Committee backs temporary reclassification of assessor staff to appraiser 2

The assessor reported that an employee has been performing appraiser 2 duties for roughly nine months and asked the committee to approve reclassification from Appraiser 1 to Appraiser 2 for the remainder of the fiscal year. Dennis (Assessor) said the short-term cost for the remainder of this fiscal year would be modest: he estimated roughly $816 for wages and benefits over the next four months and a roughly $6,000 increase in the next year's budget if fully budgeted as a 2.
