Certified Local Government (C.L.G.) Program Update: Mr.
VanGaale stated that the City Commission has given its
final approval. He is sending the approved applications
to the Department of State. Also, the City Commission
has agreed to go forward with the Ad Valorem Tax
Exemption for improvements to properties. The Ad Valorem
Tax Exemption is where someone would get a reduction or
an exemption on the City's portion of taxes that would
increase as a result of a new appraisal for improvements
of 25% of the assessed value of the structure.
Mr. Mills stated that before the Board goes forward with
the tax exemption, he would like to see a few example
calculations of what this really means. Mr. VanGaale
stated that he has some examples and will provide. He
stated that taxes increase, but not as much, about half
as much as it normally would.

Father Trout and that the Father had indicated that the

moved to have the item on the agenda for next month's

of interest and absences. Seconded by Ms. Kmett. Mr.
Mills feels that a personal phone call from the Chair to
let this Board member know would be appropriate. All in
favor. Motion carried.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 6:00 P.M.
