Selectmen clear $300 in uncollectible invoices, debate documentation for waiver to Dominion
Summary
The board approved cancellation of three small invoices totaling $300 — $100 each for Connecticut Street Warriors, D Corp Construction LLC, and Dominion Nuclear Connecticut — and members asked for clearer documentation when waiving or crediting fees for large community partners.
The Board of Selectmen approved the cancellation of three invoices totaling $300, citing the director of finance's recommendation that the amounts appear to be uncollectible or appropriately credited as in-kind support.
Kim Allen, Director of Finance, explained the breakdown: $100 for a carnival operator (Connecticut Street Warriors) that never paid inspection fees, $100 for a plan review tied to a project that is no longer moving forward (D Corp Construction LLC), and $100 recommended by the fire services director to be treated as an in-kind service from Dominion Nuclear Connecticut because the company provides facility use and donations for town events.
Selectman Greg questioned how the town will document and delineate fee waivers or in-kind credits for larger taxpayers and asked that the reason for the credit be recorded in the minutes; Allen and others said they would add explanatory language to the minutes to clarify the rationale. The board moved and approved the invoice cancellations by voice vote.
