COMMUNICATIONS WITH AND REPORTS OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE  
Frank White, Jr., County Executive, was not present.  
Manuel Abarca IV, County Legislator, asked why the County Executive  
was not present. Caleb Clifford, Chief of Staff, explained that the County  
Executive’s mother-in-law passed away and he was with family preparing  
for funeral services.  
Mr. Abarca asked for an update on the budget. Troy Schulte, County  
Administrator, said Workday is live as of February 1, 2024. Departments  
are able to pay bills and submit transactions. Budget books will be  
available soon.  
Mr. Abarca asked about the status of implementation of SB190. Whitney  
Miller, Chief Deputy County Counselor, said her office received a draft of  
frequently asked questions and staff was reviewing those. The County  
Counselor's Office has created a draft application which is currently under  
review to make sure it is within the boundaries of the law. Caleb Clifford  
said the goal is to have an application finalized by the end of the month.  
They will come back to the Legislature with a presentation on that  
process. There will likely be an ordinance needed to enact the language  
to implement the process for SB190. They will likely request the deadline  
for applications be pushed to July 31st from April to supply Jackson  
County residents with additional time to apply and for the application to  
be processed. This is a difficult and complicated legal issue. The County  
Counselor is working with the department to get something on Jackson  
County's website.  
Mr. Abarca asked for an update on the appeal process. Mr. Schulte said  
as of today, there are 13,157 open appeals with 2,724 pending before the  
Board of Equalization. They have four and a half hearing officers working  
through 96 appeals a day. They hope to have the BOE restart hearings  
soon. Mr. Abarca said last year he requested a progress report regarding  
data on the accuracy of the reassessment as compared to the appeals.  
Mr. Schulte said he will try to have that report next week.  
Mr. Abarca asked about the Compliance Department staff update. To his  
knowledge, additional staff have not yet been hired. Caleb Clifford said  
the County Executive has approved the additional positions. He is  
working with the Chair of the Legislature to move those items through the  
Human Resources Department. Troy Schulte said they are completing  
the paperwork.  
DaRon McGee, County Legislator, asked for a follow-up on the Board of  
Equalization. He said all legislators received a letter from the Board. He  
asked the name of the new Chairman of the Board and asked how the  
Administration responded to the letter. Mr. Schulte said there is  
discussion planned for closed session originally scheduled for today but  
will be deferred until next week. He indicated that one of the existing  
board members will fill the vacancy of the Chair. Mr. Schulte said he  
disagrees with some of the assumptions in the letter. Mr. Abarca asked if  
there is legal counsel for the BOE. Mr. Schulte said Ronald Jurgeson, the  
legal counsel for the Board resigned effective at the end of February.  
They are working to hire his replacement.  
Sean E. Smith, County Legislator, asked about the SB190 and additional  
staff in the Collection Department for advocating for taxpayers. Mr.  
Schulte said those jobs have been posted and they are working on these  
issues. Applicants should apply through the HR Department.
