Agenda Item #47 Item Title D-2 Appoint one Board member and one private citizen to serve a one-year term on the Value Adjustment Board for a one-year term beginning August 1, 2014 and ending July 31, 2015 Issue/Rationale Florida Statute 194.015 requires that the School Board of each county annually elect one person from its membership to serve a one-year term on the Value Adjustment Board. Additionally, the School Board must appoint a citizen member to the Value Adjustment Board, which citizen must own a business occupying commercial space located within the school district, may not be a member or employee of the School District, and may not be a person who represents property owners in any administrative or judicial review of property taxes. The VAB will meet in August or early September to choose special magistrates, reappoint counsel and certify the tax roll. It is anticipated that the VAB will meet again in January or February to review the special magistrate findings on the petitions. It is possible that the VAB will also be called upon to adjudicate disputes arising from the valuation of the portability assessments. Recommended Action Elect one Board Member to serve on the Value Adjustment Board and appoint one private citizen who meets the statutory qualifications to serve on the Value Adjustment Board.
