Administrator’s Report –
• Lauderdale, Kirch, and I set up a solicitation package for assessment services. Felt it was time to explore what was available. Five bids were received: Accurate - $44,500; Schultz - $48,300; Associated - $54,900; Tyler - $73,600; and Grota - $78,900. Were previously charged little over $30,000 per year by Schultz. Need for additional services for the next three years: annual maintenance, market adjustments on annual basis, and an exterior revaluation, which hasn’t been done since 2006 and will be done again in 2012. Accurate was chosen and has already begun the process of reviewing our documents and is taking phone calls.
• Lauderdale, Boss, and I met with Fred Burkhart, VP of WCEDA for potential planned development in the Town of Geneva.
• Hard work put into producing an employee handbook. Plan on requesting all elected and Town officials sign the acknowledgement form. Feel it is very important that they be aware of the Town’s commitment to have a workplace free of harassment. Confident they will all be supportive of the Town’s position to follow state and federal guidelines.
