have you guys sign the correct form. So, that one got tossed out. >> Okay. It didn't hold anything up, did it? >> No. >> Okay. >> She said she's fine with getting it today instead of
that other day. So, I'm assuming Nancy is probably the one more available than you or Eric to if something needed to be signed and I was out, you know, payroll or something. Yeah, I I would say just do them in the order. If if if
um if you aren't around, they should call Bill. If he's not available, call me. Okay. >> According to this, it's you. >> Oh, >> well, I just always in and out. So, that's the only reason why. But >> I'm only slightly offended, but

is for $4,000 the maximum. >> Yes. >> And all in favor? >> I. >> Now, I need a motion to take from table. >> Okay. Uh, Mr. Chairman, I move that we return to agenda 4A and remove it from
the table so that the town administrator can give us a report on his review of the assessive office policies. You're up. >> Yes. Second. Wait a minute. Oh, I'm sorry. Second. I'm sorry. >> Motion made and seconded. Any
discussion? No discussion. All in favor? >> I >> I >> um Well, thank you for allowing me to come to talk to you about this. >> Now, the next study you got to do is is complimentary procedure. >> I'll leave that to for the boards to handle themselves. There you go. So at
the last meeting on uh June 11th, I know the the uh the assessors you guys were entertaining complaint about the um the assessing office. So the chairman had asked uh asked me to do a um to to do a review of of of the department and their
procedures. Um so I took it upon myself to you know since since the um the complaint was generally speaking about um um abatements and um exemptions. Um I I focused uh the review on on those two on those two areas of the assessment
department. So a lot of it at the at the very beginning um right you you're you're the commissioners here you know it nothing right nothing new um at the amount of work that the assessing department does and who's uh who's in the office but a couple of things that
you which you may not you you may not be aware of the amount of uh the numbers that run that run through that office one of the first key numbers is that uh which the uh you know the assessor and people work for have to touch uh the deeds recorded at the registry of
deeds, the property changes and that's something we're responsible for as you saw last year was uh and the 2024 was uh over 200 and half a year uh this year we're looking at 100. So they they probably looks like they do slightly
over 200 every year. So that's things they have to touch look at uh and make and uh make changes to. Um, additionally I wanted to point out uh the exemptions you know um last year they had again uh
was 135 exemptions with things you have to go in and change and and the year before that was 120. So you know >> so the workload is going up >> the workload is going up. Uh well, I also like to uh point out that um they
have procedures in in place uh to you know to deal with it and and this one is you know an eightstep procedure and and and for abatements um you know abatements um as uh vehicle excises um
as you could see um you know in 2024 they had to do they did 413 last year they did 595. So there there's a lot of um uh change um
you happening uh that that they have to do from the original uh from the original um you know and I put the number I don't know >> that's a huge jump I mean but just people buying and selling more cars is that what
>> that's like that's a 50% from 400 to 600 motor vehicle abatements. >> Well, I mean, right now the veterans are
22E. You're exempt from the excise tax for one of your cars. So, that's something new. >> So, you have to process that as an abatement. >> Yeah. >> Okay. That makes more sense. I just think, you know, you can see like a small variance year to year, but 50%
sounds like >> that's a big jump. Yeah. Huge. >> That makes sense. So they've added something that you have to now touch. >> So that increases your number of touches on those things. >> Okay. >> Right. >> Yeah. >> So that's saddled with this fiscal year. >> Mhm. >> Okay.
>> So and and again they have abatement procedures. I think overall I think you know um you know as I you know have pointed out they do and you know as not being an assessor I call it change requests. So they do
approximately 700 change requests a year whether it's an abatement or or or on the excise um uh tax. So and I think um you know one of the things we looked at with over 700 changes per year um
there's right there's bound to be errors. Um you know we don't you know I'm not saying they do it perfectly as as as hardly as much as they try. um they don't but we're not getting overrun by people saying that this is done
incorrectly. So, we know that we know that things happen, but they have procedures in place. And one of the things I went over and I'm I'm going over with with Stephanie, you know, let's um you know, let's do a little better followup, you know, let's just list what they do with you know, but but
what can we do to improve it? Um and I put down like three steps which we'll be continuing to look at is one sort of implement redundancy procedures. So, you know, what's that? Establish a system of crossverification during application reviews to reduce uh to reduce oversight
and ensure accuracy. Uh this will include second party reviews with the office could take a look at it. Uh periodic procedure review meetings. So who knows best on how to procedures you know Stephanie and her crew. So, so, uh,
schedule regular sessions, you know, with the office, uh, go over current procedures, identify inefficiencies and, you know, revise protocols as necessary. And lastly, you know, develop, uh, standardization of document requirements. You know, when people come into the office, we want to make it as
easy for everyone as possible. You need ABC D. Um, you know, make sure that everybody understands what ABCD is. uh that you know um that the office can clearly uh define it, identify and tell people and then people know what to
bring back. So there's no there's no delays in processing the the the change requests. So um that's the general overview of uh of of the memo. So I'm here available to answer any questions.
