TOWN APPRAISER'S REPORT: <br />Bob Marshall, recently elected to the Board as its newest member, was unable to attend tonight's <br />meeting due to a previous commitment (the NRAAO conference). <br />Mr. Santaniello reported that the Department has fallen behind in inspecting properties for which <br />the owners filed Abatement Applications for FY 2014. He noted that Ms. Sullivan has been out <br />sick. Also, Ms. Fitzpatrick is on vacation this week. <br />Notices of Deemed Denials were mailed for all pending Applications at the beginning of May. <br />These were accompanied by a hand written note assuring the applicants that the Department <br />would continue to consider and process all timely filed Abatement Applications. <br />4.

NEW BUSINESS — EXECUTIVE SESSION: <br />The owners of Unit E, 2 Carnation Circle dropped by to follow up on their FY 2014 Abatement <br />Application. Mr. Santaniello had inspected the property in April and determined that the 3`° floor <br />had been mistakenly listed and assessed as finished living space. He proceeded to make the <br />necessary corrections to the Property Record Card which produced a result agreeable to the <br />applicants. Mr. Golden explained the refund procedure to the applicants and estimated that they <br />would receive a check in about six weeks. The applicants then left the meeting. <br />
