Pending Litigation
Chief Assessor Garrett Boles, along with members of the Board of Assessors Ernest Jones and George
Barker were present at the meeting. Mr. Boles informed the selectmen that he is placing an article on the
Warrant for the upcoming Special Town Meeting. The warrant article is to transfer$100,000 from prior
Overlay Accounts into a litigation account to cover the costs of defending the Appellate Tax Board Case,
which Ouy Properties filed against the Town on the old Lucent Property. Since the trial date is likely to be
carried over into the next fiscal year, a Town Meeting article is needed to keep the funding available across
multiple fiscal years.
The Board was asked to vote to put this article on the Warrant in Open Session.
