Ot tf:�;�.f.. - v�
Commencing August 21,2002, I have served in the Assessor's office in the capacity of
acting department head.
I have performed all administrative tasks regarding New York State Real Property Laws.
Although we have an acting Assessor to value properties, I have performed the day to da
administrative duties to insure this office meets all criteria for maintenance aid — y
exemption administration, grievance, Board of Assessment Review, and preparation of
tentative and final rolls. Above all, I have met the highest standards for public relations
and service.
I request that my salary be increased to reflect the responsibilities I carry in excess of
those of an Assessor's Aide, and that I be compensated for the year and eight months that
I have been acting as department head.
Sincerely,
Loretta
