Board approves gravel warrants, tax collector explains 'doomage' doubling for late excavation reporting
Summary
The select board approved two gravel (grit/grama) warrants; staff explained that a 'doomage' penalty—doubling taxes for late reporting of excavated material—is allowed under state statute and applied to one warrant.
Tax collector explained two gravel warrants on the agenda, noting one was a duplicate of a previously signed warrant and the other carried a statutory "doomage" penalty for late submission of excavation reporting. She said the state statute allows doubling the tax in that circumstance and that the increased amount was reflected on the warrant.
Chair moved to approve and sign the two gravel warrants, the motion was seconded, and the board approved the action. The town clerk and tax collector will proceed with the required filings.
