PUBLIC COMMENT Mr. Steen asked for public comment and hearing none, moved on to the regular agenda items. 7. FARGO TAX INCREMENT FINANCING FOR GREAT PLAINS BLOCK 3 HOLDINGS, LLC, County to not participate in TIF and continue negotiating The City of Fargo’s Director of Strategic Planning and Research, Jim Gilmour, forwarded information to the Cass County Commission regarding a request for a $1.4 million Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for up to a fifteen-year period to assist with the redevelopment of a site at 419 4th Street North and 225 4th Avenue North. Mr. Gilmour was present and said the project is to construct a 100 plus unit apartment building with parking on the main level. He said the property consists of two lots, one owned by a developer and managed by the Kilbourne Group and the other owned by the City of Fargo. He said the Fargo Commission approved the TIF and developer agreement. Mr. Gilmour said as part of the developer’s agreement the applicant is requesting various tax incentives including a 5-year renaissance zone. He said the estimated TIF costs are $1.4 million which includes $350,000 in public improvements and $1.05 million for demolition and site cleanup. Mr. Peterson said the Commission received confidential financial information from the Kilbourne Group for the project earlier today. He said he would like more time for the Commission to review this information. Mr. Gilmour said the City of Fargo’s financial advisor has reviewed all the financial information and provided a report that was included in the Commission’s agenda packet. He said the report concluded that the TIF is needed to complete the project. Mr. Peterson said his main concern with the financials supplied, is the high architectural and developer fees. Mr. Steen said when the last application for a TIF was presented to the County Commission in April, the Commission had issues on the public improvement aspect of the TIF. He said these issues are still not resolved and he would like more time to look at the current application. Mr. Breitling said he reviewed the project financing statement and language “following stabilization of the project, the developer will add an additional $4 million plus to the financing in order to repay equity investments, the new annual loan payment would be a million to a million and a half”, he asked for clarification on what this means. Keith Leir, Vice President of Development and Construction for Kilbourne Group was present and said this happens upon stabilization of the project in approximately five years. He said when the construction is complete and the apartment building is available for rent, the building is projected to have a 20% occupancy rate with a graduated increasing occupancy scale up to year two where the occupancy rate is projected to be 95% and at that time would be considered a stabilized rate. Mr. Steen said he is trying to understand the equity piece of the project. He said once the project establishes debt service coverage of greater than 1.25, the developer will begin paying back equity. He said the equity is part of the use of the TIF and the equity comes out of the project upon stabilization. Mr. Lier said yes, a portion of the equity comes out of the project at the point of stabilization. Mr. Gilmour said initially the project investors have approximately $10 million in equity in the project and $19 million in financing, and once the stabilization occurs, the debt would be refinanced. MOTION, passed Mr. Breitling moved and Mr. Peterson seconded to not participate in the request for a Tax Increment Finance (TIF) District in the City of Fargo submitted by Great Plains Block 3 Holdings, LLC to assist with the redevelopment of a property located at 419 4th Street North and 225 4th Avenue North for up to a fifteen-year period and to negotiate the terms of the property tax incentive as described in N.D.C.C Chapter 40-05-24. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 8. TAX EQUALIZATION BOARD, Reconvened and adjourned for 2022 Chairman Rick Steen reconvened the 2022 Cass County Board of Tax Equalization. County Director of Equalization, Paul Fracassi provided recommendations to the Board prior to the meeting on appeals submitted at the last meeting for properties in the City of Fargo, West Fargo, and Casselton. The Board considered appeals in each jurisdiction as follows: City of Fargo Amazon An appeal was submitted by James Poliyanskiy on behalf of Amazon for a property located at 3737 44th Avenue North in Fargo. The 2022 value was set at $123,627,000. The City of Fargo has recommended the value be adjusted to $119,401,800 after an on-site review of the property was completed. Mr. Fracassi said the basis of Amazon’s appeal is on two differences of opinion, one on the construction quality and the other on if the mezzanine level is considered real or personal property. He said the construction quality assigned by the City of Fargo as above average is appropriate for properties of this nature and is supported by similar Amazon facilities he reviewed. He said the difference of personal versus real property is unique and Mr. Fracassi reached out to the State of North Dakota to get their guidance. He said the State is evaluating case-law and previous board of equalization proceedings, however, did not have an answer prior to the meeting today. Mr. Fracassi said his recommendation is to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year. He said when the State’s guidance is received, he will provide the information to the City of Fargo and Amazon. Mr. Peterson asked if this appeal can still be made to the State after the County Boards determination today. Mr. Fracassi said yes, the applicant can appeal their value further to the State Board of Equalization. MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved and Mrs. Scherling seconded to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year for Amazon at $119,401,800. