TURNER — Selectmen are inching closer to setting a tax rate.

On Monday, the five-member board talked with assessors and announced that a rate would be determined at the next meeting, scheduled for Aug. 20.

“It is looking like a minimal increase,” said Sandi Philipon, who serves as an assessing clerk for the town.

Selectmen also looked at bids for several upcoming public works projects, including roadside mowing and rock-crushing at the town pit.

The discussion was led by the town’s new public works director, John Moultrie. He started in the newly created position July 1.
