B
Yes,
we
are,
let
me
so
I'm
going
to
allow
deborah
mastroni
to
speak.
C
Me,
okay,
john
and
I
are
here-
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
us,
we
can
see
the
five
of
you,
but
do
you
want
to
speak.
E
Well,
we
have
two
vehicles
that
mean
a
lot
to
us
and
but
they're
not
frequently
driven
and
we
were
looking
to
get
some.
What.
C
A
discount
on
the
taxes
they're,
both
one
is
a
fiat
spider,
which
is
a
1980
car
and
our
we
paid
almost
300
in
taxes
on
that
car.
C
The
second
one
is
a
mercedes
1973
and
we
paid
252
on
taxes
and
so
we're
here
this
morning
to
see
if
we
could
get
a
reduction
in
the
taxes
on
those
two
cars.
A
All
right,
this
is
john
parfit,
I'm
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
assessment
appeals,
I'm
going
to
read
a
little
a
couple
of
introductions
before
we
go
on
further,
just
so
that,
because
we
are
being
recorded,
so
if
you'll
just
be
questioned
for
a
minute
sure
is
out
of
the
way
all
right
now.
A
This
meeting
is
to
take
place
in
a
webinar
format
through
zoom.
I
am
the
chairman
of
the
baa
john
parker
jr.
I
can
be
known
as
the
chairman,
because
we
have
another
member
named
john
and
there's
to
eliminate
confusion.
A
Attendees
are
the
appellants,
no
public
speaking
other
than
the
appellants
are
scheduled
for
the
appeal
appointments
with
the
board.
It
is
being
broadcast,
live
via
municipal
tv
gmtv,
let's
see
and
well
to
make
a
motion.
A
second
motion
be
a
member
should
speak
into
the
phone
or
computer
microphone
all
right.
Now,
that's
all
the
official
stuff,
I'm
gonna
do
the
hearing
introduction
for
you,
your
and
I
do
this
in
front
of
every
appellate.
Your
hearing
will
be
with
the
board
of
assessment
appeals
board.
A
A
C
Okay,
1980
fiat
spider,
so
you
know
I
I
think
I
was
told
at
the
town
hall
that
if
a
car
is
over
25
years
old,
we
could
request
a
reduction
in
taxes.
Is
that
correct.
A
It's
over
20
years
and
it's
a
reduction
in
the
assessment,
not
actually
the
taxes,
because
we
don't
deal
with
the
money
part
of
it
just
in
the
value,
and
there
is
a
form
that
you
can
come
into
town
hall
to
fill
out
for
anything
over
20
years
to
have
it
permanently
changed
as
a
into
a
classic
status.
C
I
believe
I
did
that
for
the
future
correct
it's
it's
a
form
that
will
change
the
assessment
for
future.
C
Believe
so
yes,
but
I'm
here,
if
my
memory
serves
me
correctly,
because
this
was
a
couple
months
ago,
when
I
paid
the
taxes
that
we
could
attend
this
meeting
and
perhaps
request
a
a
reduction
for
the
taxes
we've
already
paid,
I'm
like
correct
or
not,
I'm
not
sure,
but
I'm
I'm
pretty
sure.
We
filled
out
the
form
going
forward.
A
A
Okay,
if
you
hold
on
one
second
door,
click
on
that,
but
does
anybody
else
have
any
discussion
or
further
questions.
C
C
But
I
was
under
the
assumption
that
we
could
get
a
a
rebate
or
something
on
the
taxes
we
paid
in
july.
B
G
B
Have
two
affidavits
dated
july:
second,
one
for
each
car
for
the
antique
car
assessment.
A
And
that
takes,
when
is
the
date
that
takes
place
for
mary.
A
Right:
okay,
just
wanted
to
clarify
all
right:
the
1980
fiat
spider.
Does
anybody
else
have
any
questions
or.
D
Is
is
there
anything
special
that
we
should
know
about
that
car
as
far
as
its
condition.
E
Nothing
outstanding,
it's
just
a
car
that
we
use
not
not
frequently
at
all.
C
Just
a
summer
car,
I
don't
know
how
many
miles
of
year.
E
The
mercedes
the
mercedes
was
my
mom's
car
and
I
purchased
that
from
my
father
and
so
that's
kind
of
special
to
us
and
the
same
with
that,
that's
we
use
that
very
infrequently
and
again
I'd,
say
I'd,
be
surprised
if
we
put
300
miles
on
that
car
a
year.
