Recently, Safety Director Gundy and Civil Service Commissioner Robinson have been traveling to area colleges to recruit candidates to test for future positions with the city. 4) Have met with Law Director Gareau and School Superintendent Dennis Allen to discuss methods of challenging asses~ents by the County and property owners. In the future, our attorneys, Kondzer & Kolick, will address the property owners and attempt to negotiate a settlement rather than challenging the assessments through the Board of Revision. This method should be more cost effective; and, hopefully, will bring in more businesses to the city because there will be consistency between assessments. 5) An enterprise zone for North 0]msted is in development. Establishment of an enterprise zone will give companies locating here a break on state taxes. _ ~~ r.,~s~~~~