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Four Points by Sheraton An appeal was submitted by Pivotal Tax Solutions on behalf of HAJ Hospitality for a property located at 5064 23rd Avenue South in Fargo, the Four Points by Sheraton hotel. The 2022 value was set at $6,134,500. The applicants requested value is $3,272,000. Mr. Fracassi said the applicant supplied an income approach and used data from 2021 as a metric and gave no consideration to the cost or sales comparison approach. He said the City of Fargo provided comparable sales and an assessment summary of competing properties to show uniformity. Mr. Fracassi said his recommendation is to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year. MOTION, passed Mr. Kapitan moved and Mrs. Scherling seconded to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year for Four Points by Sheraton at $6,134,500. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Jeffery Eisert An appeal was submitted by Jeffrey Eisert for a property located at 3043 18th Street South and 3045 18th Street South in Fargo. The 2022 value was set at $238,200. Mr. Fracassi said the applicant did not submit any appeal information, however, he spoke with the applicant and discussed recent sales of similar properties in the area. He said he agrees with the sales comparison approach provided from the City of Fargo and recommends retaining the current value for the 2022 taxable year. MOTION, passed Mr. Breitling moved and Mr. Kapitan seconded to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year for Jeffrey Eisert at $238,200. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Gary Anderson An appeal was submitted by Gary Anderson for a property located at 918 11th Avenue North in Fargo. The 2022 value was set at $175,500. Mr. Fracassi said he and a representative from the City of Fargo’s Assessor’s office visited the property after the last meeting and found the property has excessive differed maintenance relative to similar properties. He said based on this review, the condition of the home was adjusted down and decreased the value to $127,200. Mr. Fracassi said his recommendation is to reduce the 2022 value to $127,200. MOTION, passed Mr. Kapitan moved and Mrs. Scherling seconded to reduce the 2022 taxable year value for the property located at 918 11th Avenue North in Fargo to $127,200. Discussion: Mr. Peterson asked if the property is safe to live in. Mr. Fracassi said the issues observed related to structural cracks and he believes the property is habitable. Mr. Kapitan asked for an example of the excessive deferred maintenance. City of Fargo Deputy Assessor, James Haley was present and said he observed cracking of the foundation, the plaster on the wall needs replacement, the property owner said the wiring in the home needs attention, and the exterior siding and roof need replacement. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. City of West Fargo Tevye, LLC An appeal was submitted by Vogel Law Firm on behalf of Tevye, LLC for a property located at 4980 Sheyenne Street in West Fargo. The 2022 value was set at $6,209,100. Mr. Fracassi said the City of West Fargo has recommended the value be adjusted to $6,196,600. The applicants requested value is $3,470,000. Attorney Tami Norgard from Vogel Law Firm representing Tevye, LLC was present and said a local, reputable appraiser completed an appraisal of the property and their conclusion of value was $3,470,000. She said the City of West Fargo’s value of $6.2 million is unreasonable, arbitrary, and the process of valuation is inconsistent to appraise property. Ms. Norgard said the City of West Fargo is emphasizing the cost to build the home and the cost to build a home does not create a market and it is the job of the Board to determine if the assessed value is market value. She said the definition of market value as determined by North Dakota law is what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller if the property was on the open market. Ms. Norgard said the appraiser hired by Tevye, LLC looked at all the sales in West Fargo and Fargo over the past few years that were sold over one million dollars and were arm’s length transactions; and there were two in West Fargo and three in Fargo. She asked how a fair market value can be established of $6.2 million based on these sales. She said the building permit for the property was issued for $4 million and when building a high value home, the property owner knows they will invest more in the home than they may get out, as a willing buyer may not pay for the high