Issue: Whether Minot will hold a special town meeting to revise the 2007-08 school budget and include an as-yet-to-be-determined addition amount of state aid to education it was not figured on when voters set the budget at March town meeting.

The scoop: School Committee Chairwoman Lisa Sabatine told selectmen that unofficial figures from the state show the town receiving $158,000 more than the amount in the original budget. Selectmen would like to include the total amount of state aid in order to reduce property taxes now.

Up next: Once the state releases official funding figures, selectmen may call a special town meeting.

Board: Mechanic Falls council

Met: Monday night
Transfer station stickers

The scoop: The council voted to cut the cost of stickers for users of the transfer station from $10 to $5 a year. The town received $16,000 in revenue from its recycling program. The reduction was a way for the council to reward residents’ recycling efforts by returning most of the savings to them.

Up next: Stickers for the fiscal year beginning July 1 are available at the town office.
