TOWN OF DRYDEN
DRYDEN , NEW YORK
*
IN THE HEART OF FINGER LAKES REGION
BENSON & LEE ' S REPORT
Mr . Supervisor & Members of the Board
As charged by the previous Supervisor and Town Board , this Committee
respectfully submits the following in regards to the vacancy of the
Town .Assessor .
In pursuit of the objective to secure the services of a competent
Assessor , the following steps have been or are being taken :
1 . A vacancy notice was published during the months of
October & November in the New York State Assessors
Journal .
2 . Information on this vacancy has been disseminated by
word of mouth , by both old and new Town Board Members .
3 . 100 hand bills giving general information on this position
will be distributed at the New York State Assessors
Meeting , January 9 , 10 and 11th in Rochester , New York .
Since January 1 , 1966 our Town has been without the services of an
Assessor . I .n view of this , we must direct ourselves to a most
serious question :
Can we tolerate this vacancy until a new Assessor has been
appointed , knowing very well of the backlog of work being created ,
knowing very well of the increased burden on other Town officials
who are inexperienced in this field , and knowing very well that
Assessor services are a vital and essential responsibility to our
citizens ?
The answer is obviously NO !
In substantiation of this answer this Committee submits the following :
1 . During the past week the number of citizens requesting
assistance from the Assessor ' s Office , has made it
abundantly clear to the Town Clerk and Deputy Clerk that
' immediate help is needed .
2 . There are nearly 100 property transfers here now waiting
to be processed by an Assessor .
3 . The County re - appraisal has caused a back log of some
500 new property transfers yet to be received for our
Assessor ' s processing .
TOWN OF DRYDEN
DRYDEN , NEW YORK
4",', . ,
-�
IN THE HEART OF FINGER LAKES REGION
Once our new assessment roll is received , all computations
4 must be checked for accuracy and the property cards must
be correlated with the new tax maps to insure accuracy .
5 . Because of the anticipated increase in property
assessments , there can be no doubt that our Grievance
days will be well attended . The importance of being
prepared with accurate data cannot be under estimated .
This Committee recommends the following to our new Supervisor and
Town Board .
1 . We recognize that no difficulty may prevail in just filling
this vacancy , but we strongly urge a diligent search to
identify a competent Assessor . In this pursuit we fully
✓ ecognize and appreciate the critical importance of
professional services in this appointment - that failure i
i
o n our part to accomplish this objective could be a
costly error .
III 2 . In view of expected heavy grievance attendance , we
✓ ecommend evening hours and Saturday A . M . prior to
o fficial grievance days in an effort to reduce problems . ,
We recommend that Supervisor Todd immediately correspond
3 � with all applicants who have filed , giving them a
ro ress report .
.
p g p
4 •
We recommend that any prospective applicant take an
appropriate and reasonalbe exam applying, to the Profession
o f Assessing .
5 .
We recommend that this Town Board support the position
that the number of hours worked is not the ALL important
job criterion of the Town Assessor , but the important
question whether or not he is providing a fair and
equitable tax roll with a minimum number of grievances .
6 . We recommend recognition of the fact that the tasks of
an assessor carry him into the Town frequently , and that
a 2 way radio should be installed in his vehicle for
regular contact by the Town Clerk and Supervisor .
r 7 . We recommend strong consideration be given for a
position of Depty Assessor , so as to help alleviate the
concerns for any future vacancies .
8 . We recommend that a new Assessor whould keep regular
office hours , at his discretion , but unanimously approved
by the Town Board

of Health in Ithaca , New York about Sewerage Approval for a five unit
apartment he is interested in putting up . He further reported that when
the representative came out to Varna to see him , he was told he had only
100 ' frontage and that 150 ' was required . A soil test was not made at
that time and Mr . Tillapaugh felt that the Board of Health was doing a
little zoning on its own for the Town of Dryden and he felt something
should be done about it . It was decided that Supervisor Todd should go
to the Board of Health and see Mr . Liguori , and then contact Mr . Tillapaugh
in regards to this matter .
Mrs . Trencher of Varna brought a Girl Scout Troop to observe a Town
Board Meeting so they might earn a badge .

Councilman Benson reported that the Planning Board meetings were not well
attended by the members , and he felt they should be encouraged to draw up
a set of by - laws and in doing so they could take action on this sort of
thing . He further reported that an Agricultural representative may be
appointed for a period of five years . The Board has not had an Agricultural
representative since the resignation of Alex Saroka . He felt that George
Hanford should be appointed Agricultural representative and then appoint
some one from this end of Town to replace him . Councilman Lee reported
that he felt it might be a good idea if this membership was balanced . Seven
members one from each of the seven districts , also balance employers , not all
seven say from Cornell , Agway et . Councilman Benson will discuss the
Agricultural representative and distribution of membership with Pete Curtis
and then report to the Town Board .

WATER DISTRICT - VARNA
Dennis Moran of O ' Brien & Gere was present , and at this time reported
o n the progress of the Water District for the Hamlet of Varna . A map
o f the district , estimate and formation schedule is attached .
Mr . Moran reported that the cost is down due to the fact that a meter
pit will not have to be installed , as the Town of Ithaca will meter
the water . This amounts to $ 5000 under the feasibility study .
Mr . Todd reported that the City of Ithaca would do all the physical
maintenance , which would cut down on cost , and Mrs . Amdur reported
that she is still trying for some money through the F . H . A .
Councilman Lee suggested at this time that a rate be set that we can
substantiate . Mr . Moran worked every possible combination to see what
would be most advantages to the single dwelling , State of New York and
Taggin Wagon Park . It was finally decided that the most advantages is
as follows :
