A property owner that lives on Farrell Loop contacted the Selectmen regarding a fox den that is located close to his property. Because the den houses a litter, a move may put the mother and litter at risk. The mother will be moving the litter deeper into the forest within a short time never to return to the den. The Selectmen will assess the risk. The Selectmen began discussion regarding the Inventory Forms. Both the Assessing Clerk and the Tax Collector have approached the Selectmen to encourage the utilization of the Taxable Property Inventory Forms.
