but we're going to start with the town election status of board uh members, which is basically your reorganization of the board based upon our changing membership. We have I was reelected for one year. Uh we still have an opening.
So we would love to have someone who has an interest in assessing uh to approach us. Let us know. I do have a couple of names of folks I'm going to call. Um but thank you to those people who did vote for me. Um it's it's a lot of work, but
it's been very rewarding and hopefully we'll get another good year of progress out of this. Um, I think we need to go ahead and reorganize, which means would you would you like to make a nomination? I nominate you for chair. I believe I can
second that. I think you can. Uh, any further discussion? No. All in favor? I I uh I would like to nominate you for vice chair, Sarah. I guess I accept. She guesses she accepts. So that
was a second. Uh any further discussion? No. All in favor? I um I we also need a clerk, but you can only I think you can only have one role. Yeah. But I'm not sure which one's more important. So if we find that the the uh
clerk role is more important, we will revisit at a later date. We're going to get the work done anyway. Also, I reserve the right to when we get an additional member to revisit the reorganization um because that person needs to have a
say. Works for me. Thank you. Mhm. Uh opening comments. Any comments from the board? No. Uh as I said, thanks for the votes. Um hopefully we're doing something good for you all. Um is there anyone here from the public?
No one in the building. Nope. No. No one on Zoom. No. So, we're going to move on to the next item. This is the earliest we've ever been to the status report for the principal assessor. So, we're had status report for the principal assessor. I'll pass these.
Thank you. Okay. So, for the month of May or within the past month, uh we have had um 13 of Butter's list requests. Um our total exemption total for
FY2026 was 132 real estate exemptions. Our um we also received 30 motor vehicle excise tax abatements. So it's quite busy coming in. Um Janice continues to
follow up on the building permits. Denise is our data collector. Data collector. Sorry, I should have specified that. Uh the cyclical inspections uh started back up on May 12th. Uh and we have been updating the assessor's website and the Lunenburgg
Facebook page has been updated with the streets every week that Josh from Vision Appraisal is inspecting. All of the postcards uh for this fiscal year have been mailed so that we can allow the plenty of notice to the
residents and um the streets as well. We're trying to do that every week. It's very difficult to do it on a daily basis. It was requested daily by a resident and it's just impossible for us to do that. But we are doing it every week and if they
have any questions we can try to reach Josh. But it's once he leaves the office, it sometimes is difficult to to reach him because he's out doing inspections. Just to be clear, he takes a handful of cards um every week and starts to do those inspections. Um so he
would then have to try to find the card if you call them every day. But if he knows if we know beforehand, then the card doesn't wind up in his hands so he doesn't try to go to your place. Yeah. And I I do want to make it clear that if
he does inspect a property and uh if the resident doesn't does not want an interior inspection, it's no problem. Just advise him of that and he can do the interior or whatever they wish. So um and uh the chapter land applications,
we had a few that um we had not received applications for nor response from two letters. that were sent out. I did bring those back to full value. Uh I do have three additional um chapter land properties that had
recent sales that do not have leans nor applications. So we have made an additional attempt to reach these homeowners. Uh I will advise you we have a deadline uh believe it's u in two weeks for a response. I think I asked
you last time, but can you do a very brief what is chapter land? Yep. Um, so we have three types of chapter land in Lunberg. Uh, we have the forestry which is 61, 61A is agriculture and 61B is
recreation. Our deadline for uh, chapter land uh, applications is December 1st. Uh, we have Yep. which has already ended. Um we have people that have not responded uh from December 1st and we're
just cleaning up uh a lot of the chapter applications and the files haven't been looked at in some time. So we've been reorganizing the office going through making sure that they have leans uh and uh Robin has made a spreadsheet our
admin. So we're you know we're trying to just follow up on everything because I I think that was something that wasn't addressed. Um what we will do is uh so to be more clear the 61 forestry you
need to have um a minimum of 10 acres uh for the 61A which is agriculture you have to have 5 acres and the same thing for uh 61B uh which is recreation. Uh with the 61A you have to have um every
year you have to um submit the sales whether it's hay, honey or whatever it is that is grown. Yeah. And in 61B uh it has to be let the land has to be left in an open and natural state.
