Good morning, everyone.

We'll go ahead and get started with the last meeting of the 2025 value adjustment board.

We'll go ahead and start off with introductions to my left, please.

Good.

I guess it's still morning.

Dominic Commons, School Board appointed citizen member.

Good morning, everyone.

My name is Charlotte Joyce, and I am the school board member.

Will Lane, City Council District Three, and VAB Chair.

The one right there.

There you go.

Good morning.

My name is Shirley Dasher, and I'm the council appointed citizen member.

Good morning, Heather Pellegrin.

VAB Chief.

Jason Teal, VAB Clerk.

Good morning, Aaron Thalitzer, VAB legal counsel.

All right.

Good morning and good morning to our property appraiser staff as well.

Thank you for joining us this morning.

Pretty light agenda.

And then if we have anything else we need to uh wrap up for the VAB year, we can do that at the end.

First order of business is the approval of the April 16th, 2026 minutes.

If I could get a motion to approve that.

I got a motion of second to approve the April 16th, 2026 meeting minutes.

All those that approved say aye.

Aye.

Any posts say nay by our actions.

We've approved the April 16, 2026 meeting minutes.

Pellegrin, do we have any public comments today?

I do not believe so.

Okay, thank you.

And for items three and four, uh, I do not believe we have any deferral requests from either petitioners or the property appraiser's office.

Is that correct?

I see head nods from our VAB staff as well as the property appraiser staff.

So I think we can go straight to item five.

Uh so item five, we're gonna be taking up the 38 own well petitions uh that were uh passed out and emailed to us ahead of time as well.

Um Ms.

Thoughts, would you mind just giving us the quick uh summary and reminder of uh the action we took at last meeting and what we're doing today by uh approving these?

Sure, yeah.

At the last meeting, the petitions were uh, well, the deferrals were granted, the deferral request, and I worked with the clerk and the magistrate to revise the recommendations, and that's what's before the board today.

Thank you.

And I believe the motion will be to approve the is it to approve the amended recommended decisions.

Would that work?

That's correct.

Okay, so could I get a motion to approve the amended recommended decisions of the 38 own well petitions that were handed out to us?

Okay, I got a motion of second to approve the 38 own well petitions.

All in favor say aye.

Aye.

Any posts say nay.

By our actions, we have approved the amended recommended decisions of the 38 own well petitions that were before us.

Uh item six, these were the last ones uh to approve, and this was the uh the longer handout.

I did want to point out that we were emailed out a list that had I believe uh 141, but the list now is 142.

If you look, the second item there uh has a note that it was amended.

So this one was added on.

I just want to make sure everyone's clear on that, especially if anyone's watching this.

That even though what was sent out ahead of time had 141 recommended decisions, we have 142 now.

Uh Mr.

Thalwitzer, I believe you uh were kept in the loop on that one as well.

Uh so if there are if there is not any discussion, the motion I'll be looking for is to approve the special match rate recommended decisions of the 142 before us.

Okay.

I have a motion and a second to approve the 142 recommended decisions.

All in favor say aye.

Aye.

Any opposed say nay by our actions.

We have approved the 142 recommended decisions before us today.

Uh so that is it.

And with that, uh, we knew this would be a short meeting uh because uh this is uh the last meeting.

Usually the last one is one of the shorter ones in my three years of experience now.

Uh committee members, thank you for your time.

Uh I appreciate it.

Mr.

Thogser, thank you.

Uh hopefully you've gotten to uh pick some great restaurants on I 95 between Coco Beach and uh Jacksonville.

You've probably spent more time at that restaurant maybe than uh than up here with us.

So we appreciate your uh great lever of customer service.

I know if anyone of us had a question outside of meetings, we could call you, and uh we got a same-day response and clarification from you.

So certainly appreciate your uh your being our VAB attorney for the second year here.

Thank you.

It's it's a pleasure.

I've been to Bucky's quite a bit.

Buckies.

I guess I can't say anything for or against Bucky's up here.

Anyway, so I'll let it pass.

Uh anything else from either our VAB staff uh Mr.

Teal, go ahead.

Mr.

Chair, I wanted to remind you that uh you are responsible for issuing the 2025 VAB awards.

So before you adjourn the meeting, make sure you go ahead and do that.

Well, that's a new one.

Thank you.

Uh again, you keep on expanding your powers of VAB clerk, not just about not just with the VAB, but among other areas of uh really taking the council secretary uh job scope.

Uh everyone gets a VAB reward.

We'll do that for the VAB.

Everyone gets an award.

We're uh kind of like some of my kids' uh sports teams.

So uh, but again, thank you, property appraiser office staff as well for working closely with us and uh uh Heather, you get the uh the best VAB chief award.

And best VAB attorney goes to Aaron.

So that leaves Mr.

Teal with nothing.

So with that, if there is nothing else from the board, we will adjourn.

Thank you, everyone.
