This November 7" meeting is coming up and it will be prior to our next Board of Aldermen meeting. Do

we know if we are going to be able to schedule that as a joint PAC/BOA meeting? And the 14" actually
will be the day after our first November meeting.

President McCarthy
The 14" meeting is being re-scheduled.

Alderwoman Melizzi-Golja

For tax credits?

REMARKS BY THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

Alderman Klee

| would just like to address something that the Mayor had mentioned about the Safe Station Program on
Thursday. | am going to be attending that, the all day program from morning until early evening.

Alderman Lopez

We had a house on Berkeley Street that was kind of an interesting situation that had a fire and the
assessment was very, very low. | knew that wouldn’t be the only property | found; | managed to find
several others that fit in that profile that speak to practices that | just feel have no place in an Assessing
Office. So that deeply disturbs me and it is pretty disappointing.

really a disturbing piece of information on sales verifying. And also, | could not track a pattern like if you
... 2013 was an assessment year, if you bought your house in 2013/2014 and everything had been
equalized to 94% and did they take the home value if it sold that year and bring it to 94%, because that
was the equalized ratio? No they didn’t; they did some, they did us at 97 but they left other homes at
85, 82, you know, $100,000.00 differences.

very well and that | needed assistance. When | held up the letter she looked at me and said, “Aha, you
can write”. Upon further discussion she told me she mailed the letter and | said, “I never received it”.
She told me, “You must've received it because | mailed it to you”. Well | never received the letter.
