15645
. (a) Upon completion of a survey of the procedures and
practices of a county assessor, the board shall prepare a written
survey report setting forth its findings and recommendations and
transmit a copy to the assessor. In addition the board may file with
the assessor a confidential report containing matters relating to
personnel. Before preparing its written survey report, the board
shall do both of the following:
(1) Meet with the assessor to discuss and confer on those matters
which may be included in the written survey report.
(2) Notify the former assessor if the survey reviews the former
assessor's procedures and practices, and meet with the former
assessor, upon his or her request, to discuss and confer on those
matters that may be included in the survey report.
(b) Within 30 days after receiving a copy of the survey report,
the assessor may file with the board a written response to the
findings and recommendations in the survey report.
The board may, for good cause, extend the period for filing the
response.
(c) (1) The survey report, together with the assessor's response,
if any, and the board's comments, if any, shall constitute the final
survey report. An addendum to the final survey report shall be
published to include a former assessor's written response to the
findings and recommendations in the survey report that reviewed the
former assessor's procedures and practices, if any, and the board's
comments, if any. The final survey report shall be issued by the
board as follows:
(A) For any survey commenced before July 1, 2016, within two years
after the date the board began the survey.
(B) For any survey commenced on or after July 1, 2016, to June 30,
2017, within 15 months after the date the board began the survey.
(C) For any survey commenced on or after July 1, 2017, within 12
months after the date the board began the survey.
(2) Within a year after receiving a copy of the final survey
report, and annually thereafter, no later than the date on which the
initial report was issued by the board and until all issues are
resolved, the assessor shall file with the board of supervisors a
report, indicating the manner in which the assessor has implemented
or intends to implement, or the reasons for not implementing, the
recommendations of the survey report, with copies of that response
being sent to the Governor, the Attorney General, the State Board of
Equalization, the Senate and Assembly, and to the grand juries and
assessment appeals boards of the counties to which they relate.
