Board authorizes Connie Holt to accept tax payments and issue receipts for August collection
Summary
To avoid paying an external assistant for tax-collection day, the board authorized Connie Holt to accept tax payments and issue paper receipts from a receipt book for the August collection period; the motion passed by voice vote.
With tax-collection day approaching in August, the select board authorized a local staffing plan to handle payments and receipts.
Connie Holt explained a hybrid approach: instead of hiring an outside assistant for the day, town staff will be present to accept payments and use a paper receipt book so payments can be recorded and later posted. A board member moved to authorize Connie Holt to accept taxes and issue receipts; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The chair clarified that if the town has a treasurer in place by the collection date that person could perform the function without a motion; the vote was intended to provide authorization if staffing remains as-is.
