Board of Assessors Minutes <br />January 16, 2010 <br />...continued) <br />Page, 2 of 3 <br />Mr. Nordstrand noted that the projected $25,000 appraisal costs were in anticipation <br />of justifying the tax assessed value of the so-called Addison-Wesley site (among <br />others). <br />Mr. Nordstrand further noted that given that a triennial year is approaching, the <br />budget request for public hearings was in anticipation of the number of public <br />hearings which may have to be held in response to the new assessed values after the <br />new tax bills get mailed out. He further noted that given that the Town is currently <br />without a full-time Town Appraiser, the Board may have to incur costs to bring back <br />former town employees who would need to be available for the hearings. <br />Mr. Colorusso added that given the current economic conditions, more people are <br />expected to file for abatements. Moreover, personnel time would be absorbed <br />examining the various taxpayer properties which have requested abatements: He <br />further noted that triennial property inspections are required by the Massachusetts <br />Department of Revenue ("DOR") in order that the Town be certified. <br />Following the presentation, Mr. LeLacheur noted that the majority of the budgeted <br />line items appear to be "speculative" in that their usage is dependent upon other <br />activities which may or may not come to pass. Messrs. Nordstrand and Colorusso <br />agreed with that assessment but noted that they felt it wise to have the funds available <br />to fund the various line items as requested. <br />Mr. Hechenbleikner commented that given all of the various issues facing the Board <br />of Assessors; he wondered if it might be wise to request that the revaluation process <br />be postponed. Mr. Nordstrand replied that the Board of Assessors has made that <br />inquiry to the DOR and was informed that the chances that the same would be <br />approved were "slim to none." <br />r <br />
