1) CALL TO ORDER
The meeting was called to order at 2:00 PM.
2) REVIEW & APPROVE MINUTES DATED JUNE 22, 2010
The Board had previously reviewed the minutes for the meeting of June 22, 2010. Paul Croteau made a motion to accept the minutes as presented. Acting Chair Robert Pelchat seconded the motion and all voted in favor. The motion passed and the minutes will be placed on file.
3) REVIEW & DISCUSS COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL PARTIAL TAX EXEMPTION
The Board discussed how to handle the commercial/industrial partial tax exemption for this year. It was decided that the best way would be through abatement process with an adjusted bill mailed for the parcels affected. There is no area on the MS-1 to account for this exemption and it applies only to the City and School portion of the tax bill. The tax rate will not be known until after the tax rate is set. The percentage to be used for the first year of the exemption is 25% of City and School tax rates. Therefore, it would have to be calculated after the tax rate is set and warrant is committed.
4) REVIEW, APPROVE & SIGN FORM PA-16 REIMBURSEMENT TO TOWNS & CITIES IN WHICH FEDERAL & STATE FOREST LAND IS SITUATED
The form was reviewed by the Board. Jericho Lake Recreation Trail & Park has 5,000 acres with a value of $371. per acre for a total value of $1,855,000. White Mountain National Forest has 16,232 acres with a value of $351. per acre for a total value of $5,697,400. The Board approved the figures and signed the form. It will be mailed immediately to the Department of Revenue. The deadline for mailing this form is
September 1, 2010.