A
All
right,
so
it
is
not
your
main
source
of
transportation.
Then.
D
Your
main
source
of
transportation
are
those
other
cars
that
you
have
registered
here
in
connecticut.
G
F
Yeah,
I
refresh
my
memory
regarding
the
plastic
status,
so
that
reduces
it
to
a
assessed
value
of.
A
All
right
is
there
any
any
other
discussion.
F
F
As
you
look
at
the
the
full
value
on
the
feed,
it's
15
000,
we
have
it
with
nada
167,
you
know,
cess
value
is
10-7,
that's
quite
a
precipitous
drop
to
500,
but
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
is
all.
G
F
A
A
Yes,
is
there
any
other
session
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
of
reducing
the
fiat
to
the
assessed
value
of
500,
say
bye,
aye.
A
C
A
Does
anybody
have
any
feelings
on
how
we
want
to
proceed
with
this?
Make
a
motion
for
reduce
the
assessment
or
any
other
conversation
at
the
moment.
A
A
All
right,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
is
there
any
further
discussion.
H
A
I
A
That
that
passes
with
one
extension
extend
excuse
me
extend
okay,
let
me
slow
down
here
all
right,
then.
A
So
you
for
the
last
master
annie's.
Sorry,
if
I
messed
up
the
name,
you
will
be
receiving
notification
from
the
assessor
within
seven
days
and
you
can
then
take
that
decision
to
the
assessor.
I'm
sorry
to
the
tax
collector
and
the
tax
office
will
process
it
and
you'll
be
probably
receiving
a
refund
in
the
mail
at
one
point
in
the
future.
C
Are
we
are
we
finished?
Yes,.
B
H
E
H
H
F
Aware
of
it,
but
I
didn't
have
time
to
go
through
that-
I
just
did
the
let's
look.
Yeah,
you
find
the
vehicle
in
the
year.
Okay,
so
we
have
all
the
information
would
have.
I
mean
when
we
ask
people
about
specifically
their
specific
vehicle,
whether
there's
some
damage
or
rust
or
whatever
or
high
mileage.
That's
usually
when
it
was
com
would
come
up
and
then
we
would
look
at
the
mileage
charts
and
all
that.
But
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
do
that
when
I
went
in
okay.
C
A
All
right,
this
is
john
parfit.
I
am
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
testament
appeals,
I'm
going
to
be
referred
to
as
the
chairman,
because
we
have
another
member
named
john
to
eliminate
confusion.
A
A
A
J
Yes,
sir,
it's
it's
getting
high
mileage,
176
000.
It's
had
a
couple
accidents,
so
there's
body
damage
and
a
little
bit
of
rust.
J
J
Sir
yeah
it's
on
its
way
out,
but
it
still
runs.
A
Would
you
pay
what
looks
like
to
me
a
full
value
of
from
the
nada
book
of
a
little
over
2
000?
Is
that
something
you
would
pay
right
off
the
cuff
line.
J
Yeah,
it's
been
assessed
at
five
hundred
dollars
for
the
last
couple
years
when
I
brought
it
down
in
person,
and
it's
only
gotten
worse,
not
improved
at
all.
A
All
right
I
see
the
problem,
is
the
state
sends
down
what
the
state
thinks
it
needs
to
be
done
at
so
we
have
to
go
here
and
make
all
the
readjustments
as
necessary.
Even
if
you've
been
here
like
we've
had
a
couple
of
other
people
every
year
for
like
the
last
10
years,
it
seems
so
and
we
had
it
assessed
at
500
last
year,.
A
G
F
Wayne
we
we
assessment
70
of
full
value.
So
that's
what
we
base
the
taxes
on
the
assessed
value.
A
All
right,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor
for
the
reduction,
all
those
in
favor.
F
A
F
H
H
One
one
comment
I'd
like
to
make:
if
you
have
a
cracked
windshield,
that's
generally
covered
under
your
insurance
at
no
cost
to
you,
and
you
might
like
to
look
into
that
because
it's
it's
those
those
things
can
be
dangerous.
J
Yes,
sir,
I
don't
have
glass
coverage
currently
on
my
policy,
but
okay,
that's
that
was
replacement.
A
Right
so,
mr
atkins,
you
will
be
receiving
a
notice
from
the
assessor
within
the
next
week
or
so,
and
you
can
take
that
down
to
the
tax
office
and
if
you've
already
paid
your
taxes,
they'll
process
it
and
send
you
a
refund
at
one
point
in
time,
but
you'll
get
all
that
them.
