 Okay, we are recording. Okay, and I'm going to read the opening language pursuant pursuant to chapter 20 of the acts of 2021 this meeting will be conducted by remote means members of the public who wish to access the meeting. They do so via zoom or by telephone. No in person attendance of members of the public will be permitted. But every effort will be made to ensure that the public can address access proceedings in real time by technological means. And do we have any members of the public. No. So I don't have to read the public comment section. Okay. So then I will share my screen and get up the. Can we all see that. Yes, yeah, make it a little bigger. Thank you. Okay. All right. So first thing then on the agenda is to approve the minutes from the last two meetings. The April 21, 2022 meeting minutes. And I believe you guys both had those in an email. And then the second ones are the May 26, 2022 meeting minutes and again I think that you will have those in the email as well. No, go ahead. Go ahead like. Move for acceptance of both of those sets of minutes. Second. All in favor. I. Okay, excellent. And we will move along to our exercise abatements. So here we have the single exercise abatement for calendar year 2022 for the week of 523 through. Well, for the day of 523 2022. This abatement is in the amount of $69 and 68 cents. Move that our signatures be placed on on that abatement. All those in favor. Okay. Moving along we have calendar week, 5959 through 520. You'll see one abatement for calendar year 2020 in the amount of $95 and 92 cents. You will see two for calendar year 2021 in the amount of 188 24. And then there are 10 for calendar year 2022 in the amount of $684 and 31 cents. All of those years added up with those abatements totally $968 and 47 cents. Move for placement of our signatures on the abatement from May 9 through May 20. Second. All those in favor. Aye. Okay. So here again we have week, June 1 through June 10. One abatement for calendar year 2020 in the amount of $19 and 39 cents to abatements for calendar year 2022 in the amount of $216 and 71 cents and 17 for calendar year 2022. And $1,406 and 21 cents for a total of all three years $1,642 and 31 cents. And move for approval of our signatures on this abatement from June 1 through June 10. All those in favor. Oh, forgot the second second. All those in favor. Aye. Okay, moving along. Refresh my memory these abatements come from the state, is that correct. No, these are abatements that people have come into the office to apply for, for example, looks like this one, the very top one in the next two and a bunch of the ones in 2022 we're all vehicle that was so Okay, let me come in and ask for an abatement for 2010. No, it's too late you only have three years, three years, okay, three years and less. So if you have not paid an excise tax bill from 2010, and it's at the deputy collector and you maybe have been out of state, and you're coming back into state you're not going to be able to register your vehicle until you pay that. So once you pay it. Say you've gotten rid of that vehicle and you have all that proof that you've done so. If you did it in calendar year 2010. Then you would be able to come to our office provide that proof after you've paid it you get one year to process that abatement. Okay, got it. Thanks. No problem. All right, so the next thing on the list is the warrant to the collector for excise. So this is the file that has come to us from the registry of motor vehicles this is the third file that we've gotten this calendar year. And this committed amount of the amount that we expect to collect is $106,717 and 63 cent. You will see that here in bold. This is the statement to the collector. And then again you'll see here the same amount of money. 1006. Whoops, that doesn't look like the same number. There it is. Okay, one, 106,717 dollars and 63 cents. This page here is for the accounting office and then you'll just see this final total here coming out of munis so you can see that we entered it and I'm highlighting that amount there because that is the amount that we are expecting to collect from this commitment as you can see here there are seven bills that are exempt. So they may be state owned vehicles, town owned vehicles, some entity that is tax exempt something to that nature. So that's why you see that total highlighted there, rather than the 112. So again, the amount that we're expecting to collect and committing to the accounting office and the tax collector is the 106,717 dollars and 63 cents. Can you explain the exempt again. Sure, so there are a total of, let me see if I can, there's a total of 558 bills that have come to us from the registry of motor vehicles. Seven of those vehicles are exempt. So those could be state owned vehicles they could be, for example, they could be police cars they could be fire trucks. They could be ambulances. If that's not what they are they could be DBW vehicles, they could be an exempt entity so someone who files with the state to be exempt and is approved, then has to file with us to get exemptions such as excise and a potential real estate abatement, or I should say real estate exemption. So this is, this is something that would be approved by the state prior to getting to us. And what we do is we mark them exempt in the computer system so that we don't have to bill them and then abate the bill. So at this point, okay, I recognize that they're there. But then we just, we mark them as exempt so that we're not billing for them. Okay. Move