Thank you. As far as um the goals next month, um we're continuing our inspections uh for our building inspections uh or if a a homeowner calls with any questions and they would would like an inspection,
we've been accommodating that as well. Um Denise and I have uh actually started to uh make some headway with our FY2026 growth. uh is currently this is tax dollars $333,842 which is an assessed value of
23,248,70. Um it was um allocated uh estimated to be 400,000 for FY2026. So we uh we have till June 30th to follow up on um our inspections. So,
we will be very active in the next month to try to finish up on that and hopefully by next meeting I'll have a a more accurate uh estimate of the growth. Next meeting. You say next week? Next meeting. Okay. I wasn't sure if you said next week or next meeting.
Next meeting in June. Um, and I will also be starting the scope of work for our our neighborhood uh review uh for that do directive. So,
when do you expect to have the scope of work prepared for our next meeting? For our next meeting, I will have that. Yeah. Great. Uh, you mentioned the do directives. We actually have more than one. We do. And
we have started working on virtually all of them. Right. Not all of them. We've worked on the chapter land. Uh we've started uh addressing uh sales follow on sales cyclicals and um now the neighborhood is the
next I believe we have to look at the land as well. At the what? The land land as well. But we we are addressing those. So the revisitation of the neighborhoods is something we expect to be a two to threeyear program
uh to complete. Y we have to be done by 2029. Yep, we do. So that should give us plenty of time to get through that process and to address the other directives as well.
Yeah, we do have five neighborhoods, so we've got to look at that. I've actually already started trying to work on the scope of work. Um I did actually consult with um actually an instructor that I've known for about 25 years. Um who is
actually uh he's an appraiser, a general appraiser just to get some insight and um he did have some suggestions. So it's good. So Denise and I have started looking at some sales. We're going to I did take Sarah's map and we're going to
try to just take that and looking at the sales looking at the land sales and see if we can kind of come up with some adjustments based on that. Okay. And we have a lot to review because our our neighborhood three has what
three 3,000 parcels and that actually extends beyond Massav and uh we really should actually have like the historic district in one neighborhood and it is all based on value. So there is a lot that we have to look into with the
neighborhoods, right? Yep. So and that is pretty much it for my update. Thank you. Any questions? So, you're still making the scope of work? I'm I'm starting it. Okay. Yeah. I'd love an Excel spreadsheet so that I
could make it easier for you to get map access. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I did um I did actually try to print out the map. Our big thing is that we can't print 11 by 17. So, it' be great if we could get somehow a bigger copy of that.
I think the capability to print 11 by7 is here in the building or even a bigger copy, but we need to figure out how to get to that access. So, and I'm getting some feedback, Lily. Test test test seems better. Thank you. For for
really large prints, they usually just go to stables. Yeah. Yeah. So it might be something you you might have to put into the budget or is there a role plotter in land use because they always have very large Oh, in all likelihood that over at the land
use they probably have the printer broader. So if you just uh check to see how you get access to that, that might help a lot. Okay. Yeah, great suggestion. Yeah. Yeah, I can check with Brian. Excellent suggestion. Yep. Cool.
Um, okay. No question, no further questions on the status report. We'll move to current business. I have not, didn't we do the February 19th ones last week? I thought we did. Um, I did not have an opportunity to do the March
uh minutes. I actually had some travel last week, so I was not available. Did Did I give you the copy of the ones I saw and modified? the ones you are. We were slated to maybe do meeting uh
minutes last meeting and I printed out a copy and made edits to them and I was wondering if I gave them to you. No, I will I will send it to you. I don't recall seeing them. Having said that, they're probably right here.
No. No. Okay. That was just in my mind then. Sorry. I'll bring them with me next week or next meeting. Don't have it. Okay. Thank you. Yep. So, we'll go through um several minutes
at the next meeting. I have some executive those are perfect. Yep. Uh Jack has not had the opportunity to go through our former member. So, um, but this needs to be changed to the 5th.
