Summary

Town Manager Scott Murphy reported the Grand List appears to have increased by about $27 million, larger than typical growth; Selectboard plans to set the tax rate at an upcoming meeting with scheduling adjustments to accommodate members' availability.

Town Manager Scott Murphy told the Selectboard that preliminary figures show the Grand List "looks like an increase of about $27 million," a rise larger than the town's usual 1% but less than 2%. Murphy said this growth will factor into the Selectboard's tax-rate-setting discussion at the next meeting.

Members agreed to restructure the next meeting's agenda so the tax-rate setting occurs early, accommodating a board member's travel plans. Murphy said primary election ballots are available at the Town Clerk's office and reminded the board that next regular meeting dates are July 13 (special time/location noted) and July 21 for the regular meeting.
