Pursuant to 30-A M.R.S.A. § 2552, Subsection 2, there is hereby established a Board of Assessment Review. The Board shall consist of five members and two associate members appointed by the City Council for terms of three years each; provided, however, that in the first instance two members shall be appointed for a term of one year, two members shall be appointed for a term of two years and one member, together with both associate members, shall be appointed for a term of three years. Each member shall serve without compensation and serve until his or her successor is appointed. Associate members shall attend all meetings of the Board of Assessment Review and, in the absence of regular members of the Board, shall be entitled to vote on all matters pending before the Board and to otherwise perform the duties of regular Board members. Associate members shall not vote or be counted toward a quorum with respect to any previously continued abatement appeal unless the associate member was present at every prior meeting of the Board at which substantive oral testimony was offered by any party with respect to the appeal concerned.
