Summary

The board agreed to route routine taxpayer inquiries to board counsel and to update the abatement application and web contact information; hearing packages will be delivered to members in advance, targeting March 20 for the March 30 docket.

The Board of Assessment Review decided to centralize procedural inquiries through board attorney Jeff Zdunczyk, who will act as the conduit between the town clerk, applicants, and the chair. The board approved posting that contact information on the BAR webpage and adding it to the abatement application, which staff noted was last revised roughly 15–16 years ago.

Staff set a target to deliver materials for the March 30 docket to board members by March 20 and confirmed document deadlines: taxpayer evidence is due at least 10 days before a hearing and the assessor's rebuttal at least 7 days before. The board also confirmed packages may be delivered earlier than seven days when available.
