At the Monday night Evansville Finance Committee meeting, the committee discussed the RFP, or Request for Proposals, that had been submitted for assessment services for Evansville. The request had stipulated it must be from a firm that had Assessor II credentials.
In testimony from the current head of the Evanville Board of Review, the lowest bid was not realistic and in his experience would not have been best for the city. The next highest bid had the stipulation that at the end of the contract, the software that was used would be withdrawn, which would be a problem.
Mayor Decker explained that by obtaining an assessor with Assessor II credentials, she hoped that the concerns raised in the past two years regarding commercial assessments could be avoided in the future and also that there would be more commercial coming to Evansville, and it was important to have a qualified assessor for these properties. The current assessor is an assessor I.