It's the date should be May 5th on that one. Oh, that's not even the same copy. That's a different date that I'm sorry, Sarah has. Oh, this is one copy. Yeah. And that's a separate one. This one. April 16th. Let's do them one at a time. My fault. I thought there were two copies of We don't really need two
copies, but um, let me just read through these. We had not seen these yet. So you can read. So this one has an address in it. So I don't think we can release it. We can just approve it. Um but not for
release. And then it'll have to be redacted in order to approve it for release. This one has several addresses in it. Oh, okay. Which brings up a a question on the letter where you are still working with
a couple of the chapter folks. What's their date? What's their final drop dead date? Let me see if I've got the date. May 28th. Okay, that's the deadline. Soon enough.
One of the ones you asked me to reach out to. Uh I didn't have a phone number, but I was able to con the file there was a number and I've been waiting to return call and I haven't gotten one as of yet. That was that one. So the date drop dead date still remain the same though. May
28th. We need to take action. Yeah. If people don't get back to us, we need to take action. Yep. They'll get back to us then. So, I was reviewing I am reviewing the one from May 5th executive
session. Miss Cameron is looking at April 16th. Yeah. We're going to have to get red pens for this. Thank you. [Applause] Um, one of the owners had signed the
application. I believe the owner's name was on the other second owner's name was on the application. Correct. Was not. Yeah, it was. It was on there but not signed. Or was it not on there? It It was the second owner's name was not on there at all. No. Okay. Nor signed. I
get that. Yeah. I modified that word to say attorney. Yeah. Thanks. Other than that, all the other changes you if you want is there anything else you want to look at that one? Yep. Right. The rest of it was just fine. Yeah.
So, uh, first we'll move on April 16th, not for release because there are addresses in here. Yeah, there's addresses in the other one, too. So, you want to make a motion? So, make a motion to approve the executive session minutes of April 16th. Not for release at this
time. I'll second that. Any further discussion? We know it's not to be released if someone requests the information or we want need to post it, which we'll probably have to do at some point. probably have to do a redacted copy of this. And I'm not a redaction
expert. Um, should we assess? So, how should we phrase that? To be um, this is for the office only for future for future to be released when it the discussion is resolved.
[Music] Yes. That hurt. Um, rabbit has two T's, right? Sorry, I didn't understand that. Rabbit has two T's, right? Yes. There's a lot of reverberation in here
today. Yeah, there is. We need more people to show up to absorb some of the sound so we don't get echo. So, please, it's entertaining. It's a fun evening out for the whole family.
We just don't have popcorn though. Sorry. Provide could do that. Uh so the minutes of April 16th uh unredacted just for the Yep. Okay. Um, I don't know how you said it, but so
a motion to um approve the minutes for April 16th um with the understanding that they will not be released unless they're redacted until the matter is resolved.
Okay, I'll second that. Any further discussion? None. I I Okay, do you want us to initial this or date it or something? Well, there's a bunch of things you're going to have to fix. Yeah, I'll have Robin. We'll come back in and sign them time. But that sounds good.
Yeah. And you've already looked at May 5th, Miss Cameron. Yes, I have as well. Uh I motion we approve the minutes of May 5th. There is also an address in there. So until it is resolved, I suggest it
may remain unposted. So not for release. not released. So, we just kind of we just take take out any reference to the applicant or their address. The address. Yeah. Everything else is fine. Yeah. Uh and a
redaction typically is a black line right through the through the U phrase that's being redacted. Um and there are a couple changes here. So, I'll I'll just write Okay. Did we vote on that? No. All in
favor? I I now we voted on it. So those could be modified and then we we can come in initial later on. Okay. Thank you. Uh review and approve invoices, expense vouchers, billing errors, etc. Yeah, I
have some chapter land uh I have a lean fee to sign. This was one of the ones, one of the chapter land applications. This is a result of the outreach. Yes, it is. So, we have success. We do. Nice. So, this
one that needs to be signed and then I believe we could Oh, this has to be a notorized signature. It It does. So, so would Sarah just sign it and then Sarah can sign it today and I'll sign it sometime in the office when we get it notorized.
