Wireless company opts to bypass local appeal for Jericho property
Summary
One utility (Vitell) filed state forms to bypass the local BCA and proceed to the state appraiser or superior court; the board noted the filing and treated it as informational rather than a local decision point.
The board was informed that a wireless infrastructure company identified as Vitell has filed paperwork at the state level electing to bypass local appeal procedures.
Jessica Alexander told the BCA that Vitell completed a state form that allows the company to pursue appeal options outside the town process: "Vitell is a wireless company that has infrastructure in Jericho, and they appeal I or they they are opting they filled out a form at the state level to bypass the board of civil authority and go directly either to the state appraiser or the superior court." The board treated the notification as a heads‑up; no local action was required because the company waived local appeal rights.
Board members discussed whether to receive additional background on telecommunications valuation; members agreed no immediate local action was necessary and that staff would note the company's decision in hearing‑preparation materials.
