Berkley Board of Assessors approves minutes, lists $3,341.84 software support payment and reviews Chapterland applications
Summary
At its Oct. 16 meeting, the Berkley Board of Assessors unanimously approved the Oct. 9 minutes, noted a $3,341.84 payment to Quality Data Services for annual software support, reviewed Chapterland applications and voted to enter executive session.
The Berkley Board of Assessors met Oct. 16, 2024, at 5:08 p.m. in Room 9 of the Assessors Office. Chairman Mark Pettey Jr called the meeting to order and the board unanimously approved the minutes from its Oct. 9 meeting after a motion by Member Lisa Tetreault and a second from Pettey.
The board recorded a listed payment to Quality Data Services (QDS) for annual software support in the amount of $3,341.84. The minutes do not record a mover or a roll-call vote for that listed payment; the action appears on the meeting docket under "Pay Various Bills."
Assessor Gary Hoitt informed the board that he provided members with the Special Town Meeting (STM) warrant and a debt-exclusion information sheet and noted that Berkley’s valuations are pending preliminary certification approval by the DOR (Department of Revenue). The minutes state that the "Notice of Public Disclosure of Preliminary Property Values for Fiscal Year 2025" has been posted on the town website. The minutes also note that property data collection in Berkley is ongoing.
The minutes say Jeanne Russo completed an initial draft of an information pamphlet for Berkley residents; the board did not record distribution timing or next steps in the text. The minutes also note that Assessor Gary Hoitt is scheduled to teach an Excel class Oct. 17, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. for BCAA in Taunton (the minutes do not expand the BCAA acronym).
During administrative business the board reviewed Chapterland applications. The minutes record that the board approved those applications judged complete and correct and will send approval notifications; applicants with incomplete or incorrect submissions will be told to take corrective measures.
At 5:14 p.m. Member Lisa Tetreault moved to enter executive session and not return to open session; Chairman Pettey seconded and a roll-call vote was unanimous to enter executive session. The meeting was later adjourned on a motion by Tetreault and second by Pettey; the minutes record the meeting adjourned at 6:05 p.m. The minutes were prepared by Assessor Gary Hoitt.
The minutes do not record any public comment, contested votes, or motions beyond those described above. Where the minutes summarize an item without a recorded mover, specific vote, or timeline (for example, the QDS payment and the information pamphlet), those details are not specified in the text.