>> So um I did read this uh prior to this meeting. Uh thank you very much. for this very thorough evaluation. Um the thing that struck me the most because obviously you know this is all backup. Thank you. Uh but those three
things are really the important right you know recommendation of what to do to change and the one that struck me as something that is important is uh redundancy verification. So first of all I'd like to ask do is there any so when
you process anything say an abatement application right does one person in the office handle it or is it done by one person and reviewed by another? >> Um we used to we used to when they would come in we
would if I open the mail I would you know do the abatement up now we just hand it off. We don't there's too many hands in, too many people doing things, things get shifted around. So now we just give it to the clerk. Um she takes
care of it and she inputs it the information on the system. Um we she will compare her list to what is in her pile that she input and um we will do like a spot check just to make sure. I
mean it we probably should just check. Yeah, I I think there should be more than just a spot check. Um I don't want to double the amount of work in the office. That be very clear on that. Mhm. >> Um, however, like for instance, when we
have these meetings, maybe you guys think may think I'm a pain in the butt, but every single piece of paper that you hand to me, even if it's something mundane, I'm looking at things to just I'm just verifying like like that stack we caught today, there were five, you
know, we used to do them all all at once. >> And it did not take a lot of time for me to just say, "Oh, look, there's only five, but there's six on the list." Um, and I'm every single one of those pieces of paper, I just quickly looked at it and I said, "Okay, the what's on
the front, what I'm signing matches what is on the backup." That doesn't take a lot of time to simply go over check all the numbers. This makes sense. >> And I think that's something that should be done on every single
out, as you say, change request um in the office. Does how do you guys feel about that? Um, that's fine with me, especially I mean, and I'm not making excuses. We have new personnel and obviously that
would be helpful to a new employee as she becomes more familiar. I still think it's good that um the two people that are working practically side by side uh could work together to provide that, if you will, cross check. >> And then, do you understand what I'm
saying? just a cursory look over it and say, >> "Yeah, >> this this is, you know, I'm saying spend less than a minute just verifying that everything looks good." >> Well, the other thing I'm thinking of the uh I like the idea of the u one time, please.
>> No, I I think that's fair. Just make sure that everything we look at is accurate, double checked by, you know, cross checked. Double checked. >> So, if we all agree, can we have a motion to instruct Stephanie to implement that? Uh, I'll make a motion that we uh
instruct Stephanie to implement a crossverification system for reviewing applications. >> Second. >> Motion made second. Any discussion on that, including from you? Anything you have any input on that?
>> No. >> Okay. Uh, all in favor? Hi. >> Hi. >> Hi. >> Now, um procedure, the second item seemed a little more generic to me. Um maybe maybe you can
can you tell me what you envision something concrete, >> right? And I I think to your to your point on on sort of redundancy, how is that going to work? How, you know, how is the office going to implement it? And I say something periodic review,
procedural review, how do we implement redundancy? Because they'll know what is the best and most efficient way for them to do the redundancies as they go through it. Um, you know, how do we look at it? Do I pass it? Does, you know, does does Melanie pass to Valerie or or
something like that? And I I think more I wanted to keep this open-ended because they know um they know what their procedures are and sort of what is the most efficient way for them to do it. And I understand what you took because you know when I sign off on on the bills, you know, at first I was just
signing off on then mistakes happen. I said, "All right." So I just quickly go through, right? So through each bill to make sure it just matches up. I just don't initial it and sign it. Now I initial it and and book and it doesn't take that long. But uh you know my point you know for
this if if they know if they go through the procedures of something's not working you know oh can we change it to make it make it easier for for every >> yeah so you're looking as it goes through the process you're going this is crazy do this better >> I mean this is this is too many touches
there's not enough touches and then you can say listen can we change yeah so then >> but do you do it on a regular basis like quarter thing or once a month thing. Do you do you like put it on your calendar to schedule a meeting or something like that? >> We haven't had a meeting in a little while. So, we probably should have
>> Yeah, I think we're and I think I agree is it should be >> you just need to put it on your calendar. >> You know, pick a time >> once a quarter. >> Once a quarter >> something like that once a quarter just even if it's sit down with a cup of coffee and you guys how is the how is the office working guys? How is your
