Waste Wood- Jill Duerst- Jill has no place to put brush and doesn’t want to burn it on her property.

The Board thought the assessor did a good job. The Duersts thought the values are too high in York since values in Madison have dropped. A board member stated that if values go down, the mill rate would go up. Also, the Duersts would like to know the history of homes sold, but the County was unable to help, and the Board does not have access to that.
Adjournment- Steve Hermanson move to adjourn the meeting, Dan Truttmann 2nd. Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 10:00 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Nancy Anderson, Clerk
