PARIS – There will be no special town meeting to reconsider a $70,000 makeover for the old Pine Street fire station.

The Paris Board of Selectmen took no formal action, but on Monday night agreed that a related warrant article that was overlooked at the June 19 town meeting did not need to be revisited.

“The town meeting is under no obligation to handle all the warrant articles if it doesn’t want to,” Town Manager Steve McAllister told the board, informing members he had contacted the Maine Municipal Association on the matter.

Questions about votes pertaining to the fire station arose shortly after the town meeting.

On July 26, McAllister told selectmen there may have been a need for a special town meeting to resolve a warrant article that had not been addressed.

An article authorizing a $70,000 bond to convert the old fire station into a police station was soundly rejected, McAllister said. However, the town never voted on another article that would have authorized $17,000 to be raised through taxes to pay debt service on the bond. Nor did residents vote on an amendment to that article, which called for raising $17,000 from taxes and $53,000 from the town surplus for the renovations.

According to McAllister, all that was voted on was a second amendment seeking to pull the entire $70,000 from the town surplus.

“I think since they voted down (the first) article, then (the second) was a moot point,” Selectwoman Barbara Payne said Monday.

“But we still have a problem of what we’re going to do to maintain the building,” Selectman Raymond Glover said.

Glover was told that an existing committee will address that issue.

When Payne asked whether the board should have taken a formal vote to forgo a special town meeting, selectmen William Merrill and Bruce Hanson said there was no need.

In other business, the board voted:

• 5-0 to consider buying a house at Church Street to increase the public parking near town hall.

• 5-0 to table discussion of the town animal control officer’s salary.

• 5-0 to consider assisting with some road improvements at the site of the Paris Elementary School project.

Member Gerald Kilgore was also present at the meeting.
