- Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater New Haven (LM262020-0243): Committee voted to forgive the 2025 tax bills cited in the nonprofit’s appeal, following testimony from the organization’s new CEO about mail and bank fraud and a leadership transition.
- Motor-vehicle tax appeal (Antonio / Ojeda Medina): Committee moved and approved relief on the vehicle tax/interest presented by the resident; members encouraged connection to employment resources in parallel.
- Jerome Harper (item 5): The item was passed over due to the petitioner’s absence.
