     Technology for Data Re-Inspection Services.

5.  The Board signed partial classified land lien releases for parcel #124006000.

     The property has not been taxed as classified land for over six years and so the Town

     is not due any penalty taxes.

6.  The Board read an article on plans for the Rattlesnake Hill subdivision.

7.  The Board reviewed proposed changes to residential tables and schedules for fiscal

     year 2006.  They also examined the assessment sales ratio studies that these changes

     would result in.  The Board then gave their approval for the changes to residential

     tables and schedules for  fiscal year 2006.

8.  The Board voted to request authorization from the Commissioner of Revenue to issue

     preliminary tax bills in fiscal year 2006.  This vote does not obligate the Town to issue

     preliminary tax bills, it simply gives the Town the option of doing so.  If the Board

     had not taken this vote by August 15, 2005 we would have been prohibited from

     issuing preliminary tax bills for fiscal year 2006.

9.  The Board decided to hold their next Board meeting at 6:45 P.M. on Thursday, August

     25^th.