H
B
D
B
There
is
jamie
lee
looks
to
be
waiting.
Let
me
just
make
sure
I
don't
have
any
phone
calls
from
nope.
I
do
not
appear
to
all
right.
F
A
Not
yet,
please
I'm
sorting
a
couple
of
things
of
paperwork
and
then
I'll
be
right
with
you.
A
All
right,
then,
this
is
jamie.
Lee
correct.
K
A
All
right,
my
name,
is
john
parfit.
I
am
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
assessment
appeals.
You
can
refer
to
me
as
the
chairman
only
because
we
have
another
member
whose
name
is
john,
so
that
eliminates
confusion.
A
A
A
If
you
disagree
with
the
decision
of
the
board,
you
have
the
right
to
file
an
appeal
with
superior
court.
All
right.
That
being
said,
you
have
two
vehicles:
2012
merced,
that
mercedes
and
2010
mercedes.
K
K
I
did
get
a
appraisal
from
carriage
house
of
new
london
in
the
amount
of
2800,
which
I
can
you
know
bring
in
that,
and
also
I
can
bring
in
the
certificate
of
title
showing
that
these
are
both
rebuilt
salvage
vehicles,
which
appraise
at
a
lesser
value
than
what
has
been
recorded.
So
I'm
just
asking
that
they
get.
You
know
you
know
pretty
much
they're
almost
half
of
what
their
value
is
and
would
like
to
request
a
reduction
in
taxes
already
paid
which
were
paid
in
july
and
then
going
forward
as
well.
K
A
Yes,
we
would
need
to
see
the
copies
on
those,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
best
way
to
get
it
in
today.
Could
it
be.
A
All
right,
there's
probably
nothing
else.
We
need
for
questions
on
that
until
we
get
those
scans
in
here,
but
as
long
as
we
have
them,
we'll
should
be
able
to
make
some
kind
of
a
decision
on
them
today
and
if
we
get
them
in
a
little
bit,
we
can
make
the
decision
on
that
sometime
later
in
this
meeting.
A
Anybody
else
have
any
other
questions
or
things
there.
So
all
right,
I
feel
like
we
can't
make
a
decision
at
this
moment.
So
that's
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
hang
on
to
this
for
some
time
later,
in
this
meeting.
G
A
A
All
right,
what
have
we
been
doing
in
there?
Does
anybody
remember
what
we
have
done
in
the
past
as
far
as
a
salvage
vehicle?
Don't
do
them
that
often.
D
K
K
G
F
Yeah
we
we
had
it
at
full
value
at
6800.
F
Full
value
on
the
gl
at
13
4,
which
was
almost
identical
to
the
nada.
But
you
know.
B
K
K
D
F
B
F
B
A
I
think
there's
a
future
appellant
here
somewhere
that
has
a
salvage.
So
for
our
case,
that
would
be
like
three
vehicles
that
are
salvaged
this
particular
session.
I
can
only
call
salvage
happening,
maybe
two
or
three
other
times
in
the
years
that
I've
been
on
there.
B
B
Jamie
when
you
send
the
email,
just
let
me
know
you
sent
it
so
I
know
when
to
expect
it.
K
F
B
K
K
B
B
N
A
All
right
does
anybody
have
any
idea
of
what
kind
of
a
value
I'm
thinking
sort
of
roughly
half
of
what
we
have
for
full
value
on
both
vehicles.
Anybody
want
to
chime
in.
H
Looks
like
they're
they're,
two
titles:
they
both
they
both
indicate
rebuilt
salvage.
A
F
A
Now,
on
the
2012,
do
you
have
a
statement
of
value
from
carriage
house
as
well
on
that
one,
as
well
as
the
2010.
K
No,
I
only
got
an
appraisal
because
I
was
looking
at
doing
a
trade-in
and
that's
that's
when
I
got
the
appraised
value.
This
was
in
may
of
2020
and
the
appraisal
amount
was
2
800.
K
K
F
A
A
Right,
I
just
did
a
quick
math
if
you
were
to
take
half
of
the
seven
eighty,
that's
of
seventy
percent
that
comes
to
twenty
three.
Ninety
at
the
seventy
percent
value
is
that
someplace
we
wanna
start
looking
at
we're
talking
about,
because
that's
pretty
close
to
what
they
offered
her
at
carriage
house
of
this
time
by
may
of
last
year
of
2800.
