Appraiser warns downsizing would leave office unable to meet demands
Summary
Appraiser Kate Immenschuh told the Board that sending Zoning Administrator staff to assist with measurements would not substitute for full appraisal duties and warned that reducing her office would prevent her from keeping up with workload; commissioners discussed personnel-reduction options amid budget constraints.
Appraiser Kate Immenschuh told the Board that while staff Amanda and Carrie have training and understand appraisal codes, sending Zoning Administrator Steve Duryea to take photos and measurements starting in September would not substitute for the appraiser office’s full duties. Immenschuh said reducing staff would make it difficult for her office to keep up with work.
Commissioners discussed options including firing, reduction in force, and incentivized early retirement and said other departments such as Road and Bridge and the Sheriff’s Office were also being asked to reduce positions due to budget constraints. The Board emphasized the discussion was part of a larger budget-review process rather than targeted at any single office.
