Board changes building valuations after hearings; notable split votes in Fox and Myers cases

The Custer County Board of Equalization approved a series of building-value adjustments following individual taxpayer hearings. In Broken Bow Township, the board voted to change the building value on Barry Fox's parcel to $1,116,256; the motion by James Markham, seconded by Tammy Kleeb, passed with ayes from Lynn Longmore, Sara Parliament, James Markham and Tammy Kleeb and nayes from Anne Gibbons and Clay Govier.

Several substantial adjustments were made in hearings for property owner Christopher Myers, who appeared represented by attorney Chris Wickham. Motions to change building valuations on multiple parcels (identified in the minutes as 27A–27D and associated commercial lots) passed on motions by James Markham and seconded by Lynn Longmore; the minutes record Anne Gibbons voting nay on several of those motions. Where owners or representatives were present, the board recorded presence or absence and placed the motions on the record with roll-call votes.
