Stetson sets municipal mil rate at .01685; board approves routine warrants and bank signer change
Summary
The Town of Stetson selectmen on Sept. 25 unanimously set the mil rate at .01685 and approved several routine motions, including payroll, expenditures, a corrective cemetery deed, and a change to TD Bank account signers.
Selectmen for the Town of Stetson unanimously voted Sept. 25 to set the municipal mil rate at .01685 and approved a series of routine administrative motions, the minutes show.
The board took the mil-rate action on a motion by Selectman Millard Butler, seconded by Selectman Leslie Merrill. The vote established the rate recorded by the Board of Assessors as .01685.
Why it matters: The mil rate determines the town portion of property tax bills for the coming assessment period. Local officials recorded the vote as unanimous; the minutes do not include a discussion of projected revenue or the effect on individual taxpayers.
