Select Board votes unanimously to lower residential tax exemption priority
Summary
After debate following a failed special town meeting petition, the Select Board voted unanimously during the work session to move the residential tax exemption down from a core priority to a support priority; the motion passed with no recorded roll‑call.
At the strategic priorities workshop the Select Board debated whether to retain the residential tax exemption as a core priority after a citizen petition failed at a special town meeting. Committee member (S3) proposed moving the exemption lower on the priorities list and the Chair (S1) called the motion and said there was a second. The Chair declared the vote unanimous.
"All in favor?" the Chair (S1) asked; after the vote the Chair (S1) said, "Unanimous." No individual roll‑call votes were recorded in the transcript. The board directed staff to incorporate the change into the strategic priorities document to be considered at the regular September meeting.
