$450,000. It is a two-year process in advance of the effective date. He will be doing
start up work on the revaluation. Ms. Bryan said this is an opportunity to get ahead
of the game and the research has been done fairly and adequately. Chairman

done by someone who knows what they are doing. Commissioner James said
Glenn Cutrell told him that this man would not help with revaluation at this point and

said he would vote for hiring the man but he did not want the public to believe he did
not know what the reason was behind hiring him back.
