NEW BUSINESS: <br />118 Prospect Street: <br />A property owner with a pending Abatement Application came by without <br />an appointment. Mr. Santaniello explained that the usual procedure was to <br />try to resolve the matter with department staff first. <br />Mr. McGrane told her that the Board would listen to what she had to say. <br />However, the Board would discuss and vote on her Application in Executive <br />Session later in the evening. Mr. McGrane invited the Applicant to remain <br />for the balance of the open session. <br />The Applicant explained that she had recently purchased the subject <br />property and briefly outlined the key points contained in her Abatement <br />Application. She responded to some questions and then left the meeting. <br />Executive Session: <br />
