Board hears that consent-agreement noncompliance may be referred for administrative court enforcement
Summary
Town staff reported a property in violation of a consent agreement related to cleanup and said legal counsel will pursue administrative enforcement if required payments are not made.
Town staff told the Select Board that one property is in violation of a consent agreement and that the matter may proceed to administrative court enforcement if the owner fails to meet payment obligations.
S1 (staff member) said the property is in violation of the consent agreement’s cleanup terms and that legal counsel has been in contact. On the monetary side, S1 said the owner was given additional time to pay fees but has not paid; “If they don't make that payment… it quadruples,” S1 said, adding the town will pursue administrative enforcement if compliance does not occur.
S1 described the next step as an administrative violation process that would move into the court system if necessary. The board heard clarifying questions but took no immediate enforcement vote; S1 said the town anticipates moving forward with administrative enforcement in the very near future.
No formal action or vote was recorded at the meeting; board members asked staff to continue communication with legal counsel and to report back on next steps.
