Landowner and assessor urges grant-funded data collection instead of full re‑evaluation
Summary
Rob Bick, a Lake Ozonia landowner and New York State assessor, suggested the town pursue a grant-funded data collection study (possibly with other towns) to aid assessment accuracy rather than a full re-evaluation; the board discussed but took no action.
During Privilege of the Floor, Rob Bick introduced himself as a Lake Ozonia landowner and a New York State assessor and recommended pursuing a grant to complete a data collection study—potentially in collaboration with neighboring towns—instead of performing an immediate full re‑evaluation. He said data collection would help assure assessment accuracy, in his view.
Board members discussed the suggestion but the minutes record no formal motion or action resulting from the comment. The board had already opened a re‑evaluation Reserve Fund for $20,000 earlier in the meeting; Bick's proposal was presented as an approach to gather data that could inform any future re-evaluation planning.
