Minutes of the Board of Assessors Meeting of February 21, 2013 A meeting of the Board of Assessors was held on Thursday, February 21, 2013 in Room 208, 2nd floor of City Hall. The meeting was called to order at 8:15 AM by Chair Dominic D'Antoni. Members Present: Dominic D'Antoni Kevin Moriarty George Farrington Assessing Staff Present: Andrew LeMay Greg Turgiss Doug Dame Gary Turgiss Cheryl Walley Minutes of the Meeting: The minutes for the meeting held on February 7, 2013 were approved. Appointments: None. Abatement Requests Presented: A complete listing of all abatements approved/denied is available in the Assessor’s Office. Residential Appraiser, Greg Turgiss, presented an abatement for a condominium located within Ternbury Square development. Mr. Dominic D’Antoni pointed out that the proposed assessment is 18% lower than the original assessment and asked if this might cause inequity of assessments within the development. Mr. Turgiss said that this is an area that he had done a lot of work on last year due to several abatements being filed. We considered looking at it more closely for 2012 but decided against it as there had not been a high percentage of abatements filed to warrant it. Mr. George Farrington asked how the equalization ratio for Nashua compares to other communities and Mr. LeMay answered that most are at 100-110%. MOTION BY Dominic D'Antoni to adjourn at 8:35 AM. SECONDED BY George Farrington. MOTION CARRIED. Transcribed by: Cheryl Walley Department Coordinator 1 of 1
