Archive of Minutes and Agendas (Through 2000)
Under the California Constitution and applicable statutes, hearings of the Assessment Appeals Board are judicial 
      proceedings.  The decisions of Assessment Appeals Boards must be based exclusively on properly admitted 
      evidence.  Assessment Appeals Boards may not base any factual determinations necessary for their decisions on 
      anything other than the aforementioned evidence.  Information presented through public comment, unless property 
      admitted into evidence in compliance with the Revenue and Taxation code and the Property Tax Rules of the State 
      Board of Equalization, is not evidence upon which Assessment Appeals Boards may base findings.
      The Assessment Appeals Board Agenda packet and documents are available for review in Room 405 at City Hall. 
      Each item on the Agenda may include the following documents: (1) An Application for Changed Assessment (2) 
      Comparable Sale Information (3) Department or Agency Correspondence (4) Public Correspondence.
      Public comment will be taken for items on the agenda, as well as items not on the agenda but under the jurisdiction 
      of the Board. Each member of the public will be allotted the same number of minutes to speak to the Board. The 
      Board may limit the total testimony to 30 minutes.
