PSC discusses denying permits for unpaid taxes after Building Inspector flags implementation issues
Summary
The PSC reviewed a draft policy to deny permits for unpaid taxes that largely follows an existing bylaw; Inspector of Buildings Michael Grant submitted a memo raising implementation concerns and the PSC asked staff and the Executive Director to resolve operational logistics with the Building Inspector and circulate a revised draft to other departments.
The Wellesley Policy Subcommittee held a first discussion on a draft policy that would authorize denial of permits for properties with unpaid taxes.
Members said the draft largely follows an existing bylaw. The meeting packet included a memorandum from Inspector of Buildings Michael Grant outlining concerns the Building Department has with implementing the draft; PSC members characterized many of those items as operational in nature and recommended the Executive Director and the Building Inspector resolve implementation details. The PSC agreed to revise the draft based on those discussions and to circulate the revised policy to other town boards and departments for comment.
No formal action was taken; the PSC treated the items as a first discussion and next steps were limited to staff refinement and interdepartmental coordination.
