The most notable discussion revolved around the board’s reorganization. A motion was made to appoint Steve as the new chair, which was accepted, solidifying leadership roles for the upcoming term. Ken Stevens was nominated and confirmed as vice-chair, with both appointments receiving unanimous approval from those present. The reorganization ensures that the board maintains a clear structure for handling upcoming decisions and responsibilities.

Additionally, the meeting featured updates on various office activities. Over 200 exemptions for veterans, seniors, surviving spouses, and the blind have been mailed out, with the application deadline set for April 1st. The field review is halfway done, with further work planned to complete the property revaluation. These updates highlight the board’s efforts to maintain transparency and efficiency in municipal operations.

The board also addressed utility appraisals and invoices related to the Massachusetts Assessing Association of Assessing Officers.
