Stockbridge assessors enter executive session to consider exemption applications from local nonprofits
Summary
On June 23 the Stockbridge Board of Assessors voted to enter executive session and consider exemption (ABC) forms for several nonprofit-owned properties, including Berkshire Theater Group, Laurel Hill Association, The Nature Conservancy, Riverbrook Residents Incorporated, Stockbridge Land Trust, and The Trustees of Reservations.
The Stockbridge Board of Assessors voted on June 23 to close its public session and go into executive session to consider exemption (ABC) applications for multiple nonprofit-owned parcels.
The chair asked for a motion to close the open meeting and enter executive session, saying the board would not return to the public session after the executive session. The motion was moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
The chair read the list of entities whose exemption applications will be discussed in executive session: Berkshire Theater Group, Laurel Hill Association, The Nature Conservancy, Riverbrook Residents Incorporated, Stockbridge Land Trust, and The Trustees of Reservations.
The transcript indicates the board moved directly to executive session and did not reconvene a public meeting; no public discussion of the merits of the exemption applications took place on the record during the open session.
The board did not provide a roll-call vote in the public transcript; the motion was recorded as approved by voice vote. The assessor's staff will proceed with the executive-session review of the listed exemption filings and report decisions to the board as allowed by law.
