The Auditor’s office needs to know how to handle the billing of mobile home courts. There was discussion on the method of currently billing mobile home courts, apartment buildings, motels, and nursing homes. There was also discussion about changing the term “user fee” to “assessment”, to help alleviate confusion over empty lots and apartments. The committee formed at the last meeting will present recommendations about billing multiple dwelling units at the next meeting. At the present time, it is the desire of the board for the Auditor’s office to keep the billing of mobile home courts as it is, with the number of lots assessed being the number of lots billed.

Presented the contract for Beautification Days. John contacted APEX, Wabash Valley, and Waste Management. The only response received was from APEX.
