County board approves multiple real‑estate refunds and exemptions, including veterans exemption and stormwater exemption

Brooke presented three real‑estate refund items and several exemption approvals to the Board of Assessments & Revisions. She said the first item related to Philip and Tammy Saint James, who submitted a veterans exemption granted on May 30, 2025, and were due a refund for a billing error. "He submitted a veterans exemption, which was granted on 05/30/2025," Brooke said, explaining the refund related to a duplex listing and a payment for the other side.

Brooke also presented refunds for Robert and Patricia Sikalski ($309.16) and Emil Warner ($146.30), both described as having properties destroyed on dates in 2026. The board approved exemptions for a Boys Town Borough stormwater retention basin on Summer Street and parcel consolidations for Calvary Baptist Church, and approved treatment of a fenced yard used by American Legion Post 104 as part of the building. Each item was moved, seconded and approved on the record.
