Good evening. I motion to um start the board of assessors meeting of Tuesday, October 21st at 5:30 p.m. Um first the announcement is this meeting is being recorded by the local scene.
Anyone intending to make an audio or video recording of this meeting should notify the chair of this time. Um we have open session. Seeing no one here, we'll skip to Marin Clark to provide office updates.
>> Okay. Um the first off office update is the for um release overlay to overlay surplus. Um we discussed this in length last week, two weeks ago at our meeting. And what we're doing is releasing
$100,000 from Olay um to go to Olay Surplus. And that will be how we fund our rebell. There'll be a particle of town meeting funding the rebell um $100 from Olay Surplus.
>> 100,000. Yeah, it' be great if it was a hundred. Thank you. But um I believe we need a motion to >> All right. Uh, I make a motion that we uh move money from Olay to Olay surplus in the amount of $100,000.
All those in favor? >> I'll second. >> Oh, second. Second. All those in favor? >> I >> I. All those opposed? Seeing none, motion passes. >> Um, NY signing that and this and then I just want to give you an update on the
interim adjustment. Um, it's pretty much set and I'm getting ready to send the LA3, which is a sales analysis, to the state hopefully tomorrow. Um, and this is just an update of the new rates. If you guys want to look at this, the
single family homes are going up 7%. Um, condos are going up 6% and two families are up 18%. um the two families have a big jump. And again, single family and condos doesn't
mean everyone will just go up 7%. That will range, but that's the average percent um just from the rebell. And commercial property is going up 2%. that will be looked at more closely next year when we have the revaluation
and they'll look at the INE and do we would dig a dig deeper into all the analysis but um and these if you guys want to look at these it just pretty much
shows you old rates and that's how we come into the values the old rates and new rates nothing jumps out crazy >> at me anyway. The modern contemporaries are probably going up the most. They had a decent um rate hike because of the
sales. >> Yeah, sales are what they are. >> And um that's all I have for the office update. Still working on that. >> All right. Um and do you mind if I move on to review
bills? No. >> Okay. Um let's go into the bills. Hey, so this I have just a question on it. So this is the Plymouth County Association fee. And Steve, you're not in the county anymore. >> So it's $25 a person. I just wanted to

and she said and you know I I also expressed hey that the system might not be entirely connected correctly. And she says, "Well, you you can get us to come in. We do a three-day process. They come in and they review everything that every department is doing with the application for two days."
>> And then the third day, they give you a report that you should be doing this, you should be doing that. I'm like, >> "That's free." >> No, I don't believe it's free. Okay. But I don't really care what it is. >> No, no, you need it. So that's Yeah. >> Yeah. It's like I was like, "You're kidding." So, I'm talking to some folks over my

I actually asked because it was Kevin and this other guy. And I actually asked Kevin, I said, "So um who's the older? You were the other one." Cuz these two guys look like they're brothers. He's going legit. There's no relationships. They both had the same glasses, the same haircut, the same height. I'm like, what
