MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Mayor David J. Narkewicz
CC: City Clerk Pamela Powers
DATE: September 28, 2020
RE: Appointment of Principal Assessor
I am appointing Deputy Assessor Marc Dautreuil to the position of Principal Assessor for the City of
Northampton, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of Principal Assessor Sarafin, effective
October 1, 2020.
Deputy Assessor Dautreuil has been with the department since 2016. Prior to that, he was a real estate
appraiser in Barnstable and Plymouth counties. He received his bachelor’s degree from Texas State
University in History, earning a secondary teaching certificate in Social Studies. He gained his
Appraiser’s licence in 2015, and in 2016 was designated a Massachusetts Accredited Assessor by the
Massachusetts Association of Assessing Officers. I have attached a copy of Mr. Dautreuil’s professional
resume for your review.
I consulted with retiring Principal Assessor Sarafin on this decision and we are both confident in Deputy
Assessor Dautreuil’s ability to lead the Assessor’s Department moving forward. I am honored to
elevate Marc Dautreuil to the rank of Principal Assessor and respectfully submit his appointment to the
City Council for confirmation in accordance with the Northampton Charter, Article 2, § 2-10.
