Mr. Debrowski indicated <br />with the increased growth in schools and in other areas there is a need to look at the total tax load, and not <br />take a holistic approach. With regards to the proposed residential exemption being discussed tonight it was <br />suggested to target the residents below the median income. <br /> <br />Joe Lyons: Deferred comment. <br /> <br />Karen Faulkner: Left the meeting. <br /> <br />Lynne Barbee expressed appreciation to Select Board and to the Sewer Commission for their actions stating <br />this type of discussion is important for those of us who do not understand how this works. Adhering to the <br />deadline, and getting help from our representatives is positive step. It is also good to note there are state and <br />federal grant monies to apply for, and that the Town is moving forward with the hiring of a grant writer. Ms. <br />Barbee indicated the Town has invested in shellfishing, an adaptive management approach to sewering, and <br />it is important to maintain funds for this aquaculture initiative. <br /> <br />Anne Malone: Not present for discussion. <br /> <br />Sue Dangel applauded the Select Board for the productive meeting stating it is hopeful to the Board would <br />have more informational sessions like this. No meeting has rivaled this discussion since November.
