During the meeting, the selectmen reviewed several financial matters, including the approval of various bills and the discussion of motor vehicle and boat abatements. They unanimously agreed to a single tax rate, emphasizing a continuation of the current system without additional exemptions. This decision was made after reviewing recommendations and considering the town’s financial projections, which remain a work in progress pending final accounting figures.

The board also addressed the timeline for tax rate approval and billing processes. The town is still working on finalizing estimated receipts and other financial data, with hopes of submitting the necessary documentation soon. Concerns were briefly raised about potential delays, but there remains optimism that all necessary information will be compiled before the tax bills are due.

A light-hearted moment occurred when the meeting participants noted humorous decorations in the meeting room, which contributed to a positive working atmosphere. The meeting concluded with a brief discussion about the logistics of holding an executive session via remote means, ultimately deciding to defer any such discussions to a future meeting.
