seems to have gone okay. We did do the preliminary commitments from the old um CAM system from our Tyler current system. We are in the process of our review on vision. So by the time we do our actuals, we will be working from

16
00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:45.040
vision at that point. >> Okay. >> So >> any discussion on any of those? >> I'm not here. >> Okay. Uh okay. Okay, I'll make a motion to approve the 2027 preliminary residential commercial industrial real

00:05:29.440 --> 00:05:46.240
>> Second. All those in favor? >> I >> I Okay, that was pretty fast. >> It was I was going to say I think we have gone back to our, you know, 10 minute meetings. So, >> uh, it should be a quiet summer. There

20
00:05:46.240 --> 00:06:03.039
should be not much going on. Um, in terms of old business, like I said, we are we did get the live database on vision. We've been finding a few issues uh going back and forth with them. Every time we find a problem, they're working on it. We're continuing side by side

21
00:06:03.039 --> 00:06:20.880
review, which is very time consuming. Um looking at the um values on the LA4 right now. It looks like we are well within our variance um allowance for the um conversion differences. uh mostly

22
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:37.600
just the you know additional structures and um outuildings and things that are going to come in differently how they're calculated. Um but all the details seem to be coming over accurate. There's a handful that um our apartment buildings

23
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:52.240
are coming in as commercial on my LA4 that they've got to adjust. We're working on those things now. Um but overall we're just pushing away hoping that's going to go quickly. We'll get through that. And Vision has already

24
00:06:52.240 --> 00:07:09.199
stated that they are they've printed all our sales for 20 uh 2025. They're starting the review uh process of MLS. They're looking for differences, looking at what, you know, increased percentages are and they are ready to go with our

25
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:26.720
valuation and our uh certification. So soon as we're able to use the system, they're going to get in and start adjusting values and uh take a lot off my plate this year with them doing the the valuation and sales review. So soon as we can get on

26
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:42.720
the system, then our goal is get our new growth, get our uh building permits and our adjustments and our sales all into vision and um hopefully be ready to go by the end of summer using the new system. Yeah, that should make life

27
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:58.560
easier for you going down the road. Yeah, >> it it will definitely make things. It'll streamline processes. Just even in the little things like doing daily searches when I'm going through the old system and I have to go changing years. It kicks you back to the start of the

28
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:14.479
property. You have to go back to the tab you were looking at. Every time you go from property to property and year to year, it kicks you back to the start and you have to find the tab you were at. Whereas vision, if I'm going from property to property, it's keeping me on the same tab so I can look at the same tab. It's keeping me on the same year so

29
00:08:14.479 --> 00:08:29.440
I can look at the same year. So just streamlining searches and things like that is going to be >> um I can already see it's going to be a huge help. So >> excellent. That's great. Okay. Any uh

30
00:08:29.440 --> 00:08:48.160
any more old business, new business? You have anything anything to add, Bill? Uh, no, I don't have anything to add. I'm I'm kind of like, you know, taking it all in as uh >> as we're kind of plugging along here. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Quick meetings. See, quick meetings, but

31
00:08:48.160 --> 00:09:03.920
then you're trying to process it quickly, too. >> Right. And I think I let you guys know that I um um I did that uh module four. I got that uh I got that done. >> Yeah. So, I got notification that that was all set, that we met our criteria and our qualifications. So, we're good

32
00:09:03.920 --> 00:09:20.800
there. Um, how about uh I know there was another that the the soularching for another uh member of the board uh and I was kind of curious as to how that's coming along or you know do we do we uh uh should I you look to conscript one of

33
00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:38.080
our fine citizens who's you know longing for public service. Uh >> that's actually that's going to update you on that cuz we did put out an ad looking it's been on Facebook. They've been trying to drum up. >> Um I know that um we're waiting I think

34
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:55.200
Robert wants to talk next week. The he just wants to run through a few details to make sure that it will work. But right now the only interest I've received is um Amanda Lewis, the uh payroll and benefits coordinator. She is a town resident. She is part of the

35
00:09:55.200 --> 00:10:12.320
finance team. So, she, you know, is just trying to understand better what we're doing. And she said, "If you have no interest, I'm certainly willing to help at least for the year till we figure something else out." Um, so we will talk next week to see make sure that there is no um conflict there and that that will

36
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:28.720
work. We may have Amanda join us at least temporarily, but we have not received any outside interest from anybody in the the two weeks that it's been posted. >> Gotcha. Okay. Okay. >> So, if that doesn't work, I will uh email you guys next week and just say,

37
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:44.640
"Hey, you know, start drumming up anybody you can grab." >> I've been trying to think of people, but >> yeah, I mean, we we know that. I mean, I have tried to tell people it's it's not a huge time commitment. It's it takes a little bit to understand and it will

38
00:10:44.640 --> 00:11:00.959
take some time until the meetings make sense to you, but it's not a huge time commitment and I'm always willing to meet with anybody to give them updates, make that help them understand, go through questions before a meeting, you know, so if anybody wants to ask me

39
00:11:00.959 --> 00:11:16.079
questions before they commit to anything, I'm certainly willing. >> Perfect. And >> here's a kind of a screw ball question. Can you have more than three people on the board or is it capped at three? >> No, it's capped at three, I think, because that's a statutory. Yeah.

40
00:11:16.079 --> 00:11:31.360
>> All right. Good deal. >> Yeah. It's tough enough getting three, let alone four. >> You know, feast of famine, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. So, um, so yeah, I will next week when Robert's back, we'll sit and talk.

41
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:48.320
We'll look at just regulations just make sure if Amanda can join at least for the short term and we have until at least next election to get somebody else. It's still going to be a transition because anybody who gets elected in next May is only for a year just to finish out that

42
00:11:48.320 --> 00:12:04.959
uncompleted term that Mike was in. So even somebody next year is only going to be another one year. >> Gotcha. Okay. >> Okay. Uh, we should probably pick a date for the next meeting. What What day is good for you, Bill? Is it Tuesdays? You said,

43
00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:20.959
>> uh, you know, any day. >> It varies. >> Any day. You know, the only, like I said, the only thing that's kind of a uh when when the court if I have to go to court, it's usually at two. So, um, you know, I'm I'm looking at, uh, my

44
00:12:20.959 --> 00:12:35.760
calendar, you know, I could do, um, you know, August 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th, you anytime like 11 to 1, um, within that window if people have availability. Then,

45
00:12:35.760 --> 00:12:51.600
>> uh, yeah, want to go back a week, April, does that help you out with getting tabulations for July done or the month before? >> No, no, the fifth should be fine. I mean, if I if I close out the month on Friday and I get you everything Friday before the weekend, that should be fine.

46
00:12:51.600 --> 00:13:08.079
So, I mean, anytime that 3rd through the 6th works for me. >> Okay. Uh, doesn't make any difference to me either. So, >> why don't we go with the fourth then? >> Fourth. Okay. 11:00. Is that good? >> Sounds good. >> Okay. 11:00. >> Okay. >> Great.

47
00:13:08.079 --> 00:13:20.399