quality and specialized amenities wanted by the original owners. Ms. Norgard said the flaw in the City of West Fargo’s value is that they used sales from custom builders to their client, the buyer, the sales were not arm’s length sales. She said there are few buyers in this market and often homes are on the market for an extended period. She said the comparable sales provided by the City of West Fargo were highly adjusted and therefore not comparable. Ms. Norgard said the concept of economic depreciation was analyzed by the appraiser and determined an economic depreciation and she said the City of West Fargo did not consider economic depreciation in their assessed value. She said this property has a large swimming pool and sports court and potential buyers in this market may not want the responsibility of taking on the maintenance of a pool and sports court and these amenities do not add a large amount of value to the property. Invertase, LLC An appeal was submitted by Vogel Law Firm on behalf of Invertase, LLC for four properties located at 5146 Sheyenne Street, 320 52nd Avenue West, 5102 Sheyenne Street and Parcel 02-3000-01283-010 in Fargo. The 2022 combined value of the four properties was set at $3,025,000. Attorney Tami Norgard from Vogel Law Firm representing Invertase, LLC was present and said the subject property is located south of the Tevye, LLC property and all four properties were purchased in 2021 and before the purchase were valued at $1.2 million and after the purchase are valued at $3 million. She said there was no change in use and the same homeowners are still living in the homes. She said these properties were not on the market, they were sought out and purchased by Invertase, LLC directly. She said the sale is not an arm’s length transaction and does not determine market value. Ms. Norgard said the City of West Fargo told the property owners the change in value was due to developers purchasing land in the area and she said the City of West Fargo is pushing people out and creating a new market. Mr. Kapitan asked if the properties were assessed as residential or agricultural. Ms. Norgard said part was agricultural and part was residential. She said the use of the land has not changed. Mr. Fracassi said the zoning of the area is residential. County Analysis of Tevye, LLC and Invertase, LLC Mr. Fracassi said he conducted a detailed analysis of the Tevye, LLC property and reviewed the submitted appraisal. He said in the appraisal, four comparable sales were presented and comparable sales one and four were the same sale. He said this comparable was not an arm’s length transaction and no consideration of value was given as there was no price on the quick claim deed. He said he is unsure of where the appraiser came up with the sale price, however, the value the City of West Fargo has on this property is the same sales value that was used. Mr. Fracassi said the second comparable sale used has a discrepancy of square footage of over 3,300 feet. He said the third comparable sale was a sale from a custom builder to a buyer, which is not an arm’s length sale and, in his opinion, should not be used as comparable in the appraisal. Mr. Fracassi said all the comparable sales used in the appraisal are dismissible and therefore the appraisal is compromised and does not support a value adjustment. He said he is not saying the City of West Fargo is 100% accurate in their appraisal as the system used relies on replacement cost and the actual replacement cost of the Tevye property is not known as the applicant has not given their building cost. He said the beginning replacement cost is important to begin the basis of the assessed value and the building cost is important to determine this and then determine the obsolescence. Mr. Fracassi said his recommendation is to retain the current value for the taxable 2022 year. Mrs. Scherling asked if the City of West Fargo uses replacement cost on new construction properties to determine value. City of West Fargo Assessor, Nick Lee was present and said West Fargo starts with a replacement cost and then determines appropriate adjustments based on age, location, condition, and other factors. Mrs. Schering asked if factors such as a swimming pool are considered. She said she believes a swimming pool is a negative factor as she would not want a pool in her home. Mr. Lee said adjustments are made for all factors and he said this property is different as it is a large, multimillion dollar house with many features, not a $300,000 home with many comparable sales in the area. Mr. Steen said a major issue in this appeal is the appraisal’s comparable sales are not comparable. He asked Ms. Norgard if she disagrees with the comparable analysis given by Mr. Fracassi. Ms. Norgard said she sees the comparable sales are overvalued just as the Tevye property is. She said the City of West Fargo uses a mass appraisal system and this system does not work for high value homes. Mr. Steen said the appraisal submitted uses comparable that are not comparable and therefore the Board cannot support the requested value based on the appraisal. Mr. Peterson asked if the home was paid for in cash. Ms. Norgard said she did not know the answer. Mr. Peterson said if the home was financed, an appraisal