In the early 1980s, Kentucky began downsizing, impacting appraisal management with a decrease from 30 to 6 staff review appraisers by 2003, despite work remaining consistent. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) adapted by contracting out approximately 70% of review work to prequalified fee review appraisers, emphasizing work quality and ethics. A one-day training prepares appraisers for the role, ensuring they meet the same authority and responsibility as staff appraisers. This strategy maintains high standards, demonstrating that contracted fee reviewers can be as effective, if not superior, to in-house staff.
