Jim Pulsifer will replace Rick Vaughn.

PERU – Selectmen Monday night accepted with regret the resignation of Rick Vaughn as the town’s representative to the Med-Care Board.

Selectman Jim Pulsifer was chosen as his replacement.

Town Clerk Vera Parent reported that the town had still received no communication from a delinquent taxpayer, and next week the board will sign papers to begin the process of selling a portion of the property to pay the taxes. The action will be publicized three weeks before actually claiming the property.

Selectman Andy St. Pierre said the man had several years of reminders to make arrangements with the town for payments.

Pulsifer said the board always gives ample notice before action is taken in delinquent tax situations.

The board approved the Historical Society and Cemetery Committee’s request to use Rockemeka Hall at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, for a joint meeting.

A veteran’s exemption was approved for Lawrence Taylor and a building permit was approved for Mac Vaughn for a lean-to on his garage.

Selectman Kathy Hussey said the town is ready to accept new applications for the Department of Environmental Protection’s Small Community Septic System Replacement Grant for people who qualify.
