2. Contract with MCAT for funding a computer assisted mass appraisal system - Contract C2010-123

Dan Olsen, County Comptroller, handled this item. The State increased the property tax levy for the its portion of the Assessment & Collecting Tax last year to use the increase to pay Multicounty Appraisal Trust for the State-wide assessment computer system. It is desired to have one contract with one company to handle all the counties in the State. Because Weber County had moved ahead with the company in getting its own portion of that system up and running for this year, it is a bit ahead of the other counties, however, the county had understood that MCAT would be paying for our county’s portion but MCAT believed the county would be paying upfront, being reimbursed at the end. The county has now agreed to hold aside in its fund balance an amount equal to what it would send to MCAT, (which will go ahead and pay the bills for the county’s portion of the computer system) until the system is running and MCAT no longer needs the money. Commissioner Zogmaister noted that the county will be reimbursed, but not until after all the counties are onboard.
