The Listers reported an error on the Palmer property assessment, reducing the value from $447,200 to $394,400; the Board voted to approve the correction unanimously. In old business a resident asked about paving Salem View Heights; town staff said preliminary prep work costs exceed single-year budgets and the full project is estimated at over $500,000, so the town has started a fund to accumulate resources for the work.
