     3  the  Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church an application for exemption
     4  from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real  property

     9  dates established for such roll. If  satisfied  that  such  organization
    10  would  otherwise  be entitled to such exemption if such organization had
    11  acquired the subject property and filed an application for exemption  by
    12  the  appropriate taxable status date, the assessor, upon approval by the
    13  City of Albany Common Council, may grant exemption from all taxation and
    14  make appropriate corrections to the subject roll. If such  exemption  is
    15  granted  and  such  organization  therefore shall have paid any tax with

    17  in  its  sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes paid and
    18  cancel any taxes, fines, penalties, interest,  or  tax  liens  remaining
    19  unpaid.
