 erty on:

   (ii) the growth of new small businesses in the county, if any;
   (iii) the growth of new jobs in the county, if any;
   (iv) the population growth of the county, if any;
   (v) the number of tax exempt not-for-profit organizations in the coun-

   (vi) the percentage of dedicated park land in the county;
   (vii) any other information the board deems appropriate;
   (c) feasible revisions to real property tax policies,  procedures  and
 practices  that  reduce  the  tax burden in properties within the county
 that are subject to real property taxation; and
   (d) strategies that will support an  equitable  distribution  of  real
 property taxation within the county.
