From the transcript
You have— you set your mill rate. 20, 20 Mils are simple math. But if you can prove, or you can claim, similar to a CELS or a veteran or any of these things, if you can prove that you're a resident, this is where you live, you live in Cordova year-round, okay, your mill rate— you get a discount on your mill rate. We can say you— you can't say you have a different mill rate, but you can offer a discount, I believe, is how I've seen in other communities, or a reduced mill rate. I think it's just off the assessed value you can do.
