The Lancaster Select Board on June 1 approved a property tax exemption for Mount Royal Academy North’s existing parcel (Tax Map P03, Lot 3) and denied an exemption for a newly created lot (Tax Map P03, Lot 46).
Town Manager Jessica Cyr relayed the assessor’s recommendation on the school exemption applications before the board. Selectman Leon Rideout moved to approve the exemption for Tax Map P03, Lot 3; Selectman Shane Beattie seconded the motion and "all in favor" was recorded. Rideout then moved to deny the exemption for the newly created lot, Tax Map P03, Lot 46; Beattie seconded and the motion carried.
The decisions affect whether the parcels will receive the tax status claimed in the applications; the minutes do not specify the assessor’s written findings or the financial value of the exemption for either parcel. The board did not record roll-call vote counts beyond the statement "all in favor." Attendance for the meeting listed three Select Board members: Kathy-Jean Lavoie, Shane Beattie and Leon Rideout.
No formal appeals or public testimony on these specific exemption applications are recorded in the minutes. The town did not set further action steps for the parcels in the public minutes.
