            5             MS. DAVIS:  Our first item is D2, Tax 

            6    Program Nonappearance Matters - Consent, Property Tax 

            7    Matters.  

            8             These matters do not require contribution 

            9    disclosure forms.  

           10             These are constitutional functions, and they 

           11    may be taken in one vote.  

           12             MS. COHEN:  Mr. Harris.  

           13             MR. HARRIS:  Thank you.  

           14             Good morning, Chair Cohen and Members of the 

           15    Board.  I'm Mike Harris, Acting Chief of the 

           16    State-Assessed Properties Division.  

           17             Before you for your consideration and 

           18    adoption are four petitions.  One is a petition for 

           19    reassessment and unitary value, two are petitions for 

           20    penalty abatement on unitary value, and one is a 

           21    petition for reassessment and penalty abatement on 

           22    unitary value.  

           23             Staff and petitioners are all in agreement 

           24    on the recommendations, and I ask for your adoption.  

           25             Thank you.

           26             MS. COHEN:  All right.

           27             Colleagues, are there any questions?

           28             MR. GAINES:  Just a clarification, if I 




                                                                     3




                                                                      


            1    could.  

            2             MS. COHEN:  Please do.  

            3             MR. GAINES:  So it's my understanding that 

            4    there are 15 property appeals, and this is addressing 

            5    4 of those 15?

            6             MR. HARRIS:  Yes, sir.  

            7             MR. GAINES:  Okay.  Wonderful.  Thank you.  

            8             MS. COHEN:  Mr. Vazquez.  

            9             MR. VAZQUEZ:  And is it correct to assume 

           10    that of these four that are before us today, you and, 

           11    I guess, the appellants were able to come up with a 

           12    win/win situation that you all agreed upon?

           13             MR. HARRIS:  Yes, sir.  

           14             MR. VAZQUEZ:  All right.  Thank you.

           15             MS. COHEN:  All right.  Is there a motion?

           16             MR. GAINES:  So moved.  

           17             MR. VAZQUEZ:  Second.  

           18             MS. COHEN:  All right.  Motion made by 

           19    Senator Gaines and seconded by Vazquez.  

           20             We'll take that without objection.  

           21             Next item, please.
