Selectmen approve enforcement of 12 unlicensed dogs; clerk warns of election costs under default budget
Summary
The board approved enforcement for 12 unlicensed dogs and heard from the Town Clerk that three elections this year are straining resources under a default budget.
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved placing a list of 12 unlicensed dogs into the town's enforcement process, which includes license fees, fines and administrative charges.
Town Clerk Sarah Wiggin reported the outreach efforts had not brought those animals into compliance. She also told the board that election ballot programming fees and staffing are a concern because the town is operating under a default budget that did not account for three elections this year; no additional funds were approved at the meeting.
The enforcement motion was moved by Ian O’Reilly and seconded by Tom Balabon and passed unanimously. The board asked staff to proceed with the prescribed enforcement steps.
