Assessor John Blader spoke to the assembly about the many assessment law changes for 2005; some laws were revised to try to give farmers a tax break and keep them in the farming business. Currently we are at 76.47%; therefore a reassessment will take place in 2005 to get to 100% or within 10% of that. John will send out notices of changes in assessments in April 2005.

Several questions were asked about the budget numbers for the town hall loan, library, brush & mow, state highway aids.
