Council approves ballot language to expand Board of Assessment Review
Summary
The council approved placing a charter amendment on the Nov. 3 ballot to increase Board of Assessment Review membership from three to five and shorten terms from six years to staggered three-year terms; council members said the board's duties and appointment process remain unchanged.
The Glocester Town Council voted on July 27 to place a charter amendment on the Nov. 3 ballot that would expand the Board of Assessment Review from three members to five and shorten member terms from six years to three years with staggered expirations. Council member (S4) read the explanatory statement, which said members’ duties—hearing appeals of assessed valuation and making corrections—would be unchanged and that current members would complete existing terms.
The council approved the language and a motion to place the question on the ballot by voice vote. The explanatory text specifies that appointments remain with the council and that a property owner's right to appeal to a court is unaffected. The transcript records the motion and vocal approval but does not provide a roll-call tally.
