Waukesha Board of Review adopts procedures for remote testimony and waiver requests
Summary
The Board of Review voted June 6 to adopt formal procedures for sworn telephone or written testimony and for waiver requests of Board of Review hearings, after confirming statutory notices and training requirements.
The City of Waukesha Board of Review on June 6 adopted two administrative policies: one setting procedures for sworn telephone and sworn written testimony requests, and another establishing the procedure for waiver requests of Board of Review hearings.
Board members began the meeting by confirming the publication of meeting notices and that members had completed required training. Assistant City Attorney Michael Radovich confirmed there were no new laws affecting the Board. The Board then voted to adopt the policy on sworn telephone and sworn written testimony requests and, subsequently, the policy on waivers of Board of Review hearing requests.
Board members discussed the adoption process only; the clerk and staff explained the policies will govern how out-of-state or otherwise unavailable appellants may provide sworn evidence and how the Board will handle requests to waive in-person hearing requirements or the 48-hour notice rule. Both motions carried by voice/roll-call vote.
The adopted procedures are administrative rules for handling testimony and waiver requests; specifics of individual waivers and remote testimony approvals were addressed separately during the meeting.
The Board moved on after both votes to take up receipt and certification of the assessment roll and a long series of waiver and scheduling requests.
