Thomas Todd - Supervisor Marlene Luss - Town Clerk 1 SI !1 rl I cI {f1 I } k 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 January 11 , 1966 Irair The regularemo .nthly meeting of the Town Board was called to order by Supervisor Todd at 8 O ' clock January 11 , 1966 .

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 .

Seven members one from each of the seven districts , also balance employers , not all seven say from Cornell , Agway et .
