BCA leans toward splitting five appeals across two nights to preserve quorum
Summary
Survey results and member feedback led the board to split five tax appeals across two nights rather than scheduling all five on one evening, to avoid an overly long session and ensure participation.
The board reviewed availability responses and discussed logistics for hearing five appeals under the new assessments. A SurveyMonkey poll of BCA members produced mixed availability; while August 17 was the single most popular evening, several members could not attend that date.
Members agreed splitting the cases across two nights would reduce the length of any single session and allow more board members to participate. "So to me, that maybe settles that... why don't we just split it over 2 days," Chair Tom Cheney said as members nodded in agreement. Staff will finalize dates and mail hearing notices to appellants.
