LR 3079
Item 1

 
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble,
this resolve takes effect when approved.

 
SUMMARY

 
The Maine Revised Statutes, Title 30-A, section 2526,
subsection 9 requires all town officials to be sworn by the
moderator in open town meeting by the clerk, by a notary or by
any other person authorized by law to administer an oath before
assuming the duties of office. The tax assessor and the tax
collector for the Town of Wells were appointed on April 18, 2000.
Subsequent to their appointment, the town failed to swear these
municipal officials in a timely manner, placing the tax
commitment in jeopardy of challenge. This resolve corrects that
oversight and remedies any failure to comply with this statutory
requirement.
