COMMISSION/COMMITTEES:

Hebron Health and Safety: 

We have worked 29 days without a work-related injury or accident. 

The Public Works Department began our week with tree trimming on Hillcrest Drive. Pipe and head wall work was conducted on Prentice Hill Road and continued throughout most of the week with an interruption on Thursday due to heavy rain. Waterways were cleaned and roadside mowing continued throughout town.  In collaboration with the Fire Department and Parks and Recreation we assisted the Hebron Food Bank with moving refrigerators to their new location.
 

Notice is hereby given that all persons conducting business (including home-based businesses) or having personal property in the Town of Hebron must file with the Assessor’s Office a declaration of all personal property belonging to them as of October 1, 2022. Failure to declare by November 1, 2022, as required by law, will result in a 25% penalty assessment.
 
Taxable personal property includes: unregistered motor vehicles, motor vehicles located in Hebron but registered in another state, mobile manufactured homes not assessed as real estate, construction equipment, manufacturing machinery and equipment, business furniture and fixtures, farm machinery, farming tools, mechanics tools, computers, telecommunication equipment, cables, conduits, pipes, poles, business expensed supplies and other property such as billboards, video games, vending machines, leasehold improvements, etc.
 
The Assessor’s Office has mailed declarations to anyone the office is aware of conducting business in Hebron. Failure to receive a declaration in the mail does not negate the filing requirement.

FIRE DEPARTMENT 
 

This week the fire department responded to 17 EMS, 1 fire alarm, 1 CO alarm and 1 lift assist calls.
 

 

TOWN CLERK
 

The Town Clerks attended the Connecticut Town Clerks Association conference last week.  Meetings with many state agencies took place.  The Secretary of State and State Elections Enforcement discussed nuances of facilitating the November election as well as the review of the constitutional question that will appear on the ballot. 

Many other agencies such as the Department of Agriculture, CT State Library, Public Health Department, Department of Revenue Services, genealogical and justice of the peace organizations as well as many venders demonstrating programs that enhance recording, conservation, and storage challenges.           

IQS has been chosen as our new land records vender and are working with the former company to ensure a smooth migration of the town land records.  

When the new system is installed and the records data base is migrated, we will begin to accept electronic recordings for the land records which will offer a greater level of service to our customers.
