Public Hearings NONE 7. Regular Agenda a. Resolution Regarding the Next General Reappraisal of Real Propert y The Board considered 2015 as the optimal year for the next general reappraisal of real property and to approve a resolution establishing the year for the next general reappraisal of real property in Orange County. Tax Administrator Jenks Crayton said that if there was a revaluation now the problem would be made worse. There has been a drop in sales. Foreclosures are running at twice the level of last year. Also, none of Orange County's neighbors are planning to do a revaluation before 2015, which is the Manager's recommendation. Chair Pelissier made reference to the packet of information from Joe Phelps. PUBLIC COMMENT: Joe Phelps said that he has been in real estate for 25 years and is a broker/owner of Phelps Realty. He had requested previously to make a presentation to the Board of County Commissioners about why the County needs to stay on schedule for the tax revaluation, but it was denied. He said that he did meet with the Tax Administrator and it was a good conversation, but he did not agree with him about everything, especially the COD. He referred to several discrepancies that he thought existed in Mr. Crayton's presentation. He went through his handout: "In the packet tonight on this subject there are some statements I think are very misleading. Orange County is not like many other counties in North Carolina. We don't have the high unemployment others have and we have many high paying jobs in the Triangle, so to compare Orange County to other not doing revaluation I think is misleading.
