REVALUATION REPORT - MONTH OF FEBRUARY 1984: Brent Weisner, project manager
for the Ferris Company, was present to discuss the February revaluation report. He
said they had finished all hearings in all townships with the exception of
statesville and Mooresville. Twenty-five hundred notices will be sent out later
this week giving adjustments from the hearings. They have 1,000 more to go out the
following week.
Commissioner Campbell inquired how many people had appealed to the board of
equalization and review, and Mr. Weisner said they have 2500 people that affect 1800
parcels. Two thousand people have applied for farm use, and they received 25 appli-
cations during the extension period this past week.
Chairman Troutman asked if anyone present wished to discuss the revaluation pro-
cess with the board or with Mr. Weisner, and no one responded, Mr. Troutman
explained the process to those present at the meeting.
After this discussion, the chiarman adjusted the agenda to hear the matter of
beer and wine sales since there were several people present regarding this matter.

the board would take the request from those present under advisement and it would
