The Fall River Board of Assessors held a meeting on May 20, 2026, chaired by Rich Gonzalez and attended by members Nancy Hino and Rich Wilson. The board quickly moved through its initial agenda, unanimously approving the minutes from the April 15, 2026 meeting, the invoice proof list, and the monthly report. A brief discussion occurred regarding an invoice from a cleaning company, which was clarified as a service for cleaning the water bubbler at city hall. The board entered into an executive session at 10:04 AM to discuss abatements, exemptions, and Appellate Tax Board (ATB) matters, citing that a public discussion would be detrimental to the city's legal position. They returned to open session at 10:26 AM. Following the executive session, the board unanimously approved schedules for uncollectible personal property tax and uncollectible excise tax. A significant point of discussion arose regarding the preliminary tax warrants for personal property and real estate. The agenda listed them for fiscal year 2026, but the board determined they should be for fiscal year 2027. Upon reviewing the documents, they found further discrepancies, with some papers dated for fiscal years 2025 and 2026, and concluded the warrants needed to be redone. Under new business, the board signed the motor vehicle excise commitment number three, totaling $618,580.67. The next meeting was scheduled for June 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM, and the meeting was adjourned at 10:31 AM.
