BILL PEARSON Fri, 04/09/2021 - 7:45am Edgecomb has not had a property revaluation in 17 years, and it doesn’t look there will be one anytime soon. Selectmen discussed the timetable April 6, but their tax assessor isn’t available for three years. Instead, selectmen unanimously agreed to meet with Tax Assessor John O’Donnell of John E. O’Donnell & Associates, Inc. to begin estimating the project’s size and scope in preparation for a 2024 revaluation. “We’re receiving an increasing number of inquiries of taxpayers questioning their bills,” Selectman Mike Smith said. “Its been 17 years, so we’re way beyond time.” In other action, Selectman Dawn Murray reported about her legal inquiry into whether or not volunteer firemen were municipal employees. Murray spoke with a Drummond Woodsum representative who counseled her that, under the federal Fair Labor Act standards, volunteer firefighters. “didn’t fall under the standard of municipal employees.” This determination means Edgecomb doesn’t have to follow a new Maine law mandating paid time off for their volunteer fire department.
