Board agrees to sign stipulation to send disputed appraisal to state over alleged non-existent tower
Summary
After members said town records listed a cell tower that does not exist, the board voted 4-0 to have John sign a stipulation routing the appraisal appeal to the Board of Civil Authority and, if needed, Vermont courts.
Board members discussed a disputed property appraisal that appeared to include value for a cell-phone tower the board said does not exist on the parcel. Committee member (speaker 3) described the issue as a "blatant error," saying town records and the mailing list lacked location mapping and that "there's no tower" at the cited site. The board reviewed options for appeal and whether to proceed through the local process or send the matter to the state.
Committee member (speaker 2) moved that John sign the stipulation to route the appeal to the Board of Civil Authority and onward to Vermont courts if necessary; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote (4-0). The moderator confirmed the board would sign the documentation and noted that taking the matter to the state was the likely next procedural step. The board also discussed documenting parcel IDs and ensuring the appraisal notices include accurate geographic identifiers.
