Town clerk reports fees and flags new state mandate for dog-license donation option
Summary
Town Clerk reported April fees turned over to the supervisor, end-of-tax-season logistics, and said the state now requires a shelter-donation option on dog-license renewals; clerk will prepare a required resolution designating recipient(s) and procedures.
The town clerk gave an oral report for April, saying she took in $769 in fees and turned over $159 to the supervisor and $610 for county recycling tags. She said she will deliver tax collections to the county in June and that the last day to receive taxes locally is the end of May (postmarked). The clerk also described working with the assessor on grievance forms ahead of grievance day.
On a newly mandated administrative change, the clerk said the state requires a donation option on dog licenses allowing licensees to contribute to a designated shelter. She said the town must pass a resolution to designate the recipient shelter(s) and establish handling procedures for the funds; the state provided little guidance and the deadline was not specified, so the clerk will bring more information to a future meeting.
