The cities of Lincoln Park and Southgate entered into an agreement to share one City Assessor. This also provides additional support staff to be shared as well. The savings were approximately 54,000 per year between the two communities.
This proposal has been beneficial to the community by allowing the flexibility of assessing staff to work between different communities and offsetting the cost that the city used to pay to the county for assessing services. The one barrier has been limited hours provided to the residents of the community since the staff works at additional locations.
