The Board of Equalization of Albemarle County elected officers for the year, approved minutes from Aug. 8, 2024, and voted to reuse its 2024 rules of procedure for 2025. All formal motions passed unanimously.
The Board of Equalization of Albemarle County elected officers for the upcoming year and unanimously adopted procedural rules at its March 27 meeting.
Board members selected Evan Mayo as chair, Bob Beard as vice chair and David Mitchell as secretary. The board also approved the minutes from its Aug. 8, 2024 meeting and voted to adopt the 2024 rules of procedure again for 2025 without substantive changes.
The board convened with six appointed members present: Frank Friedman, Bob Beard, Dave Norford, Evan Mayo, David Mitchell and Bill Howard. The motion to approve the Aug. 8, 2024 minutes was put before the board and carried unanimously. "Hearing none, I'll ask if there's a motion to approve the minutes as prepared by the assessor's office," the chair said before the vote.
Nominations and votes followed during the meeting. Dave Norford nominated Evan Mayo for chair and Bob Beard seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Frank Friedman nominated Beard for vice chair; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. David Mitchell was nominated and seconded for secretary and confirmed by unanimous vote.
Separately, the board voted to adopt the 2024 rules of procedure as the rules for 2025. The assessor's office had recommended using the same rule set except for a previously proposed change regarding interior inspections, which the board decided not to pursue. "So I'm what I'm proposing is that you would take the 2024 rules of procedure that are not changed in any way and adopt those again as your as your 2025 rules," the assessor said; a motion to adopt those rules carried without opposition.
The meeting closed with a formal motion to adjourn that passed unanimously at 10:29 a.m.
Less-critical housekeeping during the session included confirming contact information on the board roster, scheduling training for new members and instructions on signing post-hearing letters and change notifications with the assessor's office.
