LIVERMORE – A review of requests filed by citizens after the recent property revaluation has resulted in 14 abatements and one supplemental tax bill out of a the total 1,700 lots, according to Administrator Kurt Schaub.

Overall, the town gained about $40 million in valuation during the equalization effort, he said, and it is now valued at $136 million.

Receiving rebates were: Deborah Whalen, a homestead exemption of $98.70; Edward and Yvonne Lakin, a removed site improvement value for $70.50 and an adjusted building depreciation for $176.39.

Also, Charles Coombs had his land table corrected, for an abatement of $128.45; Ad and Ruth Castonguay, an adjusted building depreciation and land table for $512.68, and for a change in the site value, $301.18.

Also, Warren Enos had his property adjusted for story height and construction, for an abatement of $151.43; Michael and Jennifer Morgan had the grade and condition of their mobile home adjusted for $63.59; and Dianne Richard had a parcel reassessed as an unbuildable swamp for $606.16.

Also, Bernard and Jane Langlin, an adjusted site improvement value for $56.40; the town of Livermore, a municipal exemption, for $164.27; Richard Fournier, an adjusted site improvement value for $56.40; and Edgar and Elizabeth Nichols, an adjustment for having no plumbing and not being able to have plumbing, for $306.68.

One request, on the North Livermore Parsonage, was denied for failure to prove that the assessment was invalid. One supplemental assessment was issued to K.R.Y. Inc. for a parcel omitted from the tax commitment, for $370.68.

Town Clerk Renda Libby told selectpersons this week that the property description and value books that go with the new assessing system have been completed through the efforts of Faye Ann Laverdiere.

In addition to the books, which will be available for public review, Libby said she will be able to print out information for taxpayers with the new computer program.

Dog licenses are now available at $6 for neutered animals and $10 for non-neutered dogs. Snowmobile registrations are also in, and cost $34.

Libby said 157 absentee ballots had been filed by Monday, and 71 new voters had registered.

The board approved a request by Kathy Langlin to name a road to property she has purchased off Hahn Road as Langlin Road, a name it used to be known by.

Schaub announced that salt prices have increased from $38.88 a ton last year to $68.05 this year, due to the cost of ocean freight. The budget will allow for the purchase of only 264 tons, he said. Last year, 270 tons were used for a mild winter.

The sand pile will be turned over, to better utilize the salt in what is left from last year, and more sand will be purchased. Two ramps will be constructed at the sand pile to make loading safer.

The board agreed to wait until next year to consider having some of the roads done by a private contractor. There are no extra funds in the budget for this year, and the issue will be taken to the budget committee in February.
