Chair reports Dalton paid $20,107.34 after PSNH abatement ruling; board seals welfare nonpublic minutes
Summary
At a brief Dalton Select Board meeting the chair said the town paid $20,107.34 after a court allowed a partial abatement of a PSNH tax request for 2017–2023; the board also voted to seal the minutes of a welfare-related nonpublic session.
The chair of the Dalton Select Board reported that the town paid $20,107.34 after a court allowed a partial abatement on a PSNH tax-abatement request covering 2017–2023.
“I make a motion that we go into nonpublic for legal and welfare matters,” the chair said at the start of the meeting, and members voiced assent. After returning to public session, the chair moved to seal the minutes of nonpublic session number 2, described as dealing with welfare; a second was recorded and members again voted in favor.
The chair summarized the nonpublic legal matter related to PSNH, saying, “The amount that was allowed by court was $20,107.34. And we proceeded to pay that.” The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or name individual members who seconded the motions; approvals were recorded by voice as “Aye.”
The meeting otherwise contained routine procedural steps: calling the meeting to order, handling a pair of nonpublic session motions, and adjourning. No additional details on the source of the payment or its line-item treatment in town finances were stated in the transcript; those specifics were not specified.
The board adjourned following the vote to seal the welfare nonpublic minutes.
