Summary

Board members discussed compensating board-of-assessment reviewers for extra hours worked during grievance periods, including a prior one-time $20/hour payment; members asked staff to compile historical hours before changing policy.

Speaker 1 recounted that during the last assessment cycle the board of assessment review worked extended hours and proposed compensating members for overtime—citing the prior $20/hour one-time payment. Members asked for data on how many hours the assessment board spent in recent off-years before approving any change to the voucher or pay procedure.

Clerk (speaker 7) and other board members described the procedure used to create vouchers (based on assessor letters) and noted current vouchers do not include the extra hours; the board asked staff to collect historical minutes and ledgers so the full board can consider a resolution at the next regular meeting.
