Rome Select Board discusses revaluation contract; tax-card digitization to be credited
Summary
The Board discussed a revaluation contract with Caldwell Municipal Assessing & Consulting; Caldwell updated his quote to show that digitizing tax cards would be credited against revaluation costs and the town will back up tax cards on a server, allowing payments to be spread over time.
The Town of Rome Select Board discussed a proposed revaluation contract with Caldwell Municipal Assessing & Consulting during its Feb. 16 special meeting. The consultant, identified in the transcript as “Caldwell,” updated his quote to clarify that the cost of digitizing the town’s tax cards would be shown as a credit against the overall revaluation cost.
Board members discussed the practical effect of that change: by beginning digitization now and applying the credit, the town would pay for records conversion incrementally rather than incurring the full revaluation cost in a single year. The transcript also records that the town is protecting its tax cards by backing them up on a server.
The discussion was recorded in the meeting minutes but no formal vote or contract award is shown in the transcript. The board’s comments indicate interest in managing costs and preserving records; no final contract decision is recorded in the provided text.