B
F
F
K
J
F
F
D
Typically,
your
your
trade
value
is
much
lower
than
your
retail
value,
because
that's
the
right,
that's
the
amount.
The
deal
is
going
to
give
you
towards
it
right
now
and
if
you
look
at
the
nada
book,
the
value
of
2
900
for
a
trade
in
the
full
value
is
4700.
A
D
F
F
So
I
moved
that
we
revised
the
the
assessed
value
to
65.94.
F
A
A
Hearing
none
motion
passes
all
right.
Ms
lee
we're
going
to
be
sending
you
within
seven
days,
a
notice
from
the
assessor's
office
on
our
decision.
A
Okay
and
then
I
guess
it
means
we're
all
set
from
today
and
unless
there's
somebody
else
with
a
question
or
comment.
G
L
H
Have
other
other
people
with
salvage
vehicles
what
what
john's
diazenza
suggested
was
basically
a
30
reduction
off
of
fair
market
value
and
then
recalculate
everything
from
that.
If
that
makes
sense
to
everybody,
then
we
probably
ought
to
try
to
be
somewhat
consistent
right.
It
would
be
okay
with
me.
It
sounds
that
sounds
like
a
pretty
good
place.
F
H
H
H
A
G
B
When
we
say
round
whatever
the
appraised
value
is
70
of
that
just
round
it
to
a
nearest
dollar
one
way
or
the
other
up
or
down
or
or
tens.
So
if
it's
66
6645
make
it
6650
or
6640.
Something
like
that.
Okay,.
B
A
A
L
F
Mr
akovalos
hasn't
shown
up
mary
someone
needs
movies.
B
No
and
there's
no
phone
calls,
so
I
I
have.
I
have
no
communication
from
him
all.
F
Right
so
the
the
soraya
cologne
milan
is
next
at
10.,
so
I'm
not
sure
she's.
There.
F
F
Hey
jim
mitchell,
yeah
yeah,
there
were
a
lot
of
submerged
cars
in
new
york,
new
jersey
with
fred
ida
and
henry
too
no
there's,
there's
going
to
be
a
they're
going
to
be
a
lot
of
salvaged
vehicles,
floating
right.
H
F
G
B
My
email
is
open
every
now
and
then
I
look
to
see
outside,
but
parks
and
rec
is
going
on.
So
there's
a
lot
of
cars
out
here
today,
but
I
think
the
appellants
have
more
than
one
way
to
get
in
touch
with
you
through
me
to
let
us
know
that
they're
having
a
hard
time
dialing
in
or
or
whatnot
just
like
mr
atkins
called
a
couple
of
times
on
my
phone.
B
G
G
G
G
G
A
O
So
so
far
it's
been
really
helpful,
just
to
kind
of
observe
the
process.
Like
I
said
I
think
we
talked
on
the
phone
last
night
john.
It
was
my
first
kind
of
exposure
to
either
motor
vehicle
valuation
or
the
the
appellate
process.
So
it's
just
helpful
to
listen
so
far,
so
I
appreciate
it.
A
F
Fact
that
people
are
in
the
queue
waiting
and
we
have
reported
and
then
we've
got
someone
else
in
there
or
a
couple
of
people,
but
this
this
lull
is
unusual.
So.
H
Matt,
if
this
is
just,
if
I
remember
correctly,
mary,
can
help
me,
but
I
believe
these
numbers
come
from
the
state
and
then
mary
gets
them
and
sends
them
out.
B
Yeah,
so
matt,
just
by
way
of
kind
of
an
overview
assessors
in
the
state
of
connecticut,
are
governed
by
a
lot
of
things
mostly
statutes,
and
we
have
an
organization
that
we
all
belong
to
called
connecticut.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
don't
come
through
nada,
that
we
have
to
kind
of
find
other
ways
to
value
for
a
majority
of
the
vehicles.
You'll
hear
appeals
for
probably
through
the
nada
books,
and
we
have
them
in
the
office.
You
know
we
buy
our
own
version
every
year
in
connecticut.
The
assessment
date
is
october
1st,
so
you
have
to
always
think
in
terms
of
what
was
this
property
worth
october
1st
and
what
resources
did
the
assessor
use
to
get
to
that
value?
B
So
I'm
just
getting
ready
to
send
you
through
the
email,
your
own
version
of
the
baa
handbook,
cwao.