This is uh for property at and we could say the address 150 White Street um for 50 almost 54 acres into chapter what? It's on here
someplace. Forestry should be at the top. Yeah, forestry. Yep. Did you want to read it over? This is another one. Let's finish this one.
Okay, let's finish this one. Uh, I believe we have to move to approve. I move to approve the application for uh 61 for at 150 White Street. 150 White
Street. I'll second that. All in favor? I, as I said, I will sign this. Okay. In front of a notary. Okay, sounds good. That's another relief. This is also the result of our outreach process. Mhm.
Wow. You're making us a lot of money. No, actually keeping us honest is what you're keeping us uh complete. This is for a forestry. It's recreational. This one's recreational.
um at 233 Island Road, 8.9 acres, almost nine. Anything else we should know about this one? Nope. Just that uh I did want to mention that we will be inspecting some of the
61Bs just to make sure that they are still kept in an open and natural state. It's going to be part of the which means they can't go mowing and cutting down stuff. I'll let you take a look at that. I hope they understand. They're not supposed to
be mowing and No. Nope. They don't understand. Well, no, they they they should understand. We actually during our process of going through all these files, we did find a nice write up that we're going to actually present to the homeowners when we mail out the applications
uh in the fall. Nice. And it kind of explains their responsibility and for the chapter that they're in. So, so it's was really nice informational piece. Actually, we found it for all three chapters. I I think people have a lot of trouble understanding the difference
between recreational using it and certain way and what passive recreation means. So, right, hopefully that is clear in that memo you're looking at. Yeah, there's so much that goes into it even for us. I mean, we're I'm get I'm
going to try to make up anformational sheet like I did with the exemptions just to kind of make it easy because there is so much that that Yeah, that's on my list of things to do. And of course, that'd be great. You could always put a web link to the long
detailed explanation if they'd like it. I like that. Uh because those laws are actually have a lot of thorough explanation. Yeah. They're just hard to digest. Yeah. Right. It's just a lot. A lot. But if
you can summarize it much like you you've done with the exemptions, that's that'd be great. That' be great. Just as like a bullet for each one. So, can I suggest um I suggest we accept this into passive recreation land. Is that your motion?
Yes. At 233 Island Road. I will second the motion. All in favor? I I again I'll sign this. Okay. Yep. In the office. The next one is
100 Towns and Harbor Road. This was the right of first refusal. Now, I did the roll back text that I want you to sign. So, I did the actual form for that. I have the the notice of the waiver, the refusal first
refusal option just for your reference and then this is the actual spreadsheet which by the way does include the interest in the spreadsheet. Good. So I wanted to clarify that. So I have the lean plus I have the roll
back tax and there's some extra copies of the roll back tax. So this one's coming is this one's not coming out of chapter though. It's it's a new owner. It's going to be actually sold. Oh, it is. Okay. So, that's the release of the
lean and then the new owner is going to need to put it into chapter if they so choose. Okay. So, that this is the So, we have this to sign plus this is the roll back and there's a breakdown here of the tax and then the interest. Yep. And then this the spreadsheet that
includes how much it was each year. Yep. The spreadsheet is in the back here and It's each year and it's the breakdown. So I just kept the checks with it just just trying to keep it all together because um okay this is for the roll
back for that. And then we are actually for the the leans we have to schedule an appointment with the registry but just so that we can keep control of this we're actually going to the registry to file those leans. We're just requiring that they make out a check. Have
itirectly. So you have it. So we have it. Yeah. Okay. So, is that the process that's going to be followed each time land uh chapter land is sold? At least for right now. Okay. Yeah. I think we needed to get some control just because Yeah. I was
actually talking about um when they come out of chapter, they get they get this bill and then it the chapter land ceases until the next owner of the land files the lean. Yep.
