PHILLIPS – Voters at Saturday’s town meeting will elect two officials while also considering a $660,879 five-month town and school spending package.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. at the Phillips Middle School.

Nominations will be taken from the floor for a three-year selectman’s term held by Jonathan Wilbur and a three-year SAD 58 director’s term held by Alan Morse, Town Manager Karen Olivieri said Thursday.

The town is moving toward a fiscal year to run from July 1 to June 30, 2009, but first will need to take care of raising money to cover five months from Feb. 1 to June 30 of this year. Property owners will get a tax bill for those months and a second one after another town meeting is held in June to raise money to cover the new fiscal year.

One of the items that may draw discussion at the town meeting is a request for $20,000 to buy a furnace for the Public Works building that houses the Phillips Fire Department, ambulance and town Highway Department, Olivieri said.

The Fire Department’s furnace recently died and the furnace in the Public Works building is due for replacement, she added.

Another item that might bring discussion is a request for $10,000 to cover maintenance and repairs for the town’s 13 cemeteries. At the Evergreen Cemetery alone, fence work needs to be done and trees cut down, Olivieri said.

Of the $660,879 for expenses, $397,570 is related to the town and $263,309 for the share of SAD 58’s school budget.

Last year, the town’s budget was $1.5 million for both entities, Olivieri said.
