[Summit] Notice on 311

[Jeffrey Cavanaugh]

I noticed it too, it's kind of strange. It almost sounds like we would need
to re-apply for the homestead exemption. But it's not the kind of notice
you generally send out to the general population if you want them to have a
clue what you are talking about. I would expect something in the mail for
such an official notification requirement. I would be interested to hear
what you learn.
