Summary

The Select Board received the June finance report showing $298,749 in delinquent taxes as of June 12, 2025 (up from $180,418 last year), reviewed sinking fund balances including ARPA and Town Office Solar and approved the finance report 4‑0.

The June 17 finance report showed $298,749 in delinquent taxes as of June 12, 2025, compared with $180,418 at the same point last year; four properties were listed as pending tax sales. Financial commentary noted the town is roughly 98% through FY25 and that personnel and highway expenses were notable year‑to‑date.

The report explained apparent overages tied to reappraisal costs (to be covered by a fund transfer), FEMA buyout revenue and expense now showing in the ledger, and Town Office construction expenses reimbursed from the 2021 bond. Itemized sinking fund balances included ARPA at $582,000 (with $202,000 available for use), Town Office Solar $125,000, Mad Tom Rd Site $175,000 and others; the board approved the finance report by a 4‑0 vote.

Select Board members moved and seconded the finance approval (Frank Parent moved; Jim Salsgiver seconded) and asked staff to continue monitoring highway repair expenses and salt/sand costs for the coming season.
