1. The tax rate, which was submitted for approval on 11/16/94, was
approved on November 17, 1994 at the estimated $17.34 per thousand.
As I stated before, this is the lowest increase in the tax rate since
FY1989, 01/01/88. The bills are still targeted to be mailed on
12/16/94. Given this target date, the applications for abatement
will be due no later than 5:00 PM 01/17/95 and the exemptions will
be due no later than 5:00 PM 03/17/95.
2. All of the docketed appeals at the ATB have been settled; all FY1993
contentions. I have prepared copies of exerpts from Steve Gasperoni's
appraisal of MacDonald's and Sonny's Touchless. Given the submission
of Mr. Gasperoni's appraisals, I have processed his bill for payment,
$7,000.00; 3,500.00 each appraisal.
3. All of the FY1995 forms for abatement and exemptions have been ordered
and received. I have also updated for FY1995 the application for abat-
ment cover page and addendum. These two pages where editted last year
and where printed using that format.
4. Sales Verification Questionnaires, which remained as they were last
year, have been printed and will be mailed by the end of the week.
They are being sent to all of the sales that occurred between 01/01/94
and 09/30/94. As soon as we get the deeds in for the remainder of
the year, we will mail the balance. Given the registry of deed's pace
we can anticipate having these completely mailed by 01/30/95.
5. The Reading Housing Authority has sent invitations to each Board
member inviting you to attend their open house 12/03/94 at 503
Summer Ave. between 10:00 and 11:30 AM. I can reserve attendance
for anyone interested on 11/30/94.
6. Attached is the FY1995 Assessors Office Schedule which is being
submitted for the Board's review and comment.
