MID Special Board Meeting June 23,2017 Page 2

The staff recommendation is to approve the parcel changes in Exhibits A & B. If parcel changes are not approved, landowners would not be assessed at the correct rate. There is an increase of approximately $85,000 from 2017 to 2018 due to the 3% increase for the 9(d) assessments. AGM Nolan commended the Finance Department including Assistant Controller Furstenburg and Controller Swanson for their hard work. The District will not have to assess any parcels individually. All parcels have been transitioned to Madera County for processing with the property taxes. AGM Nolan noted the rate setting is completed by MID and the collecting is done by Madera County.
