Voters will decide whether or not to spend money on road construction.

LISBON – In addition to selecting from the candidates on Saturday’s ballot, voters will be asked to decide three referendum questions: whether to establish a charter commission, whether to approve a bond issue for a property revaluation and whether to spend money on road reconstruction.

Those issues will not be debated at town meeting. Rather, they will be decided by secret ballot.

The issues were reviewed by selectmen and the Advisory Board and a final hearing on the articles was held May 4. Absentee ballots are available at the town clerk’s office, 353-3000, ext. 112.

The first question, Article 3, seeks voter approval to establish a charter commission for the purpose of writing a town charter, which Lisbon doesn’t have.

The next question asks voters to approve bonding up to $300,000 for a townwide revaluation of approximately 4,000 parcels. The last municipal revaluation was done in 1990.

The last question asks voters to approve bonding up to $368,000 for road reconstruction: $200,000 to reconstruct 4,100 feet of Mill Street; $95,000 to reconstruct 2,060 feet of Andrea Street; $25,000 to reconstruct 950 feet of Miller Road; and $48,000 – a 20-percent local match for a $240,000 Maine Department of Transportation grant – to construct a 4,500-foot bicycle/pedestrian trail from Mill Street to Upland Road.
