Summary

Real Property staff won approval for a one-year extension of the tax-bill printing and mailing contract through 2026 and received authorization to participate in an appraisal for the Elderwood property, with a proposed county not-to-exceed share of $10,000.

The committee approved a one-year extension of the county's contract with Applied Business Systems to print and mail tax bills through 2026 and separately authorized the county to join an appraisal for the Elderwood property in Hornellsville, subject to cost apportionment with the town and school.

Real Property staff said they preferred a one-year extension for the vendor and recommended apportioning appraisal costs by assessed value; they recommended a county 'not to exceed' contribution of $10,000 for the Elderwood appraisal. Staff provided assessment figures (about $3,180,000 and $175,700 for two facilities) and noted the county's 2025 tax bill totaled roughly $58,000. Committee members approved both items by voice vote.
