Kim Helmick re: Time Zone Road – concerned the new 911 addressing is going to give him some property easement problems. Time Zone Road goes up to his property – then it is private and then there is another road out the other side. Both roads are named Time Zone Road – is concerned that people will think they can use the private drive. Requesting two road different names so it will save on confusion. Commissioners stated they want Mr. Helmick to talk with his neighbors and see if they can come up with a different name for the lower road.

Pleasant Valley Housing – Diane via phone – rental property is a rent subsidized rental property – rent is based on the property expenses and divided up between tenants.
Canyon Pines, Jeff Dean, – he has sold some stock in the resort and it was for way less. Max has never seen anything in writing – Dean has several properties, but now they have explained about the timber part of it, so he is withdrawing those and just concerned about the resort and the property his house sits on.
Toby Potter – thinks his property should be assessed on the appraisal price. After reviewing the assessment – commissioners and Toby noticed that his taxes actually went up very little – the reason the increase of taxes was due to the school split.
Paul Shepherd – his assessment is 10 times the amount in five years – appraisers explained process
Charles Shepherd – he basically got his question answered with his dad before but he wanted to know if everybody’s went up the same and Max assured him they had. He thought he knew of someone’s who didn’t – Max will check into this.
West One Bank – U S Bank – only real comparison is the new Potlatch Credit Union building and it is appraised at twice the amount.