that our signatures be placed on the commitment. In favor. Aye. Aye. Okay. Excellent. So we'll move on to a rollback tax. Now, you may recognize this because this was a property that we previously had billed for. It's a property located on Montague. It's Montague road. It's, it's 63. And what it is is very was a large, multiple large parcels that were in chapter 61. And there was, there was a solar front that was put into the, to the property. I didn't realize when I had originally done the rollback tax is that only a portion of this particular parcel was being removed from chapter. So I had build a rollback tax for the, for the entire property. So this is a correction. So this actual rollback tax for this parcel is on 1.65 acres and is in the amount of $1,560 and 97 cents. The page here you see is for the tax collector. You'll see again the same amount here on the page for the accounting. And then you will see the lean that I actually put together here, explaining what amount is what. You can see here down at the bottom, the rollback actual tax and then the interest there is the $204. I remember the transaction or the, where you showed the maps and what was going to be actually rollback. Do you remember again. Yes, I do. Okay, good. So, move that there are signatures be placed on this rollback document. Second. All those in favor. I, I. Okay, moving on. Oops, I'm sorry, this was just the page that. Okay, so this page here actually is something that we will have you actually come in and sign. And then we will release of the chapter on the 1.65 acres that will send to the registry of deeds so that it can be recorded and and it will adjust this parcel, I think. Yes, we're only releasing 1.65 acres here. So what will happen is the registry of deeds will release that 1.65 acres and keep the remainder of the parcel in chapter 61. And when you guys have a chance if you can come in and sign this and then we'll have it notarized with the town clerk's office and send it off to the registry of deeds. Do you need three signatures on this or. Nope, just to. Okay. Certainly if Rich wants to come inside it as well he can but we only need to have to. It's just somebody needs to sell rich if you want to. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to stop sharing my screen for the moment because that's all the documents we have. Next on the agenda would be the double check here. Getting getting some help there. I am. Yeah, pull for the summer. He know he goes to take care. Oh, today's one of the days he's normally with grandparents so. Okay. So the next thing is the assessor update and basically what we're doing right now is working on building permits and getting ready to really ramp up our end of the year. Projects to get our tax rates set. So we have, you know, we have our daily stuff our excise our phone calls emails all that stuff. Tracy's been working on getting the personal exemption applications ready to go out in the mail to those who have been approved in the past. And I think we will be mailing those out the end of the month. Until after July 1, so we usually try to wait and send them out so that people don't get confused and send them early. And so yeah, I mean it's really it's really been a lot of, you know, clean up, clean up the end of the year stuff and get ready to really start working on. Whoops. We lost Ken. We lost Ken. We'll have to pause for a moment until we get a forum. Hi Teresa. Hi, how are you. Okay, and you. I'm okay. Good. Maybe Ken had enough. I'm just gonna step away while we're waiting for Ken to come back I'll be right back. Okay. A couple weeks ago I was involved in producing a webinar. Oh yeah. And we had a moderator, we're all remote and we had four panelists everybody's remote. And the moderator was, you know, we were just ready to start a 630 and his computer went down. Oh no. Technology is technology is wonderful when it's working right. Yeah, luckily we had a script so that we could, you know, we could keep it going after about five minutes. And he was transferring everything over to his wife's computer so. Yeah, it took him a while. It was fun. It was fun. It's frustrating when that happens. Yeah. Yeah. I wonder what happened again. Yeah. It's weird. Let me see if I can give him a call. If I have a number. Yes, I do. I'm trying to call Ken. Okay. Hey, Ken. Oh, okay. So you can try to log. Okay, good. Okay, we'll stand by. Okay. Yeah, that's funny. I wondered if that happened. Right. Well, hopefully that will be quick. We. We'll be able to go into executive session momentarily. Forty again now. Okay. So we should be recording. Yes, you are. Okay. All right. So, as I was saying, basically what we're doing right now is just getting ready for the. Okay. So, I'm going to go ahead and take a look at what's going on in the office. I've been doing this for a year. And all the inspections that we need to do. I've been out doing some building permit inspections. Which are anybody who pulls a permit. I go out and take a look to see what's been done. There's been a lot of new construction. So we're looking at a good amount of new growth. And so that's, that's pretty much what's going on in the office right now. So that's, that's really the. