Select board approves payrolls, accounts payable and a tax-abatement application
Summary
At the meeting the board approved payroll numbers and three accounts-payable warrants, and accepted a tax-abatement application for Gail Raider after the assessor agent found an acreage error; the board also scheduled warrant-article public meetings in May.
The Westport Island select board approved routine warrant items, including payrolls and vendor payments, and accepted a tax-abatement application after the assessor's review.
Warrant approvals: the board moved and voted to approve payroll number 83 (read in the meeting), accounts payable number 84 (which included nearly $28,000 for paving and snow-plowing and about $30,000 for transportation quarterly billing), accounts payable number 85, and payroll number 87 (noted to include about $4,600 for the CEO).
Tax abatement: the board accepted an abatement application from Gail Raider after an assessor agent (Courtney) found the owner had been charged for three acres when they own two; the board said it can grant relief for up to three prior years and encouraged residents to review assessment sheets ahead of a planned revaluation process.
Meeting scheduling: staff announced nomination papers due April 11 and public preview sessions for warrant articles scheduled for May 16 and May 22 (6 p.m. at town hall). The board also discussed meeting cadence in May and the need to sign the warrant in early June.
Provenance: routine warrant approvals and the abatement discussion occurred between SEG 009 and SEG 1460.
