Select Board approves tax abatement for Barnes property with noted amount discrepancy
Summary
The board approved a tax abatement for Ronald and Jillian Barnes, Map R04, Lot 2-27; the agenda line and the motion record two different amounts in the minutes ($868.05 vs. $858.05); the motion and recorded approval use $858.05.
Assessors' Agent Ellery G. Bane recommended a tax abatement for Ronald and Jillian Barnes, Map R04, Lot 2-27. The minutes show $868.05 in one line (SEG 044) but the motion recorded by Pam Dunning and approved by the board lists and approves $858.05. Pam Dunning moved to approve the abatement "at Map R04, Lot 2-27 in the amount of $858.05 as recommended by Assessors Agent Ellery G. Bane." The motion passed 5-0-0.
The minutes thus contain an internal inconsistency between the earlier line and the motion text; the board's formal action adopted $858.05 as the abatement amount. The discrepancy is flagged for record-keeping clarification with the Assessor's Office.
