Value Adjustment Board ratifies Holly Cosby as legal counsel and names her designee

The Citrus County Value Adjustment Board voted to ratify Holly Cosby as the board’s private legal counsel for the 2026 season and appointed her as the board’s designee for certain petition procedures.

“Holly Cosby for Value Adjustment Board. I will advise for the record that I have reviewed the affidavit of publication. I find it sufficient to proceed,” Cosby told the board while confirming quorum and legal notice. The board moved and approved the ratification by voice vote and later approved a separate motion to appoint Cosby as designee with authority to determine written good-cause requests for late petitions and to consider rescheduling hearings under Florida Administrative Code 12D-9.

Cosby outlined the scope of the designee role: requesting additional documentation, evaluating whether petitioners demonstrated good cause in writing, and making determinations about rescheduling. She advised the board that she would handle those duties and report back at the final meeting on outstanding administrative items.

The transcript contains an inconsistent spelling of Cosby’s surname in one segment (recorded there as “Koski”); the board record and multiple segments identify her as Holly Cosby. The clerk is expected to confirm the official spelling in the final administrative packet.
