Selectmen's Meeting January 3, 2011 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, January 3, 2011, at 7:30 p.m. in the Selectmen Meeting Room, Town Office Building. Chairman Manz, Mr. Cohen, Mr. Burnell and Ms. Mauger; Mr. Valente, Town Manager and Mr. Addelson, Comptroller, were present. Tax Classification Hearing There was a short presentation by Rob Addelson to explain where we are in the legislative relief process. The bill to allow DOR to consider new figures is before the governor, but it has not been signed. If it is signed it will be brought to the attention of DOR which will then open the electronic portal to allow us to submit our revised figures. A new information packet will be drafted after the portal has been opened by DOR. Mr. Mehr asked to be heard and was recognized. Mr. Mehr feels that 95 Hayden Avenue is not assessed correctly and that there should be an increase in at least one section of the parcel which would constitute new growth for which the Town should be compensated. Mr. Addelson replied that while there was a change in value of a portion of the parcel, a reallocation of value across the entire parcel caused no net change and therefore there was no new growth realized. Mr. Burnell felt that Mr. Mehr's ideas about commercial valuation are not correct. Mr. Mehr's comments were noted by Mr. Manz. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted 4 -0 to continue the hearing until 7:45 p.m. on January 10, 2011. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn at 8:00 p.m. A true record; Attest: Hank Manz Chairman
