Select Board approves civil forfeiture warrant after town clerk reports 61 unregistered dogs
Summary
Town Clerk Candi Johnson presented a list of 61 unregistered dogs; the Select Board approved the civil forfeiture warrant 4-0 and directed letters to be mailed to owners who did not respond during the grace period.
Town Clerk Candi Johnson told the Windham Select Board that staff had sent about a dozen reminder emails and that May is a registration grace period; despite outreach, 61 dogs remained unregistered. Johnson said civil forfeiture letters would be mailed the following day to owners who had not responded.
The board voted 4-0 to approve the civil forfeiture warrant, authorizing the administrative step to pursue forfeiture for those animals that remain unregistered after notice. The minutes record no individual votes by name beyond the 4-0 tally.
The action starts an administrative process; the clerk and town staff are responsible for follow-up notices and any further enforcement steps required under municipal procedures.
