Abatements
Mr. DeBold stated that Jason Weir is here and would like to speak with the board regarding his abatement.
Jason Weir stated I would like to invite the board to view these properties. I am concerned with the base rate that is on both properties. I would like to make sure that this process is going in the right way. Sales are coming in very under what the assessment is.
Mr. DeBold stated that he would look at the property but I am not sure if I can add anything to the abatement as I am not sure what I would be looking for.
Mr. Weir stated that he is concerned about the value and is in the process of getting an appraisal for both properties. The equalization ratio should to be at market value.
Mr. Paveglio stated that the state defines market value. I do agree with you on the equalization.
Mr. Weir stated that I have concerns about market value versus equalization.
Mr. Weir stated the property is in the commercial zone and it is a residential but it should receive a 25% depreciation rate for the residential as well as the fact that the property is wet.
I do not understand the discrepancy in the abatement. I do not know where to start with the other lot. The house is a liability that needs to go away and I do not believe there is any value there. Again I invite you come down and take a look at these properties. I think you guys need to take a look to see if you agree with the numbers. I think both of these are off a little bit.
Mr. DeBold stated that he would go down and take a look but I am not sure what I can contribute to it.
Mr. Paveglio stated that he would like to talk with the Assessor. I think the way the state looks at it is they have to have a place to start. That’s why I want to talk with Assessor.
Mr. DeBold stated that we would have the assessor come and invite Mr. Weir back as well.
A motion was made by Mr. DeBold and seconded by Mr. Paveglio to accept the Assessor’s recommendation on the following abatements:
Map 5 Lot 15 abate the amount of $59,300 in assessed value
Map 3 Lot 16 to deny the abatement request
Map 3 Lot 48 abate the amount of $77,800 in assessed value
Map 3 Lot 49 abate the amount of $67,400 in assessed value
Map 4 Lot 36 abate the amount of $71,400 in assessed value
Map 4 Lot 35 to deny the abatement request. Motion Passes
Summer Schedule
Mr. Paveglio stated that he likes to meet regularly.
Mr. DeBold stated that he likes the summer schedule as the board does meet more than others and would like the summer schedule.
Mr. Jordan stated I think we need to be more cognitive of things that are going on during the summer months.
A motion was made by Mr. DeBold and seconded by Mr. Pavglio that the Board of Selectmen will change the meeting schedule during the month of July and August to meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of those months and the board will hold any additional meetings as necessary. Motion Passes
