Council tables energy-efficiency grant application, approves two delinquent tax payments
Summary
Council tabled a Community Resilience Partnership grant application because the school administrative district (SAD) was not an eligible applicant, and approved acceptance of two delinquent tax payments—a full payment of $37,689.23 on U19 Lot 018 and a $3,700 partial payment on U14 Lot 08A under a payment plan.
At the May 26 meeting the council voted to table action authorizing the town manager to apply jointly with North Yarmouth for a Community Resilience Partnership grant for energy-efficiency improvements at MSAD 51 after staff identified an eligibility issue: a SAD is not an allowable applicant. Staff said the town may pursue a second round of opportunities in December and will explore alternative applications for LED upgrades.
The council then approved two separate tax-payment actions. Council authorized the town manager to accept full payment of $37,689.23 to bring property at tax map U19 Lot 018 current. The manager confirmed that action would clear the full balance.
Separately, council approved accepting a $3,700 payment on tax map U14 Lot 08A as part of an ongoing payment plan; staff said about $17,588 would remain and the owner expects to be current within roughly 12–18 months.
Both tax actions were approved by motion and recorded as carried.
