Statement of Facts

On April 17, 1997, Adele Smith, representing Petitioners, and PETITIONER, representing the Property Tax Division, met with Commissioner Alice Shearer to ascertain if the information listed on the valuation notice is accurate. PETITIONER had done research in the County Property Records in Millard County as well as in centrally assessed mining records of the Property Tax Division. PETITIONER presented XXXXX with a packet of documents he had compiled from his research. XXXXX, Millard County Recorder, joined the conference by telephone and verified the records that were in their office now comport as best she can ascertain to those that are in the packet that XXXXX presented. XXXXX appreciated the work that has been done and is pleased and was assured that the Property Tax Division will change its records to comport with the corrected records. The deed that she had inherited is now not accurate as there were disputed properties that are not included in the claim that was recorded by the deed. The disputed acreage has now been removed from the valuation notice and an explanation has been put on the Property Tax Division records so that the valuation notice sent for 1997 should be the accurate one. This case has now been researched to the extent that records are available. XXXXX has a copy of all the relevant records and is now satisfied that the Property Tax Division is assessing a value only upon the property to which the Petitioners might actually lay claim. Therefore, she has agreed that this case should be closed and it is so ordered.

DATED this 1 day of MAY, 1997.
