Question 1: I believe the new town manager position has served us well so far. I also feel the budget timeline, with early communication between the council and the departments, helps bring transparency to the process and facilitates conversation and full town planning.
Question 2: The changes being made to the assessors office are a positive move for the town. These changes respond to frustrations felt throughout the town and will allow residents better insight to the annual evaluation process. The department will also have an increased ability to address concerns throughout the year.
