Commission keeps Board of Assessment Appeals on two-year cycle
Summary
The commission decided the Board of Assessment Appeals should remain on a two-year election cycle rather than be moved to four years with other offices, and carried a motion to that effect by voice vote.
At the July 16 special meeting the commission resolved the remaining schedule question for municipal offices by deciding the Board of Assessment Appeals will remain on a two-year cycle.
Commission counsel reminded the group that the City Council's proposal had coupled a four-year cycle for multiple offices, including the Board of Assessment Appeals. Counsel said if the commission rejected the council's broader recommendation, the coupling would be moot; commissioners then discussed turnout mechanics and whether the board should stand alone or align with other offices.
A motion to leave the Board of Assessment Appeals on a two-year cycle was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The transcript records the motion carrying but does not record a roll-call tally for that item. The commission concluded its business, thanked council members and attorneys for their cooperation, and adjourned.
Chairman Arthur Kelly thanked the city council and the commission's attorneys for work that the chairman said compressed about 18 months of effort into roughly 18 weeks.
