We real!ze this is not the case for all properties as we have already fielded numerous calls <br />in the past twoidays regarding significant value increases.

Upon receipt, this information will be included in the packets <br />that will be prepared and distributed at the public hearing. <br /> <br />Enclosed with ~our agenda packet - under separate cover - is a bound copy of the Proposed <br />General Fund ~udget for Fiscal 1997.
