The Fall River Board of Assessors held a meeting on April 17, 2024, with board member Richard Wilson participating remotely. The meeting began with a roll call, noting the absence of Miss Hno. The board approved the minutes from the February 16th open and executive sessions with a 2-0 vote and tabled the minutes for item 18. They also approved the invoice proof list with a 2-0 vote. A significant portion of the meeting involved entering and exiting executive session to discuss abatements and exemptions. Upon reconvening, the board approved abatement number 200 and abatement number 81, both with 2-0 votes. They then voted 2-0 to deny several abatements, specifically numbers 82, 98, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, and 135. The board also approved statutory exemptions numbers 89, 90, 91, 92, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, and 101, and denied statutory exemption number 102, both by unanimous votes. Additionally, revised and omitted bills number one and two for Commerce solar were approved for issuance, as was CPA exemption number three, each with a 2-0 vote. Towards the end of the meeting, members acknowledged and apologized for communication errors experienced during the remote participation. No other relevant business was brought forward. The next meeting was scheduled for April 24th at 2:30 PM, and the meeting was adjourned with a unanimous vote.
