Board of Selectmen’s Meeting

Spring Annual Town Meeting

May 6, 2008

A meeting of the Board of Selectmen was called to order by Vice Chairman James Marzec at 6:35 PM, Northbridge Middle School Auditorium, 171 Linwood Avenue, Whitinsville, MA. Present: Messrs. Davis, Montecalvo, and Ampagoomian. Chairman Audette was not present and it is duly noted.

Also Present: Theodore D. Kozak, Town Manager and Attorney David Doneski, Kopelman & Paige.

Senior Citizen Property Tax Work-Off Program/Vote to revise income limits. Because this item was listed under discussions and not decisions on the May 5, 2008 Selectmen's agenda, the Board decided to defer the vote on this matter until now. That said, a motion/Mr. Davis, seconded/Mr. Ampagoomian to approve an increase in the income limits for participants in the Senior Citizen Property Tax Work-Off Program from $30,000 to $45,000 for an individual and from $40,000 to $60,000 for a couple. Vote yes/

Messrs. Davis, Ampagoomian, Montecalvo, and Marzec.

Selectman Davis suggested the Board revote their position on Article 26 [Acceptance of Ash Street]. He stated that the Board previously voted to take no position on this article but felt that the Board should change their position to "not to accept". Harold Gould, Town Moderator, interjected that because the Board never voted to lay out Ash Street prior to tonight's town meeting, the article could not go forward anyway.

A motion/Mr. Ampagoomian, seconded/Mr. Montecalvo to adjourn the May 6, 2008 Board of Selectmen's meeting at the close of tonight's Spring Session of the Annual Town Meeting. Vote yes/Messrs. Ampagoomian, Montecalvo, Davis, and Marzec.

Meeting Adjourned: 9:30 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph Montecalvo, Clerk
