Board administers oath, confirms procedures before tax-abatement hearing
Summary
Before opening the abatement hearing, the South Burlington board administered an oath for board members, reviewed conflict-of-interest and procedural rules, and confirmed the packet's statutory information with participants.
Before opening the abatement hearing, board staff administered an oath to participants and walked through meeting procedures. The administrator recited the oath aloud for those raising hands: "I do solemnly affirm...the whole truth and nothing but the truth."
The chair asked whether any members had conflicts or ex parte contacts related to the case; none were reported. The chair also confirmed that participants had received the board's rules and packet and directed the applicant to note the statutory category listed on the first page. The procedural steps preceded the hearing for parcel 181002026 and the applicant's presentation.
