Mike, Needless to say, this response is only going to the individuals copied on my original email, as I cant
violate the OPMA. I appreciate your response, but I still feel that the interior inspection percentage is deficient;
for now, lets agree that it is a glass half empty/half full issue. Going forward, I think there are things that we
could and should do to bring the interior inspection percentage up, which we can discuss before next years
inspections. I full well realize that the sales data is what will be used to adjust assessed values annually and that
could be done without any inspections at all. Please consider that in a town like Fair Haven it is most likely that
our total assessed value will continue to rise, or fall, disproportionally to many other municipalities in
Monmouth County; as such, my residents County taxes will continue to rise annually, even if the Freeholders
hold the line on tax increases and the ADP makes that process even more convenient, at our expense no less.
For that reason alone, it is important that I have the ability to make assurances to our residents that the process
is efficient, fair, and effective. Lastly, even though the individual and collective analytical abilities of the
recipients of this email are impressive, I would advise against getting into a mathematical point/counter point
with Jon Peters. I think this issue dissipates best if we agree that we will work together to get make sure our
property records are as up to date and accurate as possible. All the best, Theresa

IhaveinsertedmycommentsinREDbelowwhichcorrespondtoyourquestions,whichIhopearehelpful.
Regards,Mike
Gentlemen, Regarding the email exchange below, which took place between myself and RDS in early June; as
well as the attached, please note that in Fair Haven there were a total of 198 properties that were not able to be
interiorly inspected as part of our first 20% annual property inspections. While I realize the contract allows you
to deduct these properties from the total to reach your contractual benchmark and that the Borough is required
to pay you $21.00 a property regardless, since we are so early in this program, I really think this needs to be
looked at in some detail. I could go on and on, but my general thoughts on this topic are briefly stated, as
follows:
IwillfocusonClass2(residential)propertieswithrespecttoyourconcernoverourinteriorsuccessrate,sincethey
accountforthebulkof2014inspections.Ofthe435residentialpropertiesonthe2014schedule,therewere12
refusals,whichamounttoarefusalrateof2.75%.Thiswasaverygoodrefusalrate,whichIbelievewaspusheddown

therevaluation,toinquirewhytheywerebeinginspectedagain.Iwouldexpectthenumberofhomeownerswiththat
particularquestiontodecreaseinsubsequentyears,sinceeachannual20%ofinspectionswillbeanotheryearremoved
fromtherevaluation.
Forcomparativepurposes,duringthe2013revaluation(whichincludesthree(3)visits,comparedtotwo(2)underthe
ADP)therewasarefusalratewas5.8%.
Ofthe423nonrefusals,wecompletedanexteriorinspectionon100%ofproperties,whichallowsustoconfirmifany
exteriorwork/improvementshavebeenmade,andtoverifythefootprintofthehometoassessifanyadditionshave
beenadded.Wecompletedaninteriorinspectionof237properties,or56%ofproperties.
It would seem to me that whatever quality controls that RDS has in place to insure that you will
maximize our interior success rate within the two visit framework should be reviewed, as you didnt
manage to complete an interior inspection for 44% of this years 20% requirement.
84
Iwillsummarizeourprocessaimedatmaximizingtheinteriorsuccessratewithinthetwo(2)visitframework,
andwearealwaysopentoanysuggestions.SincetheADPrequirestwo(2)inspections(inthiscaseforpricing

As such, we will be paying you $4,158.00, without the benefit of the assurance that we have an accurate
property record card for these 198 properties.
Asmentioned,12ofthe198referencedwererefusals,witharefusalrateaboutofwhatwasexperienced
duringthe2013revaluation.Whileitisimpossibletocompleteaninteriorinspectionofallproperties,itmight
behelpfultocomparethedatacollectedbetweentheADPandthetraditionalrevaluationmodel.Underthe
2013revaluation,82%ofinteriorinspectionswerecompletedusingthethree(3)visitframeworkcomparedto
56%undertheADPtwo(2)visitmodel.
However,thelastrevaluationthatFairHavenperformed(priorto2013)wasin2003,soassumingasimilar

period.Noinspections,otherthanAdded/Omittedor(possibly)appealinspectionsweredoneintheinterim

Ifweareabletoachievea55%to60%interiorinspectionrateduringeachfive(5)yearADPcycle,thetotal

propertyrecordcardsthaninthepast,atapricewhichisabout33%lessduringany10yearperiod(withthe
Assessoralsobeingabletoadjustvaluationsannually,ratherthanhavingtowaitforrevaluations,ortoadjust
thempiecemealbasedonappeals).
I realize that we just came off of a full revaluation, so property record card accuracy is not nearly as big
a concern if we had otherwise not done so; however, with each year that passes, especially if this
demonstration program is to continue forward, that high a percentage of no interior inspections will
become increasingly troubling and problematic.
Pleaseseemycommentsabove.
85
Greg and I have already discussed that we need to compare the revaluation refusals with the 12 reinspection refusals to see if they are repeat refusals. We probably should do the same with the 186 did
not get inside properties too.

