Selectmen schedule special town meeting to address $8,480 Oxford County tax billing error
Summary
Roxbury selectmen voted unanimously to call a special town meeting and consider using the General Fund to cover an $8,480 bill stemming from an Oxford County billing error.
Roxbury selectmen voted 3-0 on Aug. 13 to call a special town meeting and to consider covering a newly identified $8,480.00 shortfall from the town’s General Fund.
Board members reviewed a letter from Oxford County indicating a system error that left the town “owing more money.” The minutes state, “The difference due is $8,480.00.” Selectman Timothy Derouche moved to hold a special town meeting and to take the necessary funds from the General Fund if required; Ray Hodsdon seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The board did not set a special-meeting date in the minutes; members discussed the procedural option of using the General Fund because taxes had already been committed for the fiscal year. No additional legal citations or external approvals were recorded in the minutes.
