yeas, 2 nays and 1 abstained. The plowing by Brian Glatz and

The Treasurer’s report from
November 2006 was read. Motioned by Supervisor Timm, seconded
by Chairman Petersen to accept the report as read. Voice vote,
all in favor, motion carried.
Assessor John Blader explained the
new assessment procedures. Starting with taxes collected in 2008
taxpayers will have an extra 5-day window for paying their
taxes. Another new law says that if someone does not pay his or
her real or personal property taxes, the town or county may
notify the state, which will enforce the payment. Because of
the high sale prices of real estate property, it will be
necessary to have a reassessment again in 2010. The figures he
are currently using are in agreement with the state’s numbers.
John will begin looking at all new construction by the end of
December. The new level of assessment is at 89%, down from 98%.
