Mount Pleasant Assessor Heading to Clarkstown

James J. Timmings has been named as Clarkstown’s next Town Assessor, Supervisor George Hoehmann and the Town Board announced Thursday.

Timmings, who is currently the assessor in Mount Pleasant, will be voted on by the Town Board at its Feb. 9 meeting. He is scheduled to start Feb. 12, taking over for Clarkstown’s long time Assessor Cathy Conklin, who retired this month.

“Cathy Conklin is a renowned, recognized, and respected Assessor in our State, and will be missed,” said Hoehmann in a prepared statement. “In Jim Timmings, I know we have found someone who has the experience, knowledge, and professionalism which the Town of Clarkstown Assessor’s Office is known for.”