O
B
G
B
A
I
think
what's
interesting
about
those
sesame
sessions.
Is
you
get
the
board
of
assessment
members
from
various
towns
coming
in
and
you
get
to
talk
with
a
couple
of
different
ones
on
how
their
town
does
most
of
them
seem
to
run
very
similar,
but
finding
there
are
several
towns
that
I'll
just
and
there's
nothing
against
mary
per
se,
but
the
assassin
runs
amok.
A
A
So
but
it's
interesting
to
talk
to
see
other
people
from
other
towns
of
how
they
work.
There
is
their
board
of
assessment
and
you
get
some
good
tips.
Yeah
yeah,
interesting
stories.
B
B
H
D
A
But
matt
what'll
happen
is,
in
the
spring,
be
rebound
being
this
session
will
have
impacted
the
reval
with
a
lot
of
homes.
What
we'll
do
is
we'll
probably
split
up
into
several
groups,
do
all
the
hearings
and
then
at
one
point
we
will
need
as
a
group
to
make
the
decision
on
it.
A
So
if
we
get
another
alternate
between
now
and
then
I
envision
three
groups
of
two
splitting
off
to
try
and
get
as
many
as
we
can
done
at
least
all
the
information
in
and
then
it
sometimes
makes
it
a
lot
easier
when
it
comes
time
to
making
the
decision,
because
we
don't
have
to
individually
think
about
every
single
one
and
who
knows
how
many
we'll
have
we
could
have
100
200
300
appeals.
We
don't
know.
A
B
A
Yeah
sales
sales
in
various
neighborhoods,
because
you
know
a
field
crest
neighborhood-
is
going
to
be
evaluated
different
than
a
no-link,
neighborhood
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So.
B
Yeah
and
when
we
contract
with
the
reval
contractor,
which
is
tyler
technologies,
they'll,
come
and
make
a
presentation
to
the
board
members
at
your
first
meeting,
so
that
you
have
their
background
on
how
they
did
what
they
did.
Ultimately,
our
office
is
responsible
for
the
results
and
we're
pretty
well
educated
on
what
they
did,
because
we
work
in
partnership
with
them
and
you'll
have
a
set
of
sales
that
they
use
to
value.
B
M
B
A
B
So
revaluations
became
data
managed
in
the
early
90s.
Our
first
revaluation
company
that
used
to
cam
a
package
was
vision.
O
B
B
B
A
Australia
might
be
consistent,
there's
always
call
them
exceptions
to
the
rule
where
you
know
you
have
that
one
odd
house,
or
something
in
it
where
everybody's
at
a
certain
level.
Well,
you
got
one
that's
up
or
one
is
down
and
try,
as
you
might
to
get
it
them
all
equal,
there's,
always
something
that
falls
through
the
cracks
that
we
try
to
fix
and
adjust
as
necessary.
A
Then
there
are
some
houses
that
I
think
we
see
the
same
issue
over
and
over
again,
so
sometimes
mary
can
flag
certain
ones
that
for
us
to
take
a
look
at
that,
we
know
what
you
do
and
things
like
that.
B
B
B
B
I
A
All
right,
mr
trump,
my
name
is
john
parkman.
I
am
the
chairman
of
the
board
of
responsible
appeals
and
I'm
going
to
be
referred
to
as
the
chairman,
because
we
have
another
member
whose
name
is
john.
So
to
avoid
it
confusion,
I'm
going
to
read
you
a
little
introduction
first
and
then
it'll
be
your
turn
all
right.
A
Your
hearing
will
be
with
the
board
of
assessment
appeals
board.
Members
are
volunteers,
appointed
by
the
town
council
and
our
residents
and
taxpayers
in
the
town
of
groton.
This
hearing
is
your
opportunity
to
state
your
case
about
why
you
disagree
with
the
valuation
established
by
the
assessor's
office.
A
The
evidence
or
exhibits
you
submit
will
become
part
of
the
permanent
record
will
be
notified
in
writing
of
the
board's
decision.
If
you
disagree
with
the
decision
of
the
board,
you
have
the
right
to
file
an
appeal
with
superior
court,
and
what
you
have
here
on
our
list
is
a
2004,
the
ranger
okay.
Now
it's
your
turn,
tell
us
all
about
the
ford.
I
F
I
have
a
question.
I
was
looking
up
the
nada
values
on
these
various
vehicles
that
were
being
appealed
and
I
couldn't
identify.
