Beacon Falls selectmen set one‑time tax relief grant of $600 for elderly and disabled homeowners
Summary
At a June 12 special meeting the Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to set a one‑time flat grant of $600 under the town’s Elderly and Disabled Homeowners Tax Relief program for the Oct. 1, 2025 Grand List, following a recommendation from the Board of Finance.
At a June 12 special meeting, the Beacon Falls Board of Selectmen voted unanimously to set a one‑time flat grant under the town’s Elderly and Disabled Homeowners Tax Relief program at $600 per eligible applicant for the Grand List of Oct. 1, 2025.
The action, moved by Michael Krenesky and seconded by Peter Betkoski, was taken pursuant to § 320‑23 of the Code of the Town of Beacon Falls and follows a recommendation from the Board of Finance to increase the grant from $500 to $600. The minutes state the change is a one‑time adjustment for the applicable tax year and does not amend Chapter 320 of the Town Code.
The motion passed with all present selectmen voting in favor: Gerard Smith, Michael Krenesky and Peter Betkoski. The minutes record Exhibits A–C as supporting documents for the item.
Why it matters: The increase raises the per‑applicant flat grant available to qualifying elderly and disabled homeowners for the specified Grand List year, potentially increasing the benefit for eligible residents. The minutes do not specify the number of eligible applicants or the budgetary source that will cover the change; those details were not provided in the meeting record.
Next steps: The minutes do not record further implementation steps beyond the vote. The Board of Finance recommendation and the minutes indicate this is administrative action taken under the town code.
