Annual Town and School District Reports
December 2006
For the year ending 31,
This year the Brentwood Board of Selectmen
is honoring their friend, their confidant, and
longtime Administrative Assistant, Olive Tash,
by dedicating this 2006 Town Report to her.
On April 9, 1979 Olive began her career as a secretary to the Board of Selectmen, the
Planning Board and the Board of Adjustment. She and her husband Don with their two
children lived on Lake Road in Brentwood. In 1996, with the children grown, it was time
to down size and she and Don moved to Lee. That move did not change her commitment
and dedication to the residents ofBrentwood and the Selectmen she served.
Boards ofSelectmen over the past 28 years have relied on her ability to interact with the
public with a patient, and professional demeanor, even when she was on the receiving
end of sometimes hostile and threatening behavior. They realize she often took the heat
for the board because she had to carry an unpopular message to residents.
In the beginning the tax warrant and accounts receivable and payable were all done by
hand and kept in ledger books. As the town grew herjob and her knowledge ofmunicipal
operations grew. Her job description included being secretary to the Selectmen which
included taking minutes ofmeetings, correspondence, accounts payable, payroll, warrant
and state reports preparation as well as taking minutes for the Planning and Zoning
Boards ofAdjustment. She learned and was certified in the nuts and bolts ofassessment
and assessing. She prepared documents for the state mandated deadlines that Selectmen
must meet and eventually became the Selectmen's Administrative Assistant and is
responsible for all the documentation that is required ofthe Office ofSelectmen.
During her tenure the town's net valuation has gone from $16,542,100 to $480,351,941.
She has taken the Town from a black book accounting system through computerization
and many hardware and software conversions. Olive and the Town Clerk/Tax Collector
have always worked together to master the technical changes necessary to meet the needs
ofthe Town. Olive has worked for 20 different Selectmen. Having had that many bosses
is a tribute to her ability to grow and adjust to change.
On behalf of the Town of Brentwood and all previous Boards of Selectmen we extend
our grateful appreciation to you, Olive, for your dedicated service. You have shared your
years of experience and knowledge with every new Selectman whenever it was sought.
You have kept your Selectmen and the Town current on changes in the State Laws that
we all must conform to. We wish you a retirement full of good health, happiness, and
copious amounts laughter.
