BROOKFIELD TOWN BOARD: Special Meeting SEPT 25 (Wed) 7PM - Assessor & Moratorium

Please mark your calendar and plan to attend this SPECIAL Board meeting to consider: Assessor and Extension of the Gas Drilling Moratorium. This is an important meeting... we need to have ON SITE Office Hours for the ASSESSOR...or get a NEW ASSESSOR... several qualified assessors have submitted their resumes...our current Assessor provides on-site hours for the other Towns she covers, but is "refusing" to do so for Brookfield according to Town Officials. The financial impact of the Assessor position is too important to allow this to go on. Add to that, the influx of Amish who aren't going to be able to "hitch up the horse" and head 40 miles to the Assessor; and Sherry Kabana, the Town Clerk, has been handling assessor related questions and paperwork. For what we pay and the financial impact, it is imperative that the TOWN BOARD make sure we receive this coverage. SPECIAL BROOKFIELD TOWN BOARD MEETING Wednesday, SEPT 25 - 7PM - Brookfield Town Hall * Assessor and * Gas Drilling Moratorium Extension

BROOKFIELD TOWN BOARD - Assessor Appointment PENDING

The Town Board has withheld reappointment of the current Assessor, Rhonda Weigand amid criticism that the Assessor has not and does not intend to have regular hours at the Town Hall, although other, smaller Town Accounts do receive this attention from her. While several residents did support her, a number complained about lack of hours, failure to return phone calls or adequately explain procedure. Given the financial impact of real property taxes, we deserve an Assessor with regular hours. The assessor term is SIX years.... Watch for upcoming "Special Meeting"....technically, we have until JAN 2014 to appoint an assessor. Time for the Board to do some HOMEWORK!!!!
