Nancy Snedeker appeared before the Board to appeal the valuation of Parcel Number 11.171.011.0.

Josephine Morin appeared before the Board to appeal the valuation of Parcel Number 29.100.025.0. A letter written by Richard Morin was presented to the Board stating that the property value increased 11% to 42,900 which did not seem reasonable due to significant drops in housing values nationwide.

Donald Haubrich appeared before the Board to appeal the valuation of his property for parcel numbers 15.120.005.0, 15.120.005.1, and 15.120.006.0.
