     3  from the Board of Fire Commissioners of the East Northport Fire District
     4  an application for  exemption  from  real  property  taxes  pursuant  to
     5  section  420-a  of  the  real  property  tax  law,  with  respect to the
     6  2017-2018 assessment roll, for the parcel conveyed to such  organization
     7  located  at  206 Laurel Road and Laurel Road, in the town of East North-

    12  received on or before the taxable status date established for such roll.
    13  If  satisfied that such organization would otherwise be entitled to such

    20  for the refund of those taxes paid and cancel those taxes, fines, penal-
    21  ties, liens or interest remaining unpaid.