Is that process written down someplace? Well, in the chapter land documentation, the state stuff. The state stuff. Yeah, that's what should be happening. And I did speak with Becky Buché and she said that she when she worked here many moons
ago, she used to even require that the lean wasn't released. But in this case, it's a purchase, so we have to release the lean. Yes. just so that the town is covered, they get the roll back. So in
this case, um we will release lean, but at least we have a system now we can follow up and track everything. So perfect. So do we need to sign anything on here? Just this top page. That page
there. One page. One page. Okay. So yeah, I did make three copies. makes if you if you want to sign all three, that would be good because I have to make one for Mileen and Izzy. So, it's just helpful. And does the notary
have to notoriize all three copies? Uh, I'll have to look at that. I don't have Let me look at that one more time. If if I were not on the on the the lean, but I just want to make sure on that roll back tax, right? The the ro the lean. Yes. I'm not sure if on that phone
if it needs to be known. Okay. So, do we need to vote on these or just accept them? That's that's just documentation. We could this is cuz we're releasing it. We're not right. We're not We're just accepting. Is there another on that form
there? I don't tax collector but no. Yeah. No. So, this No. So, I think this one is doesn't require it. So, okay. I Oh, I don't need to. So, I can sign them right now. sign that. So, we don't need to make a motion because we're signing
it. Yeah. Yes. This one has a notary. Yes, that one will be required notary. Okay. There's so much paperwork at the chapter. You think? Yeah. And I probably will um
also do a commitment as well. I have to do that. So, I'm not sure if that will serve. Reena thought that may serve as the commitment, but this form here, I'll check with Mileen. If I have to do a commitment, I'll I'll let you know in case I need another signature. So, this is the spreadsheet.
And the thing behind the spreadsheet is the a summary of the spreadsheet. Okay. And then nothing to sign here. Yep. That's it. Wait, so that one? Yep. This is just
what on this? I don't think we do. We need to vote on this one because I can't sign it until it's notorized. Oh, I see. I um I motion that we accept the release of the lean on
100 Townsen 100 Towns and Road. That right? Yep. Yep. I'll second that. All in favor? I I and again I'll sign that one when okay we have a notary. All right. Access to a notary.
For those of you watching, I'm sure there a lot of you watching. Um several people here in town hall are notary publiclix. So, uh if you ever need any notorized, come on in. Town clerk's office is got a couple folks. I think there's one or two
others. Uh anything else on those? That's it. Nothing else. Fabulous. I did want to mention I still have those vision invoices that I have requested further explanation. So, we haven't done anything with those till we get that from them on the number of properties
that have been inspected. We just have percentage complete and they are supposed to finish by the end of June, right? Yeah. Well, actually July July 1st. First week in July. Okay. Yep. Um the next item is neighborhood site
index plan. We actually talked about that a bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um I just want to reiterate that is one of several directives and it's probably going to take us three years to get it done. Um we'll be done in time for to meet
the Department of Revenues requirement. Um, do we need to talk about the warrant article? I got the approval from Cathy. This is just a Xerox copy of it. I'm sorry. The state The state approved.
Yeah, both of them. Yep. Well, there you go. That was voted on at town meeting. Is that the one that was voted on at town meeting? Yeah, that was we voted on a little over two weeks ago and it's already been approved by the state. So apparently we didn't mess up the wording
too badly. Tada. Tada. Thanks. So we can take that one off the agenda forever. Yep. That one's gone. I'm I'm glad that's done. Well, there were several things we've done
over the last year and a half to two years. Um this was sort of like the last step, I think, to get our ex exemptions up to date um and current. So, we now know what the starting point is for the future. Uh when they come back with the
uh cola for next year, we'll know what to add to it. So, I think we're in pretty good shape except for the means tested. That one still waiting. Well, we're we're waiting on that which will still need to be done and submitted back
to us by the first Wednesday in September. Uh, you had talked about the chapter lands getting the stuff out to folks so they can get it back to us by December 1st. I I meant to ask, what schedule do you have in your head about when we need
to get stuff out for them? We'll probably do that in July or August. We'll probably send out the application. Okay. Sooner is better than later. So, that's fine. And then we will also start on the exemptions as well to Yep. start the next fiscal year starts all over
again. Yep. And then get ready for um the uh we're moving on, but I wanted to just say how glad I am that the town improved the cola on each of these things because that'll help um adjust
every year for inflation and and other things for all of the people who rely on those, right? And it's the people who the most needy who need these Yeah. to work for them. um our
exemption uh information was out of date or or not complete and we want to make sure that we take care of the folks who need to stay in their homes. So, thank you voters
and also Jack like to encourage and Jack Jack Jack Jack was our advocate for this one and also to feel free to call the office with any questions. We'd be glad to assist anyone if they're questioning the any of the exemptions.
