V. PUBLIC MEETING:

1. Susette Remson, Tax Collector, Tax Deeding:  Susette reminded the Selectmen that the tax deeding was to occur on September 24, 2008, but on that day their office received a telephone call from one tax payer requesting an extension.  Susette explained that only the Selectmen can grant an extension and they would vote on it at their next meeting.  She added that since September 24th, this resident has paid the 2005 taxes due.  This leaves one delinquent property tax payer and they are now requesting an extension to October 15, 2008.  Susette explained that previously her office wasn’t able to talk to this property owner, but communicated with their real estate agent who forwarded the message.  The property owner has just recently called and asked for the extension.  Susette added that they have made a partial payment toward the 2005 taxes and if the property was tax deeded this amount would need to be refunded to the property owner.  Betsey Made the Motion to grant an extension to Glen F. and Wendy Crosby, 175 Long Island Road, Map 271 Lot 004 until the close of the business day, 4:00 p.m. on October 15, 2008.  Betsey added that she wanted the Crosbys to know that this is the “drop dead” date.  Ed Seconded the Motion.   The Motion carried Unanimously.
