8. Discuss/review “Penalties for Late Filed Homestead Declarations” information and procedures as recently received from the Vermont Department of Taxes. The Department of Taxes suggests that the Select Board set a policy to make penalty determinations and inform the taxpayers of the Town’s determination. This is a significant change in the State’s responsibilities and duties in this regard and it shifts the decisions and related correspondence (and headaches) down upon the
towns.

9. Consider/discuss information on Vermont Legislative Reapportionment Proposal