workflow going? We see what are your problems some things you get some feedback from the team >> if they have some feedback on improving processes if there are >> and then weigh that even bring it to us if you have and say hey we're doing this what do you guys think um just what opens the line of communication between
everybody because if you know somebody further down the chain than you sees something she should be able to come to you and at whatever meeting because you guys are busy obviously we've got a lot of activity going on you can't just be implementing changes all the time and say hey we need to sit down for half an
hour over this once a quarter then they know okay I'll bring it up then and they can have a little notebook let's put little notes here >> I feel like we kind of do that now if there's something that's not working or there's something a problem we're going to speak right up it's not like >> so so maybe formalize it all hands once
we're going to get formalize it say once a month instead of because here's what might happen right and I've been on a lot of different teams you're you're focused in on something and you're doing something and then somebody on the team says is I have a better way to do something. They come over. Now they're distracting your thought and your
workflow because >> obviously you want the feedback. I mean that's a new thing to get that feedback and they feel they feel open enough to come to you and say, "Hey, Steph, you know, we can do this." Well, now you're off track, right? So where if they know it's going to be on, you know, July 31st or you're having a meeting for five minutes, they can just take a note, give
them a little notepad, say, "Take notes. Bring the notes." >> Right? >> Even if it's just a thought, throw it out there and we'll we'll toss it around. >> You know, that way they know it's that time and they can't come to you. It refocuses the mindset just by a short shorter method. Yeah. And that's >> So do we want to do we want to instruct
Stephanie to do this? >> I don't know if there's a motion. She she can she got the suggestion I think to implement >> following the suggestion. I'm not sure Nancy agrees but >> No, no, no. That's fine. And my other thought with periodic procedures quarterly is let's we'll do this
quarterly but as you said at time you do this when a situation arises which is good quarterly is mean we're going to meet and they shouldn't hold stuff till the quarter if it's urgent work right now obviously if it's yeah
>> I think it's important that each of the employees in the office know what's coming down from do you know how I get copies of all sorts of good stuff. The last one was the regional school, >> whatever. >> Even if it doesn't exactly pertain to
the job they're doing, >> um, do they get those or are they coming into you? Okay. >> That's a DLS alert. >> Yes. Because the other thing, too, is they need to know if the DF DLS alert comes in and they look at it and say, >> is that going to affect something I do?
If they're not sure, they should be saying, do we have to do anything? Does this affect us? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cuz we get them more than one a week. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Yeah, we do. >> Moving on. Uh standardized document
requirements. >> It does. >> Yes. We have an application for abatements that are filled out for motor vehicle and property abatements. We have standard. We have, you know, something you give to an applicant.
>> Yes. They come in, say, "Oh, I sold my car." Then we ask them what they do with the car. We give them the application. We tell them what we're looking for. >> But is it on a piece of paper? >> And it's We have a sign, >> a little checklist. Do you have a checklist? Maybe copies. Can we do that? Is that too expensive? Make copies. >> I mean, we can
>> make a copy and hand it to them. If they're already, if I come through the door and I sold my car and I've gone through this before and I come through the door with the paperwork I need, obviously it's going to be processed. >> If I What do I do with this? It would be
good to get a list. Even though it's printed there, I'm not going to remember what's on that side. >> I mean, on the back of their bill, it tells you what you need to do, >> which they don't read, >> right? >> They they aren't going to do anything until they came in saying, "I don't know what to do with this." So my thought is
since you've got the list is put it on a small piece of paper, hand it to them when they come back and say to them they don't have one, >> bring that checklist back when you come and if they don't bring it back, you're going to have a blank one there and you're going to use it to cross reference what they have brought you
because you know you gave them the list and you can say, "Oh, well I I need whatever. I need this document. It's not here." So if you'll get that document, we'll take care of this. All right. Because when people come in, it's just like, "What do I do with this?" They
just want to get it done. >> You don't want to give the all the paperwork that's incomplete back to them and say, "Bring it when it's complete." >> Yeah. You don't want to hold it in the office because if it gets lost, they correct back the package and say, "Okay, you did this, this, this, this is the
one I need." So, put it in the package and bring it back. >> Yeah. I think it's a good way to go. Is this a >> Well, you were saying that my my question is, is this a problem right now? Do we have problems with applications that are incomplete? >> Oh, yeah. >> Incomplete documentation.
