LIVERMORE The Livermore Board of Selectpersons met Monday night with the town’s auditors and lawyer to discuss the municipality’s financial issues, but no action was taken after more than an hour of executive sessions.

A four-page letter was sent to the board Dec. 11 detailing the firm’s findings and concerns.
Smith said certain municipal practices have led to some residents being overtaxed or undertaxed.

This error was the result of the ‘municipal appropriation figure’ of $1.48 million being $20,249 higher than what was approved at the annual town meeting.”