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So that is also just sort of. We've, we've spoke with Lauren. She's been out to her office. She took record cards that she had, she had asked for. And she's done her part of the inspections. The, the rest of that really goes hand in hand with the end of the, the fiscal year. All the normal things we do the inspections and things like that. So I think that's, that's, that's, that's, you know, I think it's under way, but not too far into the process yet. Just because it's just the timing of the year. Like I said, within the next month or two, we should really be well on our way with all of that. What about hiring somebody to help you with us? So we, we put out a request for a bid. Back. One or two ago and we received one bid. That was a request from a couple of associates. And so he will be assisting us with this process. Okay. See also doing inspections to help you catch up on those or. Yes. Okay. Yep. That's part of that contract. So he'll be helping us with. Any and all inspections that need to be done. And also just the end of the year, you know, gathering all the reports and the information. Putting that all together. He'll be assisting with that as well. Okay. So do you feel like you're sort of a little behind on the inspections from previous years because of COVID and stuff? Have a little. Little, yeah. So there. Every city in town throughout. Well, probably, I mean, depending on the requirements, I don't know about each state. But at least in the state of Massachusetts, everybody's a little bit behind. I mean, I think that's a little bit of a difference. But I think that's a little bit of a difference. And we do, we will be putting out. Another bid. For that particular, for the cyclicals, which is the 10 year program. Where we have to inspect. Or at least attempt to inspect every property. And so like I said, I don't think we're. Unreasonably far behind with that. But certainly, you know, something that we'll need to work on and something that. Roy will bid on that as well. And if he gets that, then, you know, something that we'll work on with him. If it's someone else, again, it's something that. The office will work with that firm to help. Get those inspections done in a more timely manner. So the tenure, do you have to be caught up by the end of the year? Or do you have more? So it is. So this, this 10 year program has, the state has given out extensions. So we do have one extra year. Okay. However, that means that. The next round will only be nine years because we're getting that extension this year, which, which should be fine. There's no problem with that. Hopefully you want to go over it again. I know. I know. Hopefully we won't have any odd situations like this where, you know, we, we can't do anything or go anywhere. Or so. Okay. What about the tax, the residential exception presentation? Any update on that? No. Okay. At this point, we're just waiting on the council to tell us when they want to, if they want to. Could you please send us a draft of the presentation. I'm sorry. I meant to do that last week. Yes. I will send you that or last month. I apologize. I'm sorry. Good. There's a project going on. That's a corner of Southeast and. Well, near the corner of Southeast and, and, and, um, Maine. Um, you know what that is. It's right next to the, to the. Yeah. It'll put up any signs. Yeah. What it is. Right behind the Florence bank. Oh, that's yes. That is going to be an apartment building. It's possible that the bottom is going to be retail. It's, it's a little bit, I think, up in the air right now. But that is, it's going to be a, an apartment complex. Is that by Roberts or by somebody in town? No. That's all right. I just drew the sketch and it took me four days to get that sketch right because it's a funny shape. And then we put the preliminary bills into the billing system the other day and that was the one that was causing an issue. So I should know this one. That's all right. Don't worry about it. It's been in the works for a long time. Yeah. I think that there was, I think COVID really actually hurt that because it should have been up and done by now. But I think the cost and just the, you know, the cost and demand and the want to actually spend all that money to put up a building was sort of halted. And now obviously, as you can see, it started moving again. Okay. Yeah, thanks. You're welcome. All right. Well, the next thing we can quickly discuss then is the next meeting time. Okay. Let me see. So. We are looking at July. We can do, I won't be available. The 21st, but I can do the rest of the month. Okay. So we're not going to do the 21st. Right. We're not going to be able to do the rest of the month. We're not going to be able to run the meeting, but that's good because that's my wife's birthday. Well, we don't want to do that then. Are you available that weekend? No, I'm gone all week. I don't know the following week. 28. Yeah, we could do that. Okay. 28. Yeah. And it's nine o'clock working. Okay. Or 930, I should say. That's okay. Okay. And then our next schedule meeting will be July 28th at 930 a.m. And so what we want to do now is going to executive session. We have an excise. You see, we have an excise abatement. You're going to stop recording or. I will. We have. Two, two evaluations and an excise abatement to discuss during. The next thing we want to do is we want to, we want to do a motion to enter into executive session. And then the next thing we want to do is to. End the meeting immediately. After executive session. So we do not plan to come back into public section. Correct. So if we can do a motion to enter. Into a session and then I will stop recording. Move to enter into executive session. Second. All those in favor. Aye. Aye. Okay. Excellent. I will stop recording.
