FAYETTE – Voters will be asked Tuesday to allow the town to use funds for prosecuting those in violation of the junkyard law, Town Manager Mark Robinson said Friday.

Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Starling Hall for voters to elect town officers and school board members, and to vote on the legal services referendum before the town meeting.

The annual meeting will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 14, at Fayette Central School, where voters will be asked to approve the town’s school budget, he said. State law now requires a validation vote on the budget pending approval at town meeting. That validation referendum will be held from 4-8 p.m. June 19 at Starling Hall, he added.

Under the advice of the town’s attorney, Tuesday’s ballot question was drafted to allow transfer of $20,000 from the town’s surplus fund to a legal services account to help the town fairly enforce the rules related to dumping or placing of waste and waste products in Fayette, including the state junkyards and automobile graveyard statute, he said.

“The town has been dealing with the issue for many years, unsuccessfully, and it has become quite frustrating for the select board,” he said.

Candidates for two selectmen and three school board positions will also be on Tuesday’s ballot. All are incumbents and are running unopposed, he said.

Selectmen Joseph Young and Berndt Graf are seeking re-election as well as school board members Richard Darling, Mike Ventrella and Elaine Wilcox, who completed another’s term on the board this year.

Along with necessary articles to run the town, voters will be asked to double the amount allotted for the code enforcement/land use/administration service, Robinson said. The increase reflects the needs of the community related to more land violations, issuing land use permits, appeals of permits and follow-up inspections.

There are not enough man-hours available to cover the need, he added.

Voters will also be asked to approve an amended land use ordinance that has already been the subject of a lengthy public hearing process, he said. The document would bring the town into compliance with state laws and alleviate issues dealing with lack of required abutter notification. It would provide a more extensive abutter notification process meant to reduce appeals, he added.

“Dealing with appeal issues costs more money in legal services and staff time,” he said. “Avoiding appeals from the beginning will save taxpayers.”

The town will also be asked to appropriate $10,000 from surplus for a comprehensive plan update as required by state law.

Voters will be asked Saturday to approve a school budget of $1,765,713.93 for the fiscal year, including $875.711.17 for general instruction; $233,764.09 for special education; $4,260.77 for career and technical education; $42,275.42 for student and staff support; $69,329.94 for system administration; $49,900.01 for school administration; $179,073.65 for transportation and buses; $138,504.19 for facilities maintenance; $158,369.69 for debt service; and $14,525 for other expenditures, including the school food service.

The warrant is on the town’s Web site, www.fayettemaine.com, and available at the town office and the local store, Robinson said.
