Summary

After hearing the appellant and inspecting committee, the Board of Civil Authority voted to enter deliberations, excused the appellant, and said it will send a written decision to the appellant within 15 days documenting the committee's concerns and any need for further investigation.

Chair Chris Shaw asked for a motion to enter deliberations on the appeal after the inspection committee and appellant presentations. A motion to go into deliberations was made and seconded; the board voted in favor by voice. The chair excused the appellant for deliberation and said the board hoped to make a decision in the next 15–30 minutes and would send a letter within 15 days to communicate the outcome.

When the board completed deliberations and reconvened the open session, Shaw said the written letter will document the committee's concerns, including the additional ~1,200 square feet and the observed 55% office/45% storage split on the second floor. With no further business, the board moved to close the hearing and approved the motion by voice vote.

Why it matters: the board's written decision will record findings of fact and the board's valuation determination; the appellant and assessor will receive that notice and may take further action according to appeal procedures if they disagree.
