Mr. Bohjanen asked if Mr. Johnson were full time, would it still take two years to bring the entire City to proper valuation? Mr. Johnson said yes. Mr. Reinert asked how this could be made a full time position this year when the budget is already set. Mr. Schumacher explained the budget would have to be amended. Mr. Reinert said that something has been started now and should be completed as soon as possible so everyone is treated equally and fairly. He asked Mr. Johnson if he could complete the re- evaluation in two years if he were full time. Mr. Johnson said yes and he also said this needs a full time assessor and he would like the position.
