Selectmen approve elderly tax‑deferral application; enter non‑public session on legal matters
Summary
The Board approved an elderly tax‑deferral application to avoid a BTLA hearing and later entered non‑public session under RSA 91‑A:3 II(l) to discuss two legal cases, exiting and adjourning the meeting the same evening.
The Town Administrator and the Assessor reported that an appeal to the New Hampshire Board of Tax and Land Appeals (BTLA) would not be covered by the town's assessing contract and that representation would require hourly fees from Town Counsel. To avoid a hearing in Concord, the Selectmen approved an elderly tax‑deferral application for Map 19, Lot 52; the motion passed 3‑0‑0.
Later in the meeting the Board voted to enter non‑public session at 7:57 p.m. under RSA 91‑A:3, II (l) to discuss two current legal cases. The motion carried on a roll‑call vote (Hopkins, Thackston, Chasse all voting yes). The Board exited non‑public session at 8:19 p.m. and adjourned the meeting at 8:20 p.m. The minutes record only that two legal cases were discussed while in non‑public session; no non‑public details were released in the minutes.
