The Fall River Board of Assessors held a meeting on April 21, 2022, opening at 2:06 PM with Nancy Highnote, Rich Wilson, and Rich Gonzalez present. The board reordered its agenda to receive an immediate update on the city's measure and list project from Patriot Properties. Dan from Patriot Properties reported that 775 residential and 210 commercial inspections were completed, totaling 985 inspections. Maps A, B, and C were finished, with work progressing on D and E, specifically moving into the Slade area for 2021-2022. No significant issues were reported, aside from one taxpayer dispute. Following the update, the board approved the minutes from the April 7th executive and open sessions with a 3-0 vote. They then entered executive session at 2:11 PM to discuss abatements, exemptions, and ATP matters, returning to open session at 2:50 PM. In open session, the board voted 3-0 to deny several fiscal 2022 abatements, including personal property numbers 9, 10, and 11, and real estate numbers 25, 36, 58, and 59. They also denied reconsideration and subsequent denial of fiscal 2022 abatement applications 26 and 27, both by a 3-0 vote. Conversely, the board unanimously approved fiscal 2022 statutory exemptions numbers 90 through 98, and denied exemption applications 99 through 104, each with a 3-0 vote. The board concluded by scheduling its next meeting for May 12th at 10:00 AM, noting that seven abatements were extended until June 2nd. The meeting adjourned at 2:54 PM with a 3-0 vote.