would have been completed on the land and home. Ms. Norgard said she does not have knowledge that another appraisal was completed. Mr. Fracassi said a mortgage for the property was not found. Mr. Peterson asked if the owners would take a $3.47 million check for the property today. Ms. Norgard said she does not know what her client would accept. She said if a buyer came today and offered to purchase the property, the sale would not be market value as the property is not for sale on the open market. Gerald Bock from GEB Appraisals was present and said he completed the Tevye appraisal as a joint venture with William Triebwasser. He said the completed appraisal focused on comparable sales in West Fargo and only one sale was a legitimate sale. He said the one sale was on the market for a long time and did not have many of the amenities the Tevye home has but at the time was the premiere home in West Fargo. He said he believes the 3,300-foot discrepancy is between the total living area and above grade area. Mr. Bock said he completed a subsequent analysis that included properties sold in the City of Fargo and said the Board should consider this analysis. Mr. Steen said the Board has heard arguments on both sides and needs to make a decision. He said he believes the Board must agree with the applicant’s value based on the appraisal, or with the City of West Fargo’s set value based on their assessment. He said the Board should not pick a value without a basis or reason. He said if the applicant wants to come up with additional information to support a value, Mr. Fracassi has until the end of June to get the values to the State and the County Board would be open to hearing any additional information. MOTION, passed Mr. Steen moved and Mr. Breitling seconded to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year for Tevye, LLC at $6,196,600; and for Invertase, LLC at $3,025,000 with the understanding the County Director of Tax Equalization will review any additional information provided by the applicants and report his findings to the Board. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Schatz An appeal was submitted by Vogel Law Firm on behalf of Deanne Schatz for a property located at 4812 Sheyenne Street in West Fargo. The 2022 value was set at $2,673,200. The applicants requested value is $2,100,000. Attorney Tami Norgard from Vogel Law Firm was present and said this property is North of the Tevye property and the property is approximately eight acres with a newly constructed home. She said the property was purchased with an older home on it and the owners tore down the old home and built a new home in 2021. She said the 2021 value was $1.99 million and for 2022 the value was increased to $2,673,200. She said like the Tevye property, this is a high value property with a limited market and few buyers that can afford and finance this property. She said the property owner was concerned with the $680,000 increase and called the City of West Fargo and their response was that a developer bought land in the area which is driving up land values. Ms. Norgard said this is not an appropriate basis for increasing assessment value and is not supportable. She said the comparable sales supplied by the City of West Fargo were not comparable. She said the appraisal submitted supports the $2.1 million the applicant is requesting. Mr. Fracassi said the there was an appraisal submitted that was used for lending purposes from March of 2021. He said the appraisal being completed in March does not capture the full year of 2021 from January 1 to December 31. He said after this appraisal was completed in March of 2021, five properties were sold as arm’s length transactions over $1.4 million. He said in his opinion, if the appraisal would have considered and included these sales, the current value would have been better supported. He said the City of West Fargo used these sales comparisons and the sales comparisons have to be adjusted up as this property has much more land compared to the other properties. Mr. Fracassi said he recommends retaining the current value for taxable year 2022. Mr. Lee said the City of West Fargo completed a total land analysis and this analysis led to a change in land values for this area. He said 8 acres of land in this area is valuable and has to be adjusted appropriately when compared to other properties. MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved and Mrs. Scherling seconded to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year for Schatz at $2,100.000. Discussion: Mr. Steen asked if the main increase on the property value was on the land. Mr. Lee said yes, the main increase was on the land value. He said the City cannot change one value in an area, they must do an entire area at a time. He said West Fargo completes a land analysis every five years, and in cases where there are multiple sales or development within the five years an additional analysis is completed. Ms. Norgard said land assessment is an internal calculation, not a value that a willing buyer would buy the property from a willing seller. She said this does not make sense on this property and does not justify the increase. Mr. Lee said the land value last year was around $200,000 for nearly 8 acres of land purchased for $1.2 million which indicated the value was undervalued, therefore a land analysis was needed to appropriately assess the land value in this area. