Council receives Assessor's 2022-23 annual report; Mayor congratulates assessor on perfect audit score
Summary
Council received and placed on file the City Assessor's 2022-2023 annual report after Mayor Sue Leeming congratulated Assessor Chris Coucke for earning a perfect score on the assessing audit.
The City Council received and placed on file the City Assessor's 2022-2023 annual report during its Jan. 8 meeting.
Mayor Sue Leeming publicly congratulated City Assessor Chris Coucke for earning a perfect score on the recent assessing audit. Following that recognition, Councilmember Whitman moved and Councilmember Ostrander seconded a motion to receive and place the Assessor's annual report on file; the motion carried by unanimous vote of the council members present.
Why it matters: The assessor's work underpins property valuations used for tax assessment and local budgeting. A favorable audit outcome signals compliance with state assessing standards and may affect public confidence in the city's valuation processes.
Procedural note: The minutes record the council's receipt of the report; the transcript does not record additional discussion or detailed technical findings from the audit beyond the statement of a perfect score.
