Selectmen approve minutes, new policy, tax abatement, excavation notice and water/sewer warrants
Summary
At the meeting the board approved routine business: minutes and a new ‘board submissions and community minutes’ policy, a $426 clerical tax abatement and associated supplemental tax warrant, a notice of intent to excavate, and several water/sewer warrants and meter reads. The board also voted to seal nonpublic session minutes under RSA 91‑A:32(a).
The Ossipee Town Selectmen approved a series of routine administrative items at their meeting, including meeting minutes, a new policy for board submissions, a clerical tax abatement and multiple water and sewer warrants.
The board voted to reenter the public meeting and then made a motion to seal the nonpublic minutes from session one under RSA 91A 32A (the transcript records the motion as: “Make a motion to seal the non public minutes from session one under RSA 91A 32A. Session two under C and section three under ...”). The motion passed by voice vote; a roll call earlier in the meeting recorded “Kyle: yes” and “Smith: yes.”
Business approvals voted by the board included:
• Acceptance of the Selectmen’s meeting minutes from Monday, Sept. 8 (motion: “I make a motion that we accept these meetings, that we approve these minutes”).
• Adoption of a new policy described in the meeting as the “board submissions and community minutes” policy (motion: “I'd like to make a motion that we accept this new policy”); the policy was reported as published on the town site and will be distributed to the secretary.
• Approval of a clerical tax abatement for tax map 002, lot 13 (18 Logan Way) in the amount of $426 plus interest (motion: “I'd like to make a motion that we approve that one”). The board also approved a supplemental tax warrant to send the corrected tax bill for the same property in the amount of $426.
• Approval of a notice of intent to excavate for tax map 124, lot 025 on Route 28 (motion: “Like to make a motion that we approve that as well”). The board confirmed taxes for the parcel were paid.
• Approval of three water/sewer warrants and related charges. The amounts discussed in the meeting transcript were: $12,944.74 (hydrants/commercial fees), $23,315 (monthly bill) and $41,778 (receptacle haulers). The board also approved a final meter read for map 91, lot 53 in the amount of $126.86. The motions recorded were: “Make a motion to approve these” followed by “Second,” and the board voted by voice.
• The board acknowledged a planning‑board notice of decision: the planning board granted a special‑use permit for map 22, lot 29 (44 Bay Point Road); the selectmen noted the notice would be filed for review.
Every motion reported in the transcript passed by voice vote (“All those in favor? Aye.”). The transcript does not include a full recorded roll‑call tally for each item beyond the occasional named yes; motions were routine and treated as unanimous by voice vote in the meeting record.
No substantive policy changes beyond the new submission/minutes policy were enacted; the board adjourned following the approvals.
