Nancy Yackee, Fulton County Auditor - Discuss Reappraisal
Contract |
Ms. Yackee expressed appreciation for the
opportunity to speak today. She presented copies of the contract
to the Board for their review. She stated that she as well as
her office treats the taxpayers of Fulton County equally and
will continue to do so. ORC section was reviewed that gives the
Auditor the authority to enter into this contract. Ms. Yackee
highlighted some of the points of the contract that make this
company different in the services that they provide. Means of
establishing valuation have changed somewhat.
A delay in this contract will push getting the reappraisal
completed and possibly costing the county more money. Ms. Yackee
seeks approval from the Commissioners but stressed she does not
need their approval.
Commissioner Barnaby asked about the difference in cost for
neighboring counties - she stated the contract was signed 3
years ago and different services are provided in these
contracts. Commissioner Barnaby asked how long the Auditor's
office has not been doing their own data entry. Ms. Yackee
thought perhaps 6 or 7 years. $365,000 was the cost of the last
reappraisal. Ms. Yackee said that she looks at all the services
they provide in making her choice to continue using them.
Commissioner Genter asked if June was the date the contract
started. Ms. Yackee said that she had it in March. An open-ended
contract for the digital photography had come back with a lower
dollar amount and Commissioner Genter asked how that could be.
Ms. Yackee said the copmany did that on their own. Commissioner
Genter also said that the Commissioners did not feel an
open-ended contract would be appropriate.
Commissioner Genter asked if Ms. Yackee had brought any
additional bids today. She said no she did not. Commissioner
Graf asked why she was here for their approval when she did not
need their approval. Commissioner Genter stressed that the
Commissioners' stance is that they feel it best to bid a
contract that is this large. Ms. Yackee said that she knows what
is best and just wants to be open with the Commissioners.
Commissioner Genter stated that especially in these financial
times, seeking quotes would have been for the betterment of the
county. Ms. Yackee said that she understands tough times but she
does not think this contract is out of line. Commissioner Genter
said he does not understand allegiance to one company because a
smart businessman would check alternate prices.
Ms. Yackee said that if the digital photgraphy was a problem,
she would not do that contract. Commissioner Genter said the
open-ended contract did not smell right. Commissioner Genter
said she is wasting their time.
Ms. Yackee said thank you and left the meeting. |
