(June 26'80)
The City Council, City of Fairhope met in special session at
5:00 p.m., 387 Fairhope Avenue, City Administration Building, Fairhope,
Alabama 36532, on Thursday, 26 June 1980.
The purpose of this meeting was to talk with the Baldwin County
Board of Commissioners relative to a reappraisal project ordered by
the State of Alabama..
Present were Mayor James P. Nix; Councihnanbers C.O. McCawley,
Sam E. Box, Trisha N6-lson, and Jack A. Stipes; and City Clerk Evelyn
P. Phillips. Councilman David Ed Bishop could not be present.
Mr. Jeffrey H. Blood, Director of County Development, read to
the Council the directive from Alabama's Commissioner of Revenue Ralph
P. Eagerton, Jr., ordering a new appraisal project of all property located
within the County at its fair market value at 1 October 1980; said project
to begin 1 August 1980 and be completed not later than 30 September 1982.
Mr. Blood and Commissioner Jerry Boyington, stated they had asked
for this meeting with the Council in order to gain input from the
Council before reaching a decision between the following two alternate
courses of action:
1. Do the appraisal - approximate cost $500,000.00 for
the two year period.
2. Let the State do the appraisal - approximate cost uniaiawn.
It was brought out that the City of Fairhope alone had paid over $38,000.00
since 1974 for reappraisals. Also, if the County does the work, it still
must be certified by the State.... therefore, two years from now, State
might not certify and the cost krill have been for nothing.
Everyone agreed the main point was to have the job done right so
it would not keep costing money.
Counci]man McCawley mack the following motion: The Council recommends
to the County Commissioners that the State of Alabama do the appraisal work
if the Cor_ussioners agree the State should do it. Seconded by Councilwoman
Nelson, motion passed unanimously.
Meeting was duly adjourned.