Is
it
a
extra
cab
or
a
long
bed
or
because
all
I
have
is
ford
ranger
for
information.
I
52.
152
000.
A
All
right
here
this
is
the
chairman
speaking
I'm
looking
at
some
receipts
that
you
had
sent
in
and
looks
like
work
recently
done,
and
it
appears
to
be
in
a
neighborhood
of
about
a
thousand
to
twelve
hundred
dollars.
Is
that
correct.
I
About
four
months
ago,
six
months
ago,.
O
I
F
A
A
F
Mr
tranquita,
do
you
have
an
estimate
on
the
body
work
by
chance?
You're
gonna
have
the
body
restored.
I
F
I
mean
if
you
were
going
to
have
it,
do
you
have
like
an
estimate
on
how
much
to
bring
I
mean.
The
leaf
springs
might
be
related
to
the
rust
right,
I'm
assuming
yeah,
but
did
you
get
an
estimate?
You
said
it's
like
swiss
cheese,
so
that
would
be
helpful
to
get
an
estimate
how
much
it
would
cost
to
it
would
cost
to
to
perform
the
bodywork.
F
I
B
So
I
don't
know
if
you
folks
know,
but.
I
B
I
D
J
F
F
G
F
F
Yeah,
it's
roughly
yeah
at
17
years
old.
B
The
book
breaks
it
down
by
vehicle
year,
so
it
starts
at
2012
and
it
goes
back
to
2006
and
older
and
it
in
the
column
for
2006
and
older.
It's
125
dollars.
B
B
H
H
B
I
B
G
F
Yeah,
okay,
I
think
that
you
have
you
have
a
super
cab
or
extra
cab
xlt.
So
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
make
a
motion
that
we
reduce
the
full
value
to
or
assess
value
to,
1700
based
on
a
full
value,
or
I
mean
a
assessed
value
to
1700,
based
upon
a
full
value
of
2
000
predicated
upon
the
condition
of
the
vehicle
and
what
the
nada
shows
for
the.
H
A
All
right,
we
have
a
motion
with
a
second
to
reduce
the
assist
value
to
17,
based
on
condition,
and
anybody
else
have
any
comments.
A
F
F
So
it'd
be
1400
for
assessed
value,
full
value
2000.
I
said
1700
because
I
was
thinking
of
the
17
25
and
the
rough
and
the
column
for
up.
So
it's
full
value,
2000
assets,
value,
1400.,.
A
A
All
right,
then,
we'll
adjust
that
for
the
miscalculation.
A
A
A
I
H
Mary,
we
were
talking
about
tyler
a
little
while
ago
and
they
they
came
by
and
I
wanted
to
show
them
inside
the
house
there's
some
things
I
wanted
them
to
see
and
they
said
they're
not
allowed
to
go
inside
anymore.
B
B
H
B
H
H
H
B
H
B
A
F
H
F
A
Hi
chairman,
you
call
me
the
chairman,
because
another
member's
name
is
john:
I'm
gonna
read
you
a
little
statement
and
then
it'll
be
your
turn.
We're
hearing
we'll
be
with
the
board
of
assessment,
appeals
and
board
members,
our
volunteers
appointed
by
the
town
council
and
our
residents
in
taxpayers
with
tonight.
A
This
hearing
is
your
opportunity
to
state
your
case
about
why
you
disagree
with
the
valuation
established
by
the
assessor's
office.
Any
evidence
or
exhibits
you
submit
will
become
part
of
the
permanent
record
you'll
be
notified
in
writing
of
the
board's
decision.
If
you
disagree
with
the
decision
of
the
board,
you
have
the
right
to
file
an
appeal
with
the
superior
court
being
said.
It's
now.
Your
turn.
N
Hi,
so
as
I've
done
this
every
year,
several
years
for
the
same
car
in
the
same
condition
just
older
well
a
little
worse
on
the
inside,
because
I
have
a
very
active
dog
that
has
free
run
and
so
the
front
seat
is
falling
apart,
etc,
etc.
But
anyway,
it
functions
conditionally.
But
its
value,
I
think,
is
listed
with
the
town
at
39.
N
39
50.
39.60
and
when
I
do
a
kelly
blue
book
value,
I
come
up
with
like
1200.
So
that's
that's!
That's
the
way
it.
N
And
the
duct
tape
is
still
there.
Nothing
has
changed.
