ERROR IN ASSESSED VALUATION/MAYOR'S STATEMENT:
statement to the press, public and City Council regarding the error
made by the assessor in the assessed valuation of Carmel. (See
attached.) The statement outlined a way to remedy the problems
without cuts. A process through the State Board of Tax
Commissioners by which the City would declare an "emergency" would
allow the City to move money from fund to fund through their
operating balances and that should take care of the problem.
There being no further business before the City Council, the
meeting was adjourned.
