Summary

The committee voted 3-0 to comply with Chief Assessor Deb Brunel—s request to appoint Grant Schlossstein to the Board of Assessors. Schlossstein, a longtime Holyoke resident and real estate attorney, told the panel he plans to remain in the city and serve through retirement.

The Holyoke Public Service Committee voted unanimously on Nov. 20 to approve a request from Chief Assessor Deb Brunel to appoint Grant Schlossstein to the Board of Assessors and to forward that recommendation to the full City Council.

Grant Schlossstein, who said he has been a Holyoke resident since 1998, described himself as a real estate attorney with more than 20 years— experience and work in administrative hearings and appeals. He told the committee he stepped into the assessor—s office in April to fill a vacancy and said he has "no plans of leaving Holyoke." He said he intends to serve with the assessors until he retires.

Councilors thanked Schlossstein for filling a transition need while the chief assessor is on leave. Councilor Graney moved to "comply with" the appointment recommendation; the committee recorded three ayes, 3-0, and Burgos said the full City Council will consider confirmation at its next meeting.

The transcript records the committee—s action as compliance with the assessor—s request rather than a final appointment; final confirmation will be at the full council meeting.