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. PetSmart An appeal was submitted by Pivotal Tax Solutions on behalf of Hull Family Partnership, LLC for a property located at 1630 East 13th Street South in West Fargo. The 2022 value was set at $3,037,600. The applicants requested value is $2,620,172. Mr. Fracassi said the applicant submitted a cost approach and did not provide any sales comparison. He said he recommends the current 2022 value be retained. MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved and Mr. Kapitan seconded to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year for PetSmart at $3,037,600. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. City of Casselton Lowell Gunderson-Commercial Properties An appeal was submitted by Lowell Gunderson for properties located at 1507 19th Avenue North, 3431 14th Avenue South, 1423 35th Street South, and 705 23rd Avenue East in Casselton. The current total value of all four properties is $3,279,600. The applicants requested value is $2,530,000. Mr. Fracassi said the properties consist of two hotels, a recreational vehicle (RV) park, and a laundromat. He said upon review of the area, the County assessor’s office found 20 unpermitted RV pads were added to the RV park between 2018 and 2020, which resulted in an increased value for 2022. He said the owner provided their income and expenses for 2020 and 2021, however, all the businesses were combined in the report and it was difficult to separate the revenue and expenses of each entity to determine the individual value of each property. Mr. Fracassi said he recommends retaining the current value for taxable year 2022. MOTION, passed Mr. Kapitan moved and Mr. Peterson seconded to retain the current value for the 2022 taxable year for Lowell Gunderson at $3,279,600. Discussion: Mrs. Scherling asked if the RV pads can be retroactively added to the previous year’s assessment. Mr. Fracassi said yes, they can be added through an omitted assessment. He said there was no oversite from the City of Casselton and the property owner is working with the City now to resolve the issues. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 9. METRO FLOOD DIVERSION, Road updates County Engineer, Jason Benson and Assistant County Engineer, Matthew Stamness were present and gave the Board an update on the Metro Flood Diversion Project as it relates to county roads and road closures. Mr. Stamness said work is ongoing southwest of Horace on the Drain 27 Wetland Restoration project. He said road closures in this area are 57th Street South and 112th Avenue South. Mr. Stamness said work is also ongoing in the Northeast portion of the project and the closures will take place in August for 171st Avenue Southeast and 24th Street Southeast. 10. ROAD, Road rights of way public hearing-Resolution #2022-07 adopted Mr. Benson said the Metro Flood Diversion Authority (FMDA) and Cass County Joint Water Resource District (CCJWRD) is asking Cass County to take over road rights-of-way and prepare to close 24th Street Southeast, 27th Street Southeast, 170th Avenue Southeast, 171st Avenue Southeast, and 172nd Avenue Southeast. He said these road closures are required for the construction Phase 1 of the Metro Flood Diversion Stormwater Diversion Channel and Associated Infrastructure (SWDCAI). He said the County will take control of the above roads immediately following the approval from the Commission and the road closures will take place in phases as construction of the SWDCAI begins this fall and next spring. He said all properties along these roads have been acquired by the CCJWRD. Mr. Benson said pursuant to the terms of the MOU with the CCJWRD and FMDA, notices of today’s public hearing were sent to landowners within 1,000 feet of the closure requests at least 30 days prior to the hearing. Mr. Steen opened the public hearing for Resolution #2022-07, and hearing no comments, Mr. Steen closed the public hearing. Mr. Peterson asked if the Highway Department received any calls or feedback regarding the closures prior to today’s public hearing. Mr. Benson said no comments have been received. He said the FMDA and Highway Department have attended Township meetings and informed area residents of the closures, as well as the CCJWRD has acquired properties in the area needed for the projects, and the closures are not a surprise to area residents. MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved and Mr. Kapitan seconded to adopt Resolution #2022-07 to take over road right of way and grant written permissions to permanently obstruct the same portions of 24th Street Southeast, 27th Street Southeast, 170th Avenue Southeast, 171st Avenue Southeast, and 172nd Avenue Southeast. