Select Board approves $1,457.40 abatement for 340 Dudley Road; renews animal shelter contract
Summary
The Castle Hill Select Board approved a property tax abatement of $1,457.40 for 340 Dudley Road and authorized the town manager to sign a $783.30 contract with the Central Aroostook Humane Society; the board also approved minutes and Treasurer warrants.
The Castle Hill Select Board on Sept. 17 approved a $1,457.40 tax abatement for 340 Dudley Road and renewed the town's contract with the Central Aroostook Humane Society.
An assessor agent presented the abatement request for account 2259 (340 Dudley Road, Map 003 Lot 013-A). Maylen Kenney moved to approve the abatement; Chair Shari Cheney seconded and the minutes record the motion as passing 3-0. The minutes do not record individual member votes for that motion.
The board also voted to renew the town's 2026 contract with the Central Aroostook Humane Society. The contract includes a $0.20 per-capita increase based on the 2020 census and totals $783.30 for Castle Hill. Herman Condon moved to approve the contract and authorize Town Manager Sandra Fournier to sign; Maylen Kenney seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved the minutes of the July 9, 2025 Select Board meeting on a 5-0 vote (motion by Kenney, second by Scott Cheney) and approved Treasurer Warrants #54-72 (motion by Kenney, second by Condon; 5-0).
No direct quotes were recorded in the minutes for these actions. The minutes list motion makers and seconders and record vote tallies but do not provide a roll-call of individual votes for every motion.
What happens next: the Town Manager is authorized to sign the humane society contract, and the abatement will be applied as recorded in the assessor's request. The board set additional meetings to continue town business.
