Arden Board of Assessors

The Board of Assessors establishes the land rent rates for Arden leaseholds, according to the Georgist principle of “full rental value” of the land. Since Henry George himself never spelled out how to calculate “full rental value,” this is no simple task. Nominations are made at the September town meeting; election is by referendum in the fall, using the Hare System of Proportional Representation. The assessors elected in November, 2007, are (in order elected): Alton Dahl (chair), Carl Falco, Walter Borders, Denis O’Regan, Mary Marconi, Brooke Bovard and Alan Threefooot.
