All right, I'll call a meeting of the National Board of Assessors to order at 9 a.m.

on Thursday, October 2nd, 2025.

Let the record show that present from the board are Robert Early, Jay Minka, and myself, Charles Dobbins.

All right, close to that.

Can we start over?

Sorry, take it from the top.

Can I get a motion to waive the reading of the public minutes from the Board of Assessors meeting held on Thursday?

Was it September 17th?

Was it?

No.

No.

August 21st.

August 21st.

Yeah, we skipped all over that.

August 21st and accept them and place them on file.

So moved.

Second.

All in favor?

I have it.

And can I get a motion to waive the reading of the non-public minutes from the board of recessors meeting and held on August 21st?

I can read lips.

2025 and accept them and place them on file.

So moved.

Second.

All in favor.

Aye.

I have it.

Okay.

Now we're going to go to our notes here.

First bit here is the communication from the department.

And I think that's Bob.

Is that you?

Yeah.

So I believe you've been supplied with a list of 24 abatements.

And how many were received and how many we've dealt with?

We did get the final report on how many filed at the BTLA.

There were 41 appeals.

We've already started getting some withdrawals on the residential that were the batch of abatements you granted in August late.

And the people had, you know, in case they weren't granted, they had filed.

And some of those are already coming in as as yeah, I I got I got the abatement that was granted, and I'm withdrawing this appeal.

So I think that 19 numbers can come down quite a bit.

We don't have a report on how many superior court appeals have been received yet.

Those tend to take a little longer, even though the deadline is the same September 1st.

Um what actions come in from the uh from the court.

Uh we're sure there'll be some there, but we don't know how many yet.

What's the difference in there?

If you look at that first page, you have 97 commercial abatements received.

I mean, look at the 147 residential, those two granted and denied add add up together.

You get 97 commercial abatements.

Three of them we've acted on, uh leaving 90 94 to go.

Uh and then you get the BTLA filings.

Like where's the there's a seems like there's a missing group.

Yeah, so the 94 that weren't acted on were deemed denied.

So they were denied by denied.

Yep, that's that's if the city doesn't take action by July 1st, then they're um statutorily viewed as deemed denied, which the effect is the same as being denied just without action.

Um, commercial.

I'm sorry.

Residential and commercial, that rule applies.

And number of residential that letter too, but we tried to continue working on the residential ones.

Not everyone that was deemed denied will appeal to BTLA or superior court.
