TAX APPEALS Councilman Nichols asked Mr. Jack Klitgaard several questions about property owned by Mr. Welty McCullough adjacent to the Covert Ranch. After a brief discussion, Councilman Nichols suggested that the McCullough property be appraised at $550 per acre, but no action was taken. Councilwoman Long asked Tax Assessor-Collector Klitgaard if all of the cases could be heard first and than a large map used to show all of the properties being considered. She felt that she would be able to judge them better of shown that way. Mr. Klitgaard felt that it was impractical to display section maps because of the space they would take up, but he did suggest using the land value maps together that showed the unit value on each piece of property and that it could be put up in a series of three or four maps. Mr. Klitgaard brought up the matter of the property owned by Louise Wilson Snider. At Mr. Klitgaard's suggestion, Councilman Nichols moved the Council cancel the assessment on Mrs. Snider's property completely for this year and put it on a 1968 supplemental roll next year at the time the Board of Equalization is in session.
