The Altamont Enterprise - Thursday, December 25y 2008 Q Corbari eyed for assessor post By Jo E. Prout NEW SCOTLAND —The town hopes to hire former New Scot- land assessor Deborah Corbari as its new part-time assessor, , The town is also waiting for state funds to arrive for con- • struction of the Youmans Road connector road, so the railroad crossing can be closed. New assessor Corbari had worked for the town as assessor for one year, said Supervisor Thomas Dolin. She is currently a member of the town's as- sessment board of review. The town has re- ceived several applications, but the board will interview only Corbari, unless negotia- tions with her fall through, Dolin said. In October, full-time assessor Julie Nooney resigned because the town board was considering combining assessment services with nearby towns, or hiring a part-time assessor. \Because of this, I was not reappointed October 1, 2007,\ Nooney said in September. \1 stayed on with the town as a liold over' assessor and, after just over one year without any decisions by the town board, I thought it was best to open up the possibility to move on.\ Dolin said that, of the applica- tions he received, the board chose Corbari alone to interview. \We more or less focused on her,\ he said. \She had the best qualifications.\ In her application, Dolin said, Corbari requested 15 hours per week of work. Dolin hopes to . meet with Corbari to decide the hours and the salary for the po- sition, he said. The salary range .budgeted is between $20,000 and $25,000, he said. The salary paid for a full-time assessor, including benefits, was $58,000. After leaving New Scotland, Corbari told The Enterprise, she received her appraiser's license and worked at Fleet Bank. Cor- bari stayed home with her two children after working at the bank, and then got her Realtor's license. \I work as a Realtor, and I'm home with my kids, too,\ Cor- bari said. She is now employed with Team Shillinglaw with Keller Williams Realty Capital District. If she accepts the assessor's position, Dolin said, Corbari will have to agree not to participate in any New Scotland listings. 'She had the best qualifications.' 7 \I knew that before I put my T6- sum6 in,\ Corbari said. \It Would be a conflict of interest.\ .Corbari said that she has listings throughout the Capital District, including in Bethlehem, Colonie, and Guilderland. Cor- bari is a Voorheesville native and has been \all my life,\ she said. Dolin said that the board has not finalized its decision to hire Corbari. The board will discuss the position at its Dec. 29 meet- ing, he said, Youmans Road connector f At the town — ————— board meeting last week, the board unani- mously agreed to hire Stantec, the town's des- ignated engi- . neerihg firm, to build the con- hector road be- tween Youmans Road and Great View Terrace — a project with a budget of $450,000. The connector road, which was planned years before, will be built so that the CSX railroad crossing on Youmans Road can be closed, after a recent near-death accident on the tracks. Yoiimans Road resident Peter Salerno and his two daughters were in their Land Rover when two trains struck the vehicle on Nov. 22. No major injuries occurred. He was charged with not stopping at the crossing, a misdemeanor; the case, scheduled for Dec. 18 in New Scotland Town Court, was adjourned. The town, state, and railroad authorities agreed to close the crossing because of the. approach- ing slopes to the tracks, limited sight-distance, and the lack of crossing signals there. The, $450,000-project will be funded by the state. Dolin said last week that $120,000 of,the total budget would be available to the town within a couple of weeks. Of the 10 firms considered for the engineering work, Dolin said, Stantec ranked highest on a points system, beating out Bar- ton and Loguidice, and Laberge Engineering and Consulting. Stantec also created the design that the state's Department of Transportation is considering for the project, Dolin said. \They provided the meat that DOT used to come up with $450,000,\ Dolin said. \I was impressed. They were telling the state DOT [representatives] they couldn't do what they said because the federal standards were stricter.\ PROTECTING RETIREMENT PLANS • Living a long life is likely • Needing long-term care is probable • Long-term care is a family concern • Long-term care is an uncapped liability • Protect your family and finances today • Consider Long-Term Care Insurance • Call Mark at 872-1010 for your solution MARK kOBERT A&ENCY Mark Robert Lassonde, CLTC, LTCP www.MARKROBERTAGENCY.com The Enterprise — Michael Koff Celebrating the season vfpetice, a group singssongs at Crossgates Mall on Saturdays Since Stephen Downs watia'rrk'sted^h^OSkrukdring'a^edee^hirti''' ' \ - — •• - - . . •,,,-.„, iring'dtyeaceT^Mriatthemd^ His drrest was covered by mediaardund the wbrid'&nd raised questidns about the right to freedom of speech, in the modern village square — privately owned shopping malls.
