Meeting called to order at 3:30 PM with Gordon and Ron present. Janet is out ill. Ron was newly elected Monday the 5th for the three year term for assessors. He was duly sworn in by the Town Clerk. Reviewed and acted on abatement applications for Jeffrey Perry and Sunrise Cable Inc. with the Field Clerk, Norman Taylor. After checking with the records, it was felt that Sunrise Cable Inc./ Dennis J. Berube et als at 9 Quail Run was not over valued, but comparisons that were undervalued as sale price of the foreclosed (distressed sale) was close to the assessment. Antoinette Miller requested a meeting with the Board. Glenna will set up appointment before final decision is made. Jeffrey Perrys value was reduced by Taunton as in the past and as Lakevilles portion has not changed since the last revaluation three years ago, it was denied. Value will be changed in the upcoming 2005 revaluation in December 2004. Glenna will write Mr. Perry to explain the denials.