Mike, Needless to say, this response is only going to the individuals copied on my original email, as I cant
violate the OPMA. I appreciate your response, but I still feel that the interior inspection percentage is deficient;
for now, lets agree that it is a glass half empty/half full issue. Going forward, I think there are things that we
could and should do to bring the interior inspection percentage up, which we can discuss before next years
inspections. I full well realize that the sales data is what will be used to adjust assessed values annually and that
could be done without any inspections at all. Please consider that in a town like Fair Haven it is most likely that
our total assessed value will continue to rise, or fall, disproportionally to many other municipalities in
Monmouth County; as such, my residents County taxes will continue to rise annually, even if the Freeholders
hold the line on tax increases and the ADP makes that process even more convenient, at our expense no less.
For that reason alone, it is important that I have the ability to make assurances to our residents that the process
is efficient, fair, and effective. Lastly, even though the individual and collective analytical abilities of the
recipients of this email are impressive, I would advise against getting into a mathematical point/counter point
with Jon Peters. I think this issue dissipates best if we agree that we will work together to get make sure our
property records are as up to date and accurate as possible. All the best, Theresa

Gentlemen, Regarding the email exchange below, which took place between myself and RDS in early June; as
well as the attached, please note that in Fair Haven there were a total of 198 properties that were not able to be
interiorly inspected as part of our first 20% annual property inspections. While I realize the contract allows you
to deduct these properties from the total to reach your contractual benchmark and that the Borough is required
to pay you $21.00 a property regardless, since we are so early in this program, I really think this needs to be
looked at in some detail. I could go on and on, but my general thoughts on this topic are briefly stated, as

Mr. Panter,
I believe that your math is incorrect as to the success rate. Perhaps we can discuss further.
If you achieve a 56% rate of interior inspections in each year - at the end of this 5 year cycle you will have only inspected
56%* of the interiors in Fair Haven (or any town). This is significantly lower than the 82% achieved in the prior
revaluation.
Given the existing run rate of 56%, by my calculations RDS will have to achieve an 88.5% success rate in the next four
years to reach the prior 82% success rate. In plain fact, we have about 2175 properties in Fair Haven and we have
already missed 191 in 2014. That leaves a mere 200 properties that can be missed in the next four years if we are to
achieve just a match to the revaluation rate of 82% for the five year process. That is 50 misses per year.
We are apparently not on a run rate to make only 50 misses per year using current practice.
Please advise.

become increasingly troubling and problematic.

More important than the money we are paying for this rate of interior inspections is the fact that this
Assessment Demonstration Program is being piloted in Monmouth County, so these numbers will surely
be scrutinized by many individuals and interests, which should make this rate troubling to all concerned.
Pleaseseemynotesaboveastheyrelatetoinspectionratesvisavisrelativepricing.
If our numbers are indicative of a County wide trend, then, at the very least for this first year, I see it as
a potential public relations problem for the municipalities, the Monmouth County Board of Taxation and
RDS. If the trend continues, I think it could serve to undermine the program on a statewide basis.

I have prepped this bill for payment at our 09/22 public meeting and I fully expect it to be called into question

that I think it has merit. For everyones sake, I hope that the results we have seen in Fair Haven were just an
anomaly for 2014 and they will be improved upon in 2015. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, feel

Gentlemen, Regarding the email exchange below, which took place between myself and RDS in early June; as
well as the attached, please note that in Fair Haven there were a total of 198 properties that were not able to be
interiorly inspected as part of our first 20% annual property inspections. While I realize the contract allows you
to deduct these properties from the total to reach your contractual benchmark and that the Borough is required
to pay you $21.00 a property regardless, since we are so early in this program, I really think this needs to be
looked at in some detail. I could go on and on, but my general thoughts on this topic are briefly stated, as
follows:

I realize that we just came off of a full revaluation, so property record card accuracy is not nearly as big
a concern if we had otherwise not done so; however, with each year that passes, especially if this
demonstration program is to continue forward, that high a percentage of no interior inspections will
become increasingly troubling and problematic.

Greg and I have already discussed that we need to compare the revaluation refusals with the 12 reinspection refusals to see if they are repeat refusals. We probably should do the same with the 186 did

More important than the money we are paying for this rate of interior inspections is the fact that this
Assessment Demonstration Program is being piloted in Monmouth County, so these numbers will surely
be scrutinized by many individuals and interests, which should make this rate troubling to all concerned.

If our numbers are indicative of a County wide trend, then, at the very least for this first year, I see it as a
potential public relations problem for the municipalities, the Monmouth County Board of Taxation and
RDS. If the trend continues, I think it could serve to undermine the program on a statewide basis.

I have prepped this bill for payment at our 09/22 public meeting and I fully expect it to be called into question
by my own Governing Body. My public response will be that RDS has met the terms of the contract that we
entered into, which will clearly not serve to be an adequate defense of this new program, regardless of the fact
that I think it has merit. For everyones sake, I hope that the results we have seen in Fair Haven were just an
anomaly for 2014 and they will be improved upon in 2015. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, feel
free to give me a call. Best regards, Theresa

Gentlemen, Regarding the email exchange below, which took place between myself and RDS in early June; as
well as the attached, please note that in Fair Haven there were a total of 198 properties that were not able to be
interiorly inspected as part of our first 20% annual property inspections. While I realize the contract allows you
to deduct these properties from the total to reach your contractual benchmark and that the Borough is required
to pay you $21.00 a property regardless, since we are so early in this program, I really think this needs to be
looked at in some detail. I could go on and on, but my general thoughts on this topic are briefly stated, as
follows:
115
IwillfocusonClass2(residential)propertieswithrespecttoyourconcernoverourinteriorsuccessrate,sincethey

Forcomparativepurposes,duringthe2013revaluation(whichincludesthree(3)visits,comparedtotwo(2)underthe

exteriorwork/improvementshavebeenmade,andtoverifythefootprintofthehometoassessifanyadditionshave
beenadded.Wecompletedaninteriorinspectionof237properties,or56%ofproperties.
It would seem to me that whatever quality controls that RDS has in place to insure that you will
maximize our interior success rate within the two visit framework should be reviewed, as you didnt
manage to complete an interior inspection for 44% of this years 20% requirement.

Matt,
Scroll down to public finance section. Congratulations. You have put a Monmouth County shared service on
one of the most prestigious international maps in the public sector. I will make certain the Administrator and
Freeholder are made aware. THIS IS A BIG DEAL! GREAT JOB!
