Kennebunk BAR re-elects Richard Smith as chair; Wayne Berry named secretary
Summary
At its March 5 organizational meeting the Board of Assessment Review re-elected Richard Smith as chair (2–1) and elected Wayne Berry secretary (2–1), reaffirming longstanding leadership as the board set hearing schedules and administrative procedures for the abatement cycle.
Richard Smith, chair of the Town of Kennebunk Board of Assessment Review, was re-elected chair at the board’s March 5 organizational meeting, with a 2–1 vote after a motion by Wayne Berry. Tom Wellman later moved to elect Wayne Berry as secretary; that motion, seconded by Smith, also passed 2–1.
Board members clarified that the secretary role does not require taking minutes. The votes followed a brief discussion of continuity and turnover; Smith noted he has served as chair since 2006 (approximately 20 years). The board confirmed the chair is authorized to sign findings of fact once a decision is adopted and that decision letters will be issued on Board of Assessment Review letterhead and signed by the chair.
