Presentation: No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
As addressed at the Board's Retreat in January of this year, the Chair of the Board of Equalization and Review, Bruce Miller, has requested the Board's consideration of increasing the number of terms members of the BER can serve from two (2) terms to three (3) terms for a maximum of nine (9) years rather than six (6) years. Many of the current members terms will expire prior to or in 2019, increasing the number of terms one can serve will allow for continuity during the 2019 Revaluation. The Board is also being asked to consider increasing the size of the Board of Equalization and Review from 15 members to 20 members. Both considerations are being requested in light of the 2019 Revaluation.
