Selectboard signs abatement for James Jeffers' burned trailer, confirms $7,600 tax waiver
Summary
At its July 13 meeting, the Colebrook Selectboard signed a $1,058 abatement for a burned trailer and acknowledged a $7,600 tax waiver memorialized in a legal agreement after public comment from Susie Nash.
The Colebrook Selectboard on July 13 signed a $1,058 abatement related to taxes for a trailer owned by James (Jeffers) and recorded that $7,600 in taxes had been previously waived under a separate agreement. Resident Susie Nash raised the matter during Hearing of the Public, asking the board to sign a printout showing the waiver "so that there is no confusion at a later date."
Town Manager Tim Stevens told the board Melanie had already abated the 2025 first-issue tax bill, which made the presented abatement correct; the board signed the abatement during the meeting. The minutes state the waiver was part of an agreement prepared by town legal counsel and note the trailer had been burned by the Colebrook Fire Department for training purposes. The board did not take additional action beyond signing the abatement and retaining the counsel-prepared agreement for the record.
