Department had been upgraded from a class three to a class two. Of the 25 Westchester Departments only

AFFAIRS OF THE TOWN
1. Update-Hurricane Irene Response
Mr.Altieri stated that the Town will be debriefing over the next two weeks, noting there are always ways
to improve.
Supervisor O'Keeffe noted that County Executive Robert Astorino visited the Village of Mamaroneck and
met with Mayor Norm Rosenblum. There is hope that resources might be available to the Village residents
so badly impacted.
The Board noted the flow of water from the east branch of the Sheldrake River.This was very unusual for
water to be coming from this branch versus the west branch which is always heavy, but controllable.
Mr.Altieri noted that he will prepare for the Town Board a tally of the costs of this storm.
2. Report of Proposals&Award of Contract—Property Revaluation Project
Aditionally present:
Susan Thomas,Town Assessor
Tom Frey, Project Administrator
Mr.Altieri explained that for a number of years the Town has discussed the value of doing a town wide
reassessment. The Town appointed a Citizens Advisory Committee which recommended a revaluation.
The Board deferred the matter when their appeared to be movement by the County for a County
revaluation. The County has not pursued revaluation, nor does it appear it will any time soon. In the
intervening years the Town continued to reevaluate the amount of money the Town,School and Villages'
spend on refunding taxes. Over the last seven to eight years the Town continues to see reductions in
assessed valuations. Those reductions have impacted our tax rate and our budget.Specifically in the last
two budgets this has driven about one to one and a half percent of the tax rate increase. Putting these
factors together,it would appear that it is the right time to initiate a revaluation project. To this end,the
Town Board has authorized the preparation of an RFP process and the acceptance of those proposals.
Mr.Altieri introduced the Revaluation Project Manager Mr.Tom Frey. Mr.Altieri explained that Mr. Frey
has been selected by the Town Board based on his expertise having been the project manager for several
revaluation projects,as well as having served as the Executive Director of the NYS Assessors'Association.

September 7, 2011
Mr. Frey addressed the audience and began with a detailed summary of the process to date and an analysis
of the two contractors who have bid for this project.
Mr.Altieri reviewed the cost of the project, noting specific line items as detailed in his memo before the
Board.
Supervisor O'Keeffe asked Mr.Altieri to explain the proposed financing for this project.
Mr.Altieri stated that the proposal is for a Bond Anticipation Note at.03%,adding this is an incredible rate.
The interest on this would be approximately$7,000 a year. In the next year the Town Board will then
decide whether to finance this long term,or bundle this with other notes.
Councilman Fishman noted that the Town needs to create a policy to continue revaluation each year or
every five years.
Mr.Altieri stated that he would recommend every two to three years.
Councilwoman Seligson stated that the Town Board has been discussing this for many years. It is a fact that
assessments are all out of whack and ultimately not fair and equitable. We as the Town Board have a
fiduciary responsibility to tax fairly and not for the Town to pay out hundreds of thousands of dollars in
litigation because the Town cannot stand by our tax roll because it is based on the nineteen twenties.
Councilman Odierna stated that at the end of this process it is the goal of this Board that residents feel the
process is fair.
Supervisor O'Keeffe stated that it is important that residents understand the process and that opinions are
not based on misinformation. The Board emphasized in the RFP the importance of community outreach
and public information session.
Councilwoman Wittner noted her support of the contractor being selected this evening,adding they did an
excellent job with their proposal.Councilwoman Wittner has full confidence that they will do a good job.
On motion of Councilman Fishman,seconded by Councilwoman Wittner,the following was approved,
WHEREAS, based on discussions and meetings of the Town Board and the information
and presentations by GAR Associates being more relevant to the Town's need,with the
added comfort level of their presence in New York State and general sense that these
are people who are both experienced and understand the needs of this community it
is,
RESOLVED,that the Mamaroneck Town Board does hereby award the contract for the
Town's Revaluation Project to GAR Associates,Albany, NY at a cost of $919,000 with
additional fees as follows:
2014—Update $108,750
