Selectboard reminds residents of Feb. 11 tax deadline, approves payroll and multiple warrants
Summary
Finance Manager Lucy Pierpont told the Selectboard the second property-tax payment collection totaled $800,000 with $1.4 million outstanding; the board also approved several AP warrants and ratified the payroll warrant with a $24,002.44 cash draw.
Lucy Pierpont, Sharon’s Finance Manager, told the Selectboard that “the final payment of property taxes is due next week (Wednesday February 11th)” and reported the Town had collected $800,000 in second-payment property taxes while $1.4 million remained outstanding overall.
Pierpont said the finance office will show a new payroll-warrant line for Non-Qualified Overtime because of changes in how overtime is taxed and that employees will see the change reflected on their W-2s. She also said staff are testing ACH payments for utilities such as ECFiber, Consolidated and GMP to reduce mail-processing delays; if adopted, warrants will identify payments as ACH or checks for Selectboard approval.
During the meeting the Selectboard unanimously ratified and approved a series of accounts-payable warrants, including a ratified ACH payment to GMP for $1,537.08 and AP Warrant 2025 for $39,286.80, among others. The board also ratified the payroll warrant for the pay period 1/11/2026–1/24/2026 with a cash draw of $24,002.44.
Board members said they will monitor cash flows and return to warrant and payroll procedures as needed in future meetings.