F
G
F
N
A
A
All
right,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
reduce
the
vehicle
to
1500
assessed.
Is
there
any
other.
A
Items
that
anybody
needs
to
discuss
at
this
moment
about
it
renon
all
those
in
favor
of
the
reduction
say
aye.
D
A
N
Thank
you
chairman.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
As
always,
thank
you,
too,
for
your
service
of
doing
this.
H
F
F
F
H
A
A
Yeah
matt
for
your
information.
This
is
one
that
we
have
reduced
over
the
last
I
don't
know
10
years
or
so,
because
it
isn't
not
an
accurate
nada
description
of
it.
Then
there's
no
argument
with
it.
There
is
a
reduction
there.
M
But
yes,
what
I'm
sorry!
I
miss
what
kind
of
vehicle
this
is.
G
F
G
B
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
B
B
F
A
A
Your
hearing
will
be
with
the
board
of
assessment
appeals
board.
Members
are
volunteers,
appointed
by
the
town
council
and
our
residents
and
taxpayers
in
the
town
of
groton.
This
hearing
is
your
opportunity
to
state
your
case
about
why
you
disagree
with
the
valuation
established
by
the
services
office.
Any
evidence
or
exhibits
you
submit
will
become
part
of
the
permanent
record.
P
Well,
it's
as,
as
you
well
know,
mr
chairman,
I'm
here
on
a
yearly
basis,
because
I
get
over
assessed.
I'm
also
referring
to
my
appeal
last
year,
where
you
lowered
my
assessment
to
two
thousand
eight
hundred
and
fifty
dollars.
There
are
various
items
on
my
truck
that
require
deductions
because
they
are
not
part
of
the
should
we
say
average
that
the
I
guess
the
state
looks
at
for
their
pricing,
such
as
the
fact
that
it's
a
standard
so
there's
there's
no
automatic
transmission.
P
There
are
there's
no
cruise
control.
There
are
no
power
door
locks,
there's
a
it's,
not
a
work
truck,
it's
it
has
a
v6
engine.
There
is
so
I
mean
it's,
it's
a
it's
a
bare
bones
truck
and
I
would
be
happy
if
you
would
just
lower
me
back
to
what
you
did
last
year.
I
A
G
A
B
A
L
A
A
A
A
A
G
G
G
G
G
G
G
H
H
H
H
D
B
F
B
F
B
F
A
A
Well,
the
mandate
just
came
out
whether
people
will
be
required
to
either
take
the
vaccination
or
be
tested
every
week
or,
however,
it
works
out.
I
don't
know
all
those
details,
but
I
know
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
unhappy
people.
You
know
personally,
you
know
having
had
covert
and
in
the
hospital
and
then
I've
had
both
my
shots.
I
continue
to
I'm
going
to
continue
to
take
it,
regardless
of
who
says
what
to
who
and
why.
G
G
F
A
Yeah,
there's
a
lot
of
people
still
working
at
home.
Anybody
who
can't-
but
I
I
can't
see-
I
can't
see
the
art
people
trying
to
build
something
in
their
backyard
from
home.
A
I'm
still
in
the
office
on
kings
highway
at
the
moment,
but.
A
A
A
You
I
don't
know
why
you're
not
doing
it
unless
you
have
other
people
saying
that
I
don't
want
it
well.
D
A
You
know
I
do
hope
that
people
decide
to
take
it
anyway
and
get
it
over
with.
Yes,
you
might
be
a
little
sick.
I
feel
a
little
funny
on
the
initial
shots.
I
could
feel
a
little
bit
more
in
the
second
first
one
with
just
a
little
slow
in
the
arm,
but
without
it
the
end
result
is
not
pleasant.
D
A
Wow,
of
course
I
know
john
you,
jim
and
don
you
know
prepared
you
to
really
not
at
any
workplace.
You
know
like
me
or
many
others
are
so
yeah.
You
almost
see
things
a
little
bit
differently,
but
you
still
do
what
you
do.
G
G
G
G
G
L
F
So
we
have
gene
reed
coming
up:
11
45.
I
guess.
A
A
I
B
B
G
G
G
G
A
Well,
sort
of
declare
generate
a
no-show.
Let
me
take
a
15-minute
break,
grab
some
lunch
and
come
back
at
12
15
for
the
next
appellant.
A
A
A
A
G
G
G
G
G
B
G
L
F
A
F
G
F
M
G
G
G
F
Give
him
a
couple
more
minutes.
