Quick context to catch up fast.
The working group reviewed two proposed Town Meeting articles: one allowing proxies to perform Senior Tax Work Off services and another seeking a one-time CPI-based adjustment to income and asset limits. The 25-position Work Off program would have an estimated $50,000 financial impact, which the group said could be covered by existing overlay funds.

A qualified senior who cannot perform required Work Off services in person could potentially use an approved representative, subject to the proposed article and an application process managed by the Assistant Town Administrator and Assessor. The second proposal would update income and asset eligibility limits to account for past Consumer Price Index changes, but the group said the limits would remain restrictive. The articles were being prepared for a Town Meeting presentation, with additional impact estimates still needed.
