Will Take at Least 5 Months for UBID Staff to Identify Location of “B” Parcels

I made the gif above to show how long it takes to input the Roll # to determine the exact location of a property. Staff confirmed at the Mar. 18, 2021 meeting they are in possession of the Roll Number for each of the properties.

Received the response to my email Mar. 21, 2021, showing how easy it is to locate a property, advising it will be after the AGM (Apr 29, 2021) “before they are able to revisit placing the properties without proper addresses.”

The board started discussing the B parcels at the Dec. 3, 2020 COW Meeting. The problem was identifying the B parcels that had water service available and were not being billed parcel taxes like the rest of us. Since that time staff have been unable to determine the location of the properties because they don’t always have an address.

Excerpt of Dec. 10, 2020, Regular Board Meeting, discussion of the B parcels. Admin thinks it’s important. Should be dealt with early in the new year. At 9:30 Deputy Administrator responds to Trustee question as to how much work would that take. At 10:30 Water Supt. states he could do 90% of the work off a map and then states he might be able to do 100% off a map.

Excerpt of Feb. 25, 2021, Admin has list of B parcels. This is amazing – the Acting Admin asked “Lindsay to potentially work a few extra days, if necessary, outside of her usual 3 days a week to give us some assistance to move this project along”. DAYS???
