     4  exemption from real property taxes pursuant to section 420-a of the real
     5  property tax law (a) for the 2017-2018 assessment roll for  the  parcels

    21  town board may grant exemption from taxation with respect to the subject
    22  rolls  and  make  appropriate  correction to the subject rolls.   If the
    23  exemption is granted and such  not-for-profit  organization  shall  have
    24  paid  any  tax  with regard to the subject rolls, the town of Islip town
    25  board may, in its sole discretion, provide for the refund of those taxes
    26  paid and cancel taxes, fines, penalties,  liens  or  interest  remaining
    27  unpaid.
