Public commenter alleges irregular tax-sale handling for 5 Union Street; requests agenda review
Summary
Jonathan Villas presented documents and alleged the town purchased property after a tax sale closing, which he said is invalid; he asked the board to place the property-sale matter on the next agenda for full discussion.
During public comment, Jonathan Villas presented deposition and tax-sale documents related to 5 Union Street and said the records show the town did not follow proper procedure and may have purchased property after a tax-sale closing. He asked the Select Board to direct town staff to place the matter on the next meeting agenda and to involve VLCT for guidance.
Villas cited a 2019 deposition and a later town filing that, he said, contradict the town's reporting to the court. He left copies of the documents with town staff and asked for formal review; no board votes or responses were taken on the substance at the meeting other than an acknowledgment that the documents would be received and staff would follow up.
