Select board authorizes town treasurer to accept tax payments during August collection
Summary
To avoid paying an outside individual to staff tax collection day, the board authorized Treasurer Connie Hult to receive tax payments and issue receipt‑book receipts in August; if a treasurer is appointed before then, the authorization would not be required.
Connie Hult, serving in the treasurer function, proposed a hybrid approach for August tax collection that would avoid hiring an outside person for the day: she would be present in the office to receive payments and issue receipts from a receipt book, while an assigned member would perform funds transfer duties. "I would just make sure I'm there for that period of time ... I would purchase a receipt book," Connie said, describing how the approach would function without the usual computer‑printed receipts.
A board member moved and the board authorized Connie to accept tax payments and provide bookkeeping receipts as needed for the August collection; the chair clarified that if a treasurer is in place by then, that person could perform the duties without a motion. The motion passed by voice vote.
