Commissioners report CCAP conference takeaways: early voting discussed and state reassessment proposals noted
Summary
At the CCAP conference, commissioners said sessions covered early voting models (a week-long, multi-site approach) and discussion of a potential state-driven reassessment timetable that could move to more frequent reassessments over coming decades; the board noted grant support to prepare local assessment staff.
Commissioners recapped sessions at the CCAP conference that examined election administration and property reassessment policy. One commissioner said CCAP recommended trying early voting implemented as a week-long option with a limited number of polling sites and the new 'Sure' system would require daily uploads rather than a single-day count. The same or another commissioner described conversations about state proposals to increase reassessment frequency over coming decades and noted concerns about vendor capacity and costs.
"To, put in that CCAP recommends having early voting," a commissioner said, describing a Tuesday-to-Tuesday model and that counties may not need to have every municipality host a location. Commissioners also discussed possible statewide reassessment timelines and said the county's existing grant includes a position in the assessment office to prepare for in-house reassessments; the transcript records concerns about equity in assessment outcomes for long-tenured homeowners.
