WEST PARIS – About 50 voters attended Saturday’s town meeting, approving all but one item on a 48-article warrant.

Rejected was a fee proposed for the building ordinance. The ordinance requires people to notify the town of projects. It was approved several years ago with the stipulation that no fee be assessed.

Other articles passed with little discussion.

Most pertained to the municipal budget, which was approved at $1,069,108, down $61,115 from last year’s $1,130,223.

Town Manager John White noted the figure does not include the SAD 17 assessment or the Oxford County tax. Those figures will not be known until later this spring because school and county budget from July 1 to June 30 while the town runs on a calendar year from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31.

An article pledging to cut the budget’s bottom line once it becomes known was also approved. The town will use $579,176 from revenue sharing and other accounts to do that.

Selectman’s Chairman Wade Rainey, water district board member Philip Edmunds re-elected and Wendy Newmeyer was elected to the SAD 17 board.

The meeting was moderated by Woodstock Town Manager Vern Maxfield.
