2020.04.13 Council Agenda Item 4

Summary

Order to request the Town Manager to suspend the townwide property revaluation project.

A public comment period will be included with this item.

ACTION: Council action is anticipated.

Description

At the January 13 Council meeting, the Council discussed, with public input, and considered a supplemental appropriation to either fund (a.) the statistical market analysis and the revaluation [with an option to not consider the revaluation after review of the statistical market analysis] or (b.) only the revaluation. The Council approved a supplemental appropriation to fund option b. 

The Town entered into a contract with Vision Government Solutions to conduct the townwide revaluation under the supervision of Cumberland County Regional Assessing, which provides real and personal property assessing services to the Town. Currently, work on the revaluation is on schedule. Data collection and inspections were set to begin in April. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak and current economic uncertainty, the Council will consider an order to request the Town Manager to suspend the townwide property revaluation project.