Yep. Yep. Thank you. Um we're down to postponeed topics already. We are. We are. This is probably going to be the earliest we've finished. Good grief. Uh criteria for clause 18. We haven't
started working on that but I want to keep it in front of us because clause 18 is there is the capability for the assessors to give uh tax breaks to people who are in dire straits. Um
unfortunately we need to have consistent criteria in place for for that and we today don't have any written criteria. So until we write the criteria we won't know what it looks like. Um and again it is really aimed at those folks who are
in very dire straits uh to give them maybe a break. Um so we'll we'll take a look at that. Again, it's not that that pressing because we can't really affect anything until next year and but it may be one of
those things that um you know once we've clarified what the criteria are, there may be a couple people in town who who need to take advantage. I think it would be helpful to establish the criteria maybe in the fall or winter before we
start seeing abatement applications. Yeah. So we're sort of separated from those. Uh the other postponeed topic is sort of intermingled with several things. We've talked about the do directives. So we've already spoken about those several times. I don't think we need to review
them right now. We probably had to keep them in front of our ourselves every time. Um, and just say, you know, here are what was it, seven? I think there's seven of them. Um, what here are the seven directives and here's the progress we made on these. Here's the ones we're
postponing until a future time. Um, that way we know we have a plan to get there. So upcoming meetings I guess uh right now we are tentatively
scheduled for June 11th, July 16th and August [Music] 13th. Um since we only have two members at the at this time um we don't have as many calendars to juggle. Um, I know I have some
difficulty with June 16th, but I might be able to make it. I mean, sorry, July 16th. So, July 16th, um, I will need to attend remotely. You'll be what? I will need to attend remotely if it's July 16th. Okay. But I think we we had this
discussion and there was like no time we were both in town, right? So, we'll keep it on the tentatives. Okay. Side. Um June 11th is our next upcoming meeting. If there's any need for us to meet sooner than
that, I don't I don't think there is. No. But if there's any need for us to meet sooner than that, just let us know. We'll try to figure out some time. We intentionally move to a once per month schedule for the summer just because it's virtually impossible to get
anybody all the calendars coordinated. Uh, and a lot of the work is sort of not focused in that time of year. So, it's the it's the better time for those breaks. Is there somebody online? I don't see anybody online.
I thought I saw something flash up there, but Oh. Oh, okay. Thank you. Um, so we will we'll stick with those dates. June 11th, July 16th, and August 13th.
Um, unless there's anything else, um, we'll be closing the open port portion of the meeting shortly. Um, is there any there's no one online for the public? So, I'm assuming there's no public comment. Uh, any comment from the
board? None. None for me either. So, uh, I will entertain a motion to adjourn to move into executive session. A motion we adjourn to enter into executive session, not to return to open
session after exiting executive session under purpose 7 to comply with or act under the authority of any general or special law or federal grant and need requirements. I have to read the rest of this. I don't know. I think you probably ought to while we're here. Um and the purpose of
the executive session is as follows. Applications for abatement or exemption under this chapter shall except in proceedings before the county commissioners, the appellet tax board or a court of the commonwealth be open only to the inspection of the assessors, the
commissioner, the deputies, clerks and assistants of either the assessors or the commissioner and such other officials or designated private auditors of the commonwealth. That would be chapter 59 section 60 of MGL Massachusetts law as the law being
cited. I will second that motion. Any further discussion on executive session and adjourning the open meeting? All in favor? I I we are adjourned.
