Hubbardston assessors plan monthly meetings and sign three nonprofit ABC renewals

The Town of Hubbardston assessors agreed to begin holding a regular monthly meeting, tentatively on the third Wednesday at 6 p.m., and signed three nonprofit 3-ABC (license) renewal signature pages for fiscal year 2025.

Staff presented three 3-ABC applications and said, "I have them here if you wanna look at them. Otherwise, I just need you to sign them to approve them. They're all the nonprofits." The board signed the signature pages for those nonprofit applicants to remain on the town'''''''s 3-ABC list for fiscal year 2025.

On scheduling, assessors discussed making the assessor'''''''s meetings a recurring monthly event to provide a forum for the three members to review filings and sign documents. The chair and staff agreed to meet monthly and cancel when there was not enough business; assessors suggested meeting at 6 p.m. and tentatively selected the third Wednesday of the month so as to avoid conflicts with planning-board meeting dates.

Staff said they would post meetings in accordance with the town'''''''s public-notice requirements and would call or cancel meetings if there was insufficient business. The transcript does not show a formal recorded vote; the minutes indicate a working agreement and that staff will publish the schedule and post notices as required.
