7:15 PM

 

Present:            Timothy Terragni, Chairman, Bryan Clark, John R. Swindlehurst II

                        Linda L. Peters, Recording Secretary

 

            Timothy Terragni called the meeting to order.

 

            Newly elected member John R. Swindlehurst II was welcomed by the Board.

 

            Minutes of the February meeting were reviewed but not signed.  Some figures required confirmation by the Town Assessor who was unable to attend the March meeting.  It was also noted that former member, Brian Little should be asked to sign the minutes as he was in attendance at the February meeting.  Tim Terragni will notify Brian when minutes are finalized.

 

            Postponed to a later date:  The Board needed to consult with the Town Assessor on a few agenda items.  Due to the absence of the Assessor, the Board agreed to postpone the following to a later date:

 

            Hanlon: Appeal of 2002 taxes

            Cushing:           Appeal of 2002 taxes

                                    Appeal of current use taxes

            Dan Terrell:      Current use penalty

 

            Letter from Dennis Thorell regarding timber cut for Les Hammond (see attached):  The letter indicated that a supplemental Notice of Intent to Cut Wood had not been filed prior to the cut exceeding the original volume estimate.  The Town Administrator (not present) left word on the agenda that a warrant had been signed the week before for this cut.  Bryan Clark has asked that a copy of the work papers and the warrant be available for the April meeting.

 

            Tim reminded the Board that in the near future they will be drafting a letter for current use categories.

 

            Bids for 2005 revaluation:  Tim has started a criteria list.  He asked Board members to bring their suggestions for that list to the next meeting.

 

            John Swindlehurst suggested that Don Philbrick from the Current Use Board come to Dunbarton to discuss Current Use with the Selectmen and the Board of Assessors.

Tax Relief Forms:  Copies of tax relief forms were reviewed by the Board.  These forms had been dropped off to the Selectmen’s office on Friday, February 14.

 

            Current Use Revaluation Form:  Tim produced a copy of a form he had found that would be useful for Current Use Revaluation.  The Board agreed to use the form.  Linda Peters will work on cleaning up the form and get a copy to Tim.  Tim will take it to the Selectmen for approval.

 

            The Board voted to have Tim Terragni continue to act in the capacity of Chairman for the year 2003.

 

            The balance of the evening was spent updating John Swindlehurst on items currently being addressed by the Board.

 

            Meeting adjourned at 8:40 PM.
