2.      Subsection (6) of Section 33.03 entitled "Board of Assessors" of the Madison General Ordinances is amended to read as follows:

"(6)      The Board of Assessors shall remain in session until all corrections and changes have been made, including all those resulting from investigations by committees of objections to valuations filed with the City Assessor as provided in this section, after which the City Assessor shall prepare the assessment rolls as corrected by the Board of Assessors and submit them to the Board of Review not later than the last Monday in July.  A person assessed who has been notified of the determination of the Board of Assessors as required in Subsection (4) is deemed to have accepted such determination unless the person notifies the City Assessor in writing, within ten fifteen (1015) days from the date that the notice of determination was issued under Subsection (4), of a desire to present testimony before the Board of Review. After the Board of Review meets, the City Assessor may appoint committees of the Board of Assessors to investigate any objections to the amount or valuation of any real or personal property which are referred to the City Assessor by the Board of Review.  The committees so appointed may at the City Assessor's direction report their investigation and recommendations to the Board of Review and any member of any such committee shall be a competent witness in any hearing before the Board of Review."
