China select board handles two agenda items in short order

by Mary Grow

China select board members whipped through two short agendas in less than 10 minutes at their July 14 meetings.

Meeting first as the town’s board of assessors, they unanimously approved a tax abatement for $2.34.

Re-meeting as the board of selectmen, they approved two payroll warrants for town employees, totaling just under $83,000, and authorized paying almost $600,000 in other bills. Almost $500,000 went to Regional School Unit #18.

Board member Blane Casey offered a tribute to former select board member Thomas Barber, who died recently.

The next regular China select board meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., Monday, July 28.
