Conference Board Meeting Includes Budget Discussion

BOONE, Iowa---A special meeting of the Boone County Conference Board will give the Board a chance to discuss the items for the assessor's budget for the next fiscal year.  With the recent resignation of D. Kevin Burggraaf, work on the budget has not been completed.  Budget preparation could fall to County Auditor Phil Meier who would be acting as Temporary Assessor for the purposes of developing a budget.  A budget needs to be developed and published so that a public hearing can be held prior to the Conference Board adopting the budget.  The budget is expected to include the cost of a third party revaluation of commercial and industrial property in Boone County, ordered by the Iowa Department of Revenue.