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 11. ROAD, County Road 81 slide repair approved Mr. Benson said there is a large slide located west of Cass Highway 81 and south of 88th Avenue South along the Wild Rice River. He said the slide is threatening the shoulder on the west side of Cass 81 and several utilities in the right of way. Mr. Benson said this issue was brought to the Flood Sales Tax Committee to seek funding and the direction of the Committee was to seek funding from other sources before the Committee would commit funds. He said Highway Department staff submitted a funding request to the State Water Commission and were granted $732,950 for the slide repair. Mr. Benson said due to the sanitary sewer main concerns from the City of Fargo, Fargo has indicated they would be able to cost share for that portion of the project. He said the details of the cost share and the final cost of the project are being worked out and will be submitted to the Commission for approval when they are finalized. Mr. Benson said the request today is to engage Houston Engineering, Inc. to provide engineering services for the detailed design of the slide area. The estimated cost of the engineering work is $30,803. MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved and Mrs. Scherling seconded to authorize the Chair to sign the purchase order and contract documents with Houston Engineering, Inc. for engineering services for the detailed design of the slide area along Cass Highway 81, south of 88th Avenue South. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 12. ROAD, Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Harwood approved Mr. Benson said the City of Harwood is completing a project to reconstruct Freeland Drive and the intersection of Freeland Drive and Cass Highway 22 needs improvements. He said the main issue of the intersection is the small turn radius for trucks and busses along with drainage challenges. Mr. Benson said this is not a 2022 budgeted project, however, is a good time to fix the intersection while the rest of Freeland Drive is being reconstructed. He said the 2022 budget has available funding to cover the $77,525 that the intersection improvement requires. Mr. Peterson asked what the total cost of the project is. Mr. Benson said he did not have the total cost with him and said he would provide Commissioner Peterson with the total cost after the meeting.

On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 14. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, Human Resource Director/Assistant County Administrator job description approved to send to Gallagher County Administrator, Robert Wilson was present and said the current County Human Resource (HR) Director will be retiring effective August 1, 2022, leaving the position vacant. He said in discussions to fill this position, the option of making the position a County Human Resource Director/Assistant County Administrator has been discussed. He said a draft of the job description for the combined position was considered by the Cass County Personnel Overview Committee (POC) on June 6, 2022, and the committee had several recommended changes. Mr. Wilson said the suggested changes have been updated and a new version of the job description was sent to the Board prior to the meeting today. Mr. Peterson said he still believes the current HR Director is not sitting with nothing to do 35% of the time and he does not want to set this new position up for failure. He said he believes this position would not be able to fulfil both roles in 40 hours per week. Mr. Steen said many things have changed for the HR Director role in the past year including the addition of a Payroll Specialist position, a new Payroll/HR System, and the Cass Human Service Zone creating an Operations/Human Resource position to assist the zone with HR functions. Mr. Breitling said the Board’s decision today is not to deicide if the position should be changed, rather if the proposed job description should be sent to Gallagher for review and a recommended grade classification within the County’s pay matrix. MOTION, passed Mr. Breitling moved and Mrs. Scherling seconded to submit the Human Resource/Assistant County Administrator position to Gallagher for review and classification within the County’s pay matrix. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 15.

Mrs. Scherling said she has recently been contacted by residents in the Orchard Glen Park area and she and Sheriff Jahner met with the residents where they expressed their concerns about the park conditions including issues of speeding and unleashed dogs. She said the Sheriff’s Department is going to increase patrol in the area and the Highway Department is going to put up signs in the area to help with the issues. She said the Fargo Park District was gifted this park by Cass County a few years ago. Ms. Madrigga discussed an overview of the 2022 Primary Election process. She said Cass County had over 20,000 voters; 4,000 early voters and 5,000 absentee voters. She said voter turnout was down from 2018. She said the Atonement Church vote center was the busiest location. Ms. Madrigga said there was a delay in the release of election results due to the long length of time the voting machines took to print reports. Ms. Madrigga thanked the Information Technology team for their assistants in the election process and making things flow smoothly. County Information Technology Director, Bob Henderson was present and gave a brief description of the IT side of the elections. He said it is personal preference whether voters prefer the electronic voting ballots or the physical paper ballots. 18.
