PERIOD FOR GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT
Laurie Ortolano, 41 Berkeley Street. | wanted to get back to you a little bit on some of the work that I’ve
been doing and continue to do with the assessing issues; looking forward to seeing the report coming out
on the first. | wasn’t expecting it out so soon so that’s great. | did file my PA71 with the State and | got
my abatement in. | went to the Board of Assessors and they said — Well you know it would have been
nice if you had waited until the City had filed their report. But | had a deadline both at the State level and
with my abatement. So | had to have my report in to the State by the first of March and | had to have the
abatement in by the 1* of March so | can’t wait for a City report to come out. | want you all to know that,
that wasn’t an option at the State level for me either. So that is why | moved forward.
| am looking forward to seeing the information with the changes to potentially the technology and how we
can access information because | see that as obstacles. But | am not going to tell you that | don’t see
some really significant personnel issues as well and those aren’t up for discussion; | understand that. But
the technology isn’t going to fix the issues alone because it is the people behind it that make all the
difference in the world and | cannot overlook that given what we have gone through and given what | see
in there.
