TOWN OF WEYMOUTH REPORT OF COMMITTEE .
Established Under Article 70 Of The Town Meeting Warrant For March, 1959
To The Honorable Board Of Selectmen
and
Citizens Of The Town Of Weymouth
INTRODUCTION:
This Committee was established pursuant to a vote of the March, 1959 Town Meeting under Article 70 of that meeting, which Article reads as follows:
On Petition and By Direction of Selectmen. To see if the Town will vote to amend Article 4, Section 409, of the Town By-Laws by accepting changes in the classification of Pay Grades in Schedule 1 - Salary Scale, as follows:
Change the present classifictaion of Grade S-6, Executive Secretary, Board of Assessors:
1. By limiting position to a non-member of the Board of Assessors.
2. By establishing new and more precise specifications of the duties of the position.
or take any other action pertaining to this petition.
It was MOVED by the Appropriation Committee:
That the Moderator appoint a committee of five to study the subject matter of this Article and report at a future Town Meeting.
Mr. Gunn spoke on the Article.
Comes now the question on the motion by the Appropriation Com- mittee.
UNANIMOUSLY VOTED.
The Committee was appointed by the Town Moderator on July 9, 1959.
Following this meeting, the Committee held two further study meetings and had a public hearing at the Town Hall on November 19. Notice of the public hearing was effected through publication of a news article in the Quincy Patriot Ledger and several Weymouth papers. Eight persons attended this meeting, but only three expressed any opinion. Speaking in support of the recommendations under the Article were Mr. Frank Gunn and Mr. Michael Gillen, citizens of the town, who were also peti- tioners when the Article was submitted for incorporation in the Warrant.
BACKGROUND:
Presently the Board of Assessors is comprised of 5 Assessors, who are elected. It has been the custom for many years for the Assessors to select one member of the Board as Executive Secretary, although it is not re- quired that the Executive Secretary be a member of the Board. Election
262
of the Assessors is rotated in the same manner as the membership of the Board of Selectmen and Commissioners of Public Works are rotated, so that all of its members do not come up for election in a single year.
The Board conducts regular monthly meetings and has other Special Meetings as conditions may require. Very briefly, the function of the Board is to determine an evaluation of each parcel of real estate in the town, together with buildings thereon and such other personal property as may be adapted to industrial or commercial purposes; to maintain ac- curate and continuous records of these evaluations and to hear in the first instance such requests for re-evaluation as may be instituted. Appeals from the decisions of the Board may be taken to the Appellate Tax Board in the Department of Corporations and Taxation for the Commonwealth.
Throughout this country there are a multitude of methods for evalu- ating and appraising property currently in use. Each has its own advan- tages, and likewise, its own limitations. They vary in character from a "sidewalk survey" to an elaborate and detailed appraisal by two or more experts, who then apply established formulas to determine the evaluation - the former method being typical of rural areas and the latter in situa- tions involving multi-million dollar financing of commercial and industrial properties.
Neither of these extremes is used in the town of Weymouth, but the method employed by the Weymouth Board of Assessors is reputed to be sound and one that assures equitable evaluations and a continuity in the method of evaluations from year to year. In brief, the method used in this town is based upon establishing "frontal foot value" for all parcels of property in a given area in the town. This basic value is determined after full consideration of the character of the area - whether it is residential, industrial, limited commercial and so forth; the desirability of location with reference to commuting services, highways, rail facilities, shopping centers and the like. After this value has been established, it is applied to the frontal measurement of the land and an average depth of 100' is assumed. Adjustments are made where the parcel of land exceeds 100' in depth and in situations where the character of the land presents problems, such as swamp, ledge, rights of way, power lines or other unusual condi- tions.
The value of buildings is determined by both and outside and inside inspection of the premises and the application of a value to the number of square feet of floor space.
The method of evaluation used in the town of Weymouth has had general acceptance by banks, private mortgagers, insurance companies, and other lending institutions. A brief summary of the work of the Board of Assessors and the effectiveness of this method of evaluation can readily by determined by an examination of the work of the Board during 1959.
The total valuation of property in the town of Weymouth for 1959 was $115,537,500.00. Individual evaluations were placed on the 11,570 dwelling homes or commercial establishments in the town.
There were only 5 appeals or requests for re-evaluation - 2 of these were withdrawn. This appears to be an average number of appeals each year.
During 1959 evaluations were determined on 213 new buildings and 416 were made after alterations or repairs to existing buildings.
263
In addition, personal visits were made by members of the Board to 507 industrial or commercial buildings and 2,017 re-evaluations of dwell- ing homes were made to determine the increased value resulting from re-surfacing of streets, installation of side walls or retaining walls or other improvements for which no betterment charges are made by the town.
The evaluations mentioned in the preceding paragraph total 3,153 and these were made by 4 Assessors working on a part-time basis.
THE PROPOSAL:
In addition to the 3 specific changes set forth in Article 70, the pro- ponents for this Article have indicated:
a) that the number of elected Assessors should be reduced from 5 to 3:
b) that the Executive Secretary be appointed by the Board of Assessors;
c) that the Executive Secretary should have tenure of office; and
d) that the evaluation of properties will be made by the Executive Secretary, who would also act in the capacity of an Office Mana- ger and that the 3 elected Assessors would act as a Board of Appeals when requests for re-evaluation are made.
The principal arguments advanced to sustain the proposed changes appear to be based upon two premises:
1) that the present system is outmoded and inefficient and that a single person, qualified as an expert, can act with greater dispatch and use improved methods when determining evaluations, and
2) that while the town has been fortunate, both in the past and pres- ent, to have reliable men elected to the Board that with the ap- proaching retirement of several Board members, the quality of their replacements cannot be guaranteed and that the choice of their successors should not be left to an uniformed electorate.
OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION:
After a thorough study of the proposal and an examination of the present practices, procedures and work-load of the Board of Assessors, this Committee has unanimously arrived at the following conclusions:
1) The present system is sound; it has merited general acceptance, and it has produced equitable evaluations. Perhaps the most significant proof of this lies in the minimal number of requests for abatement or re-evaluation and the fact that the Board of Appeals of the Commonwealth has not made any substantial changes in evaluation in recent years.
2) No other town in the Commonwealth - including those where problems involving enequities, inconsistencies and disparities in evaluation have arisen to such a degree that the town has incurred substantial expense to engage outside consultants to conduct a total re-evaluation - has seen fit to adopt a system such as that proposed.
264
3) The facts and figures recited earlier in this report are a living testi- monial to the adequacy of the present system.
4) With reference to the presumed fear of the future and the deteriora- tion of the calibre of future Assessors, we can only point out that this is completely conjectural and that is has no foundation in fact. It is a total hypothecation which could be applied with equal force to whomever might be selected to act as an Executive Secretary under the proposed arrangement.
5) In passing, we would be remiss in our duty if we failed to point out that the proposed system has several inherent defects:
a) It would vest total power in a single individual who would be clothed with the sanctity and protection of tenure of office. No combination of circumstances could more readily lead to abuse of office;
b) The vesting of such comprehensive authority in one man is inconsistent with the democratic principles on which our system of town government is founded; and
c) The proposal is inconsistent in that it presumes the need for an expert and doubts the ability of future Assessors; neverthe- less, it would permit the 3 elected Assessors to reverse decisions of the Executive Secretary.
This Committee, therefore, respectfully submits that the present organ- ization of the Board of Assessors be retained and that no action be voted by the citizens of Weymouth on the proposal contained in Article 70 of the town meeting Warrant for March, 1959.
Respectfully submitted,
