• Ratification of P.I.L.o.T. Agreement for Creat cove community, LLC Jason Streebel reminded the Board of the PILOT Agreement emailed to the Board members several weeks ago. Gregg Fraser as Board Chairman has since signed the agreement, as there were some timing issues with Great Cove in order to get their financing in place} and there was a reed to have the agreement signed prior to the next Board of Assessors meeting. Jason Streebel described the location of Great Cove Community, a low income housing development for individuals with special needs run by the Housing Authority, located off Old Barnstable Road to the left beyond the Mashpee High School. The original plan was to expand the Breezy Acres complex into another additional 28 units. The financer did not like the plan and wanted to break the project into two separate units and leave Breezy Acres unto itself and create a new project called Great Cove. In the same parcel of acres, there are two acres in the front and six acres in the back which means it will be subdivided so there will be separate parcel ID numbers on which to attach the pilot payments. Previous to Breezy Tres, the tax rete formula was the tax rate divided by 2 plus the number of beds plus loo. The current formula rate is patterned off the Asher's Path complex. Jason Streebel requested that the Board ratify approvement of the P.I.L.0.T Ag reement as set forth and signed by chairman Gregg Fraser. Sheldon Holzer rude a motion that the Board ratify approvement of the P.I1.03 Agreement as previously signed by Gregg Fraser. Paul Andrews seconded the motion. The motion was unanimously approved. ADDITIONAL TOPICS Supplemental Tait Bills —Jason Streebel Jason Streebel described a supplemental tax bill as one sent out to anyone who has had a opo or more charge in value of their assessment as of the end of the fiscal year, a complicated process for the Assessing Department. Approximately 75 of these bills were seat out, most of which went to Southport. Jason Streebel stated that the problem with supplemental bills is that if someone loses value because of an act of God, i.e., hurricane, tornado, tsunami, etc., the assessors are mandated to issue an abatement, the property owner does not even have to apply. This possible scenario would easily cause a huge financial issue for l ashpee down the road. Jason Streebel suggested that some day the Board may request the Board of Selectmen to eliminate the supplemental tax bill. Mr. Streebel stated that the town of Barnstable, instead of rescinding the supplemental tax bill, has moved the assessment from January first to .duly first, so you capture any and all construction costs and don't have to wait for a Co to the beginning of the fiscal year. Mr. Streebel stated his interest in beeping the Board advised of possible upcoming changes that will need to be considered.
