Summary
Roxbury selectmen approved a $301,234 warrant, reviewed a ratio declaration (57%), and discussed transferring $195,500 from TIF funds to pay for a retaining wall; Selectmen noted a $400,000 tax anticipation note will require a signature and identified availability for signing.
The Roxbury Board of Selectmen approved the treasurer's warrant for $301,234.00 and reviewed a ratio declaration approved at 57% during its June 24 meeting.
Board members said the town will transfer $195,500 from TIF funds into the operating account to cover an invoice for a retaining wall. Town staff noted that the transfer amount had been approved previously at two separate town meetings and that the board would confirm with the contractor whether replanting a tree was included in the bid. Selectman Ray Hodsdon and Selectman Matthew Patneaude voted to approve the warrant and related procedural items, vote recorded 2-0.
Officials also addressed tax-collection matters: unpaid 2024 taxes were noted to be sent to lien before the next meeting. During selectboard comments, Renee Hodsdon asked which selectman could sign a $400,000 tax anticipation note at the bank; Hodsdon said he is available in afternoons/evenings and Patneaude in mornings. No vote on the note was recorded at the meeting.
The board also summarized a correction to the June 11 warrant (duplicate and missing payroll item) made on the current warrant paperwork. The town plans to follow up with the contractor on details of the retaining-wall contract ahead of the TIF transfer.
