Selectmen approve MS-1 inventory for DRA filing and vote to enter nonpublic personnel session

The Greenland Board of Selectmen approved the town’s MS-1 summary inventory evaluation during the work session and directed the assessor to file the MS-1 with the Department of Revenue Administration, a required step before the town can set a tax rate.

The motion to approve the MS-1 was made, seconded, and the board recorded assent. The board’s administrator said the values reflected agreement between the assessor and the town clerk and that filing the MS-1 will move a major step toward completing tax-rate work.

Later in the same meeting, the board voted to enter nonpublic session under the authority cited in the session as "RC31 a colon 3 paragraph 2 b" for personnel matters. The motion to enter nonpublic session was seconded and the roll call recorded unanimous 'yes' votes from members present.

Why it matters: approval of the MS‑1 enables the assessor to proceed with DRA filing necessary for the tax-rate process. Entering nonpublic session under the cited authority closes part of the meeting to the public to permit discussion of personnel matters protected under that statute.

Representative actions recorded - Motion: “I make a motion to approve the MS 1 summary inventory evaluation draft as prepared by the town's assessor.” — moved, seconded and approved; assessor to file with DRA. - Motion: Move into nonpublic session under RC31 a colon 3 paragraph 2 b (personnel) — moved, seconded, roll call unanimous yes.

Ending: The MS-1 will be filed with DRA following the board’s vote; the board entered nonpublic session on personnel as recorded.
