Select Board accepts highway-safety grant and approves veterans and elderly tax exemptions
Summary
The board accepted a highway-safety enforcement grant (about $8,500) to reimburse overtime and approved previously vetted veterans and elderly exemptions and administrative abatements; motions passed by majority vote and documents will be signed after adjournment.
The Select Board voted to accept a highway-safety enforcement grant for the coming year and to approve a batch of veteran and elderly tax exemptions and administrative abatements.
Town staff described the highway-safety grant as the annual enforcement grant that funds DUI and speed-enforcement overtime; the meeting referenced an amount in the $8,200–$8,500 range in the draft paperwork. The board made a motion to accept the grant, seconded it, and voted in favor. Staff noted the grant reimburses overtime accounts and that signatures and notarization are required on the paperwork.
Separately, the Select Board approved all veterans and elderly exemptions that had been recommended by the assessor. A board member moved to approve the exemptions as reviewed by the assessor; the motion was seconded and carried. The board also approved administrative abatements to clear records as requested by staff; no refunds were required.
The motions were recorded in the minutes and the board signed the related paperwork after adjournment, as required for grant acceptance and tax-exemption documentation.
