Ms. Roberge asked how the Town knows what personal property is available for taxation. Ms. Maurice stated that the owner files a form each year and she has the right to inspect.
Mrs. Prescott expressed her concerns with the value of her property due to the water drainage issue. She stated that her deed references an easement allowing her to access her neighbor’s property to drain the water until the Town fixes the problem. Mr. Grossman stated that the issue would need to be discussed with the DPW during the budget process.
Ms. Maurice stated that she will have to do some research in regard to the land erroneously assessed to the Great Works Regional Land Trust (M2 L43). She and Mrs. Demetracopoulos both stated that they believe it is already being assessed in some form to either the individual owners or the association for Roe Fields Drive.
On a motion by Mr. Gagne, seconded by Mrs. Tutelian, it was unanimously voted to adjourn the meeting at 6:14pm.
