WILTON – Voters have 60 articles to tackle during their annual town meeting Monday, June 16.
The meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. in Academy Hill School’s gymnasium on Depot Street.
Voters will decide whether to enact a subdivision ordinance and make changes to ordinances relating to adult businesses and gravel pits.
Voters will also decide whether the Wilton Free Public Library will receive any money for a reserve fund, which was established in 1997 to make the library handicapped accessible.
The library received no money for the fund last year, and this year selectmen recommended no money for it as well. However Head Librarian and Director Vaughan Gagne said she would still like to ask voters to approve $7,500 for the fund.
The net amount to be raised from taxes is $1,846,363 for the proposed SAD 9 budget, an increase of $84,341; $186, 098 for the Franklin County budget, up $15,980 from last year; and $1,097,278 for the proposed municipal budget, a decrease of $3,572 from last year.
The three budgets represent a total increase of $96,749, which would result in a property tax increase of 0.6 mills. Town Manager Peter Nielsen said this could be reduced some by a new valuation of the town. The current mill rate is 21.60.
