At a special meeting of the Selectboard on July 30, board members voted to set the municipal tax rate for 2017/18 at $0.1719, a reduction about one-half of one cent on last year’s rate $0.1767.
Questions about lot 128 on Flat Rock Road linger even after the town settled a legal dispute involving the camp last month just prior to a court-ordered mediation. The settlement compensated leaseholder Paul Arthaud to the tune of $30,000, which allowed him to walk away from his lease, restored control of the lease and ownership of the camp to the town, and saved both parties any further legal fees. It seemed the ideal end to the yearlong dispute.
Because VCLT Property and Casualty Intermunicipal Fund, the town’s insurance company, has twice denied the town’s request to cover these expenses, the cost will have to come from town money, though the specifics of the money’s source have yet to be finalized.
