Summary
In March 2010, a Peaine Township deputy supervisor reported that the township was preparing to select an outside assessor for a state-required reassessment. An April notice then identified Sally Akerley as engaged for the work and described the planned parcel-by-parcel inspection process. The post listed three bids—$32,200, $68,800, and $70,225—and announced a public vote for March 10. Replies debated the low bid and alleged private lobbying.
Evidence limits
The forum documents the advertised decision context and operational notice, not the township’s final vote, engagement contract, assessor performance, or the legality of any lobbying. The later assessor identification is treated as a reported township notice, not a substitute for the official contract.
Sources
- A post attributed to Peaine Township announced that Sally Akerley had been engaged for the State Tax Commission-ordered reassessment beginning April 1, described parcel visits, measurements, photographs, identification cards, and a north-to-south work sequence. The notice is useful operational detail but does not preserve the engagement contract or independently verify every process claim.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 02 · t002289
- A Peaine deputy supervisor described three qualified bids of $32,200, $68,800, and $70,225 and urged attendance at the March 10 vote. Another reply alleged private lobbying. The forum does not preserve the official bid documents, vote, contract, or state reassessment record, so the selection outcome remains unverified here.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 02 · t002222
