            5             MR. HORTON:  Ms. Richmond.  

            6             MS. RICHMOND:  Our next matter are Chief 

            7    Counsel Matters.  Item J, Rulemaking, we have 

            8    Section 100 Changes; Item J1, Property Tax Rules 

            9    284, Retention and Revocation of Appraiser 

           10    Certificate, and 1027, U.S. Forest Service Timber 

           11    Values -- excuse me -- Volumes.  

           12             MR. HORTON:  Mr. Heller, would you please 

           13    introduce the issues in this case.  

           14             MR. HELLER:  Yes, thank you.  

           15             Good evening, Chairman Horton and Members 

           16    of the Board.  I'm Bradley Heller with the Board's 

           17    Legal Department, and I'm here to request that the 

           18    Board vote to authorize staff to complete Rule 100 

           19    changes to update Property Tax Rule 284 so that it 

           20    refers to the Deputy Director of the Board's new 

           21    Property Tax Department and update Property Tax Rule 

           22    1027 so that it refers to the Timber Tax Section 

           23    instead of the Timber Tax Division.  

           24             MR. HORTON:  Members, these changes are 

           25    nonsubstantive in nature.  

           26             Is there a motion to adopt staff 

           27    recommendation?  

           28             MS. HARKEY:  So moved.  




                                                                     3