>> Always. >> Mostly documentation. They don't have the right stuff, >> right? >> Yeah. Get a list. Make a list, print it, hand it to them with their application, >> and then they email us. >> Yeah. >> Things we don't need. >> Yeah. >> So, then we have to reach out again. I
think what happens as as Stephanie was telling me it's then they can't get it done and then taxpayer winds up the applicant winds up getting a bill and they said I submitted it and then you know you don't >> just so I'll entertain a motion to instruct Stephanie to create checklists
for our >> Okay, >> Mr. Again, I make a motion that we uh instruct Stephanie to create a comprehensive checklist of items needed
to accompany each application for abatements. >> Exemptions >> and exemptions. >> Exemptions. We already have cover sheets with >> Oh, all right. Just Oh, good. Okay. So, you're just duplicating that process here. Yeah. >> Okay. I second that.
>> Motion made and seconded. Discussion. Um I would just like to say that um so is that all we're talking about is abatements exception exemptions. Is there anything else? Well, that's kind of it because that is do you >> just the busiest or part of our day is
>> and a lot of back and forth with the customer with the taxpayer, right? That's what you want to cut down on the back and forth >> clarity for them when they walk out >> saying, "All right, it's exactly what I need." That's perfect. >> I would just add so when I come in with my pile, I already been once. I didn't
bring in I got my list. So now I come in with my stuff and I'm still missing form A, whatever. I would suggest that on the checklist you make note receive, receive, receive, not receive, and date
it so that there should be no question. I brought that in. I'm sure I did. And you say >> date everything, >> you know, just >> I know >> just to show I know it's elementary, but >> you document it. Yeah. Yeah.
>> Any more discussion? All in favor? >> I I um I have a question about um I see Nancy. She's in the office. Do we have some like signage that gives up
deadlines for people in the office? Um, >> and correct me if I'm wrong, but I think one of the things that irritates people the most is when they come in to file and they, "Oh, it's too late." You know, just get that short 30-day window or
something like that. >> Well, >> is there any way we can get that? >> Do we have an assessor department part of the website? >> Yeah. >> Right. We do. Does that get updated? Would people see that? That's that's typical. I mean, not everybody can update websites. I know I know Carrie's really good at it, but Not everybody is
like I'm not >> so um well we have the applications that we leave in the front when it's time um we usually tell people but I think on the website we have the application and I think we have
about filement you must deadline is >> do we have that in the office >> or make it clear >> less uh technologically uh inclined people >> maybe not but I don't see why we can't I
mean is this something you want up year round >> I would think so yeah just a sign that had you know at the desk that says you know these are the various deadlines you know you have what is that three years I think to file for motor vehicle
abatement and you know real estate must be by February 1st >> $5 limit on abatement >> you know those sort of things you know the the bullet list so people know when they walk in they go bam there it is like these are the most important things >> yeah and then it may prevent you can
just say yep files right there and exemption boom baitment boom they go over and it's got dates times lists >> and where you don't spend 10 minutes explaining it to them writing it down doing all those things they can go oh it's clear it's right here it's in a file boom I grab it >> I don't know >> but also if I show up on I think it may
cut down on some of that problem the taxpayers you know If I show up on the fourth year and say I want to get an abatement on this clearly posted three years. Okay. It's not a matter of >> Okay. Thank you all very much. Mr.
>> Chairman, you're welcome to hang out or >> uh Mr. Chairman, I make a motion that we uh >> vote to uh accept the report from the town administrator as presented. >> Second. >> Motion made second. Discussion. All in
favor? >> I >> I >> Thank you. >> Thank you, sir. >> for your help. >> That's okay. >> Um public input. >> Respondence. >> Um I just wanted you guys to know that
um I received my from that um letter I sent out to the power plant >> and the lawyer. I know they've received it. So, we'll see what happens with that. >> Anything else? >> And it was just about um the invoices.
So, that I need everyone's MAO invoices. >> Yeah. And I wrote back to you. >> You couldn't >> I couldn't find it by the same token. >> I could not find it either, but >> I can reach out to make sure >> more so I'm not sure I've ever asked you the question before, but why exactly do
we need to pay dues to this organization? Well, these >> they provide free training for what? >> Well, you also have to pay for it. But this is >> it's not free training. >> It's our membership to this association. >> Okay. That's right. But
>> what does the association do for us? >> I can tell you in the four years I've been doing this or three and a half years, I've never needed them once for anything. >> I would say that's the same thing. And I was here a year before you, two years before you.
>> Have you do you use them? If anybody's gonna use I >> I go to now the trainings that we have that are sponsored by town cities. We don't pay for that directly. >> Um we have dues but it's only $25. These are 93.
>> Okay. But what I'm saying is I I when I can I attend I've been to Secon and I think that's different than this. That's our BCAA members. So the um I'll call them regional state meetings, >> right?
>> I know you go to them. Um the one in December is that's the that's not or is that Bristol County? No, that's Bristol County. >> That's County around Christmas time. >> Maybe you don't have to have this membership to be on the board so I can
