In such a case the assessor shall document the reason for requiring the renewal application
  2. The Town Clerk is authorized and directed to post notice of this resolution on the Town Clerk's signboard and on the Town's website and the officers of the Town are authorized to take all other actions as may be required by law to implement this resolution
