Jay Walsh addressed the board. New state figures: residential equalized value for the township is currently down from 97% to 83%. Woodland valuation is down, from 100% to 79%. For 2007 assessments must be brought up to 100%. Jay proposed revaluation of the entire township, visiting each property in the township and assessing changes. He advises that this should be done every five to ten years. The last assessment was done in the early to mid-1990’s. Ken made a motion to have the township reassessed. Burdette seconded. Jay will begin now and give an update of revaluation status on the first meeting of each month.