I
guess
all
right.
A
Yeah
yeah
all
right
at
12,
22
we're
back
in
session.
We
have
mr
wild
waiting
for
us,
mr
wild.
Are
you
there.
A
Your
hearing
will
be
with
the
board
of
assessment
appeals
board.

This

If
you

you
will

the
right

file
an
appeal
with
superior
court,
and
now
it
is
your
turn
tell
us
all
about
your
2014
ford,
fusion.
L
Yep,
first
of
all,
thank
god.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
meeting
with
me
today
on
this
saturday.
So
it's
a
2014
ford
fusion,
with
103
500
miles
on
it.
It
is
a
rebuilt
salvage
title,
which
is
the
main
reason
that
I'm
asking
for
the
value
to
be
reassessed.
L
Currently,
the
value
on
the
motor
vehicle
tax
bill
I
received
is
at
7120,
but
with
the
rebuild
salvage
title,
I
believe
that
it
should
be
20
to
40
percent.
Less
than
that,
since
it's
been
rebuilt,
there's
been
ex
extensive
paint,
damage
and
that's
needed
to
be
repaired
and
that
further
diminishes
the
quality.
B
L
L
When
it
was
close
to
new,
it
was
in
a
front
collision.
Oh
okay,.
F
F
So
we've
been,
we've
encountered
a
few
of
these
type
vehicles
in
this.
Actually,
today's
session
sean
and
we
sort
of
developed
the
methodology
need
to
be
consistent
with,
and
so
having
said
that
we're
basically
taking
the
assessed
value,
which
is
in
this
case
7120.
F
That's
the
assessed
value
because
the
full
market
value,
the
nada,
are
10
171,
10
175,
respectively,
and
so
we
would
well
based
on
that
methodology.
We
would
assign
a
full
value
of
70,
7120
or
7100
so
full
value,
and
that
would
be
consistent
with
what
we've
done
with
the
other
vehicles
that
we
had
appeals
on
and
that
would
bring
the
assessed
value
down
to
5
000,
approximately
rounding
up
or
49.70,
but
we
tend
to
round
so
and
therefore
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
accordingly.
D
F
A
All
right,
so
your
emotions.
B
Excuse
me:
are
you
making
the
assessment
4970
5
000.?
You
have
to
be
specific
because
we've
posted,
as
you
decide.
A
Hearing
none,
we
have
a
motion
to
make
it
the
assessed
value
of
five
thousand.
We
have
a
second
all,
those
in
favor,
say:
aye,
bye,
bye,
opposed,
abstentions,
hearing
none
so
carried
for
assessed
value
of
five
thousand
dollars
all
right,
then
you
will
receive
a
notice
in
the
mail
from
the
assessor's
office
as
to
our
decision
today,
do
you
have
any
other
questions
or.
A
A
So
I
guess
we
can
take
a
break
for
the
moment
and
come
back
when
the
minutes
are
ready.
G
G
G
G
B
B
F
Mary,
you
want,
you
might
want
to
put
a
space
in
between
john
and
terry
acavallos
and
then
then
jamie
lee.
L
B
F
You
got
two
periods
after
for
jamie
lee,
which
says
flood
salvage
rebuilt
period,
then
period
in
may
2020.
A
I
see
the
same
issue
between
hope,
braden
and
karen
adams
with
no
space
in
between
the
two.
I
assume
that
goes
to
another
page.
J
B
H
H
B
F
B
I
I
B
F
It's
all
gray,
yeah
the
only
thing
you're
changing
then,
is
the
lunch
break
and
then
I
think
the
who's
second
of
the
la
motion,
the
last
one
correct
I've.
D
D
A
Good,
okay,
then,
do
I
need
to
make
a
motion
for
as
amended
or
just
to
accept
the
minutes.
F
A
A
B
You
probably
should
make
a
motion
to
adjourn
and
go
through
that
process.
Yeah.
G
L
B
B
B
F
A
I
just
before
I
everybody
else
can
go.
I
just
didn't
want
mary
to
cut
me
off,
yet
I
just
had
a
question
on
the
form.
You
just
need
the
form
back
itself.
Correct.
Yes,
but
you
don't
need
any
of
the
other
paperwork.
B
A
Right
then,
I
I
will
have
that
I'll,
probably
put
it
in
there,
the
green
box
outside
probably
tomorrow,
and
you
should
have
it
for
monday.
