Westbrook board trims proposed Veterans Tax Exemption ordinance, sends amended draft to Town Meeting
Summary
Attorney Jeremy Gustafson and Assessor Pam Aldred reviewed local options; the board voted unanimously to strike Section C of the draft ordinance (renumbering F1/F2 to E1/E2) and to forward the amended ordinance to a Town Meeting for further action.
The Westbrook Board of Selectmen voted to amend a proposed Veterans Tax Exemption ordinance and forward the revised draft to a Town Meeting.
Attorney Jeremy Gustafson and Assessor Pam Aldred provided an overview of the ordinance and local options. Selectman Campbell moved to strike Section C from the proposed ordinance; Selectman Bialicki seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes record that Sections F1 and F2 will now be renumbered as E1 and E2.
Selectman Campbell then moved to forward the amended ordinance to a Town Meeting for further action; Selectman Bialicki seconded and the board approved the referral unanimously. No specific Town Meeting date was recorded in the minutes.
The presentation included staff availability to answer questions, and the board did not take additional immediate action on veteran-exemption policy beyond forwarding the amended draft for public consideration at Town Meeting.
