NEW GLOUCESTER — Selectmen on Monday scheduled a special town meeting for June 21 to vote on raising money for town accounts that were not funded at the May annual town meeting.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Memorial School.

The board also agreed Monday to ask voters to appropriate $150,000 from a capital reserve account to replace the public works wheel loader that needs costly repairs.

After choosing a moderator, the June 21 warrant asks voters to raise and appropriate a total of $385,657 to cover selectmen at $16,900, administration at $275,800, town meetings/ elections at $4,350, code enforcement at $55,607, legal services at $18,000, and unanticipated expenses at $15,000.

In Article 4, voters are asked to raise and appropriate $74,512 for tax assessment, fully funding the assessor’s agent position full time. However, the board and the volunteer Budget Committee are recommending passage at $45,000 to hire a private company to do the assessing. This arrangement would provide a person to be available in person one day a week and by telephone the rest of the week.

Article 5 asks to raise and appropriate $746,000 from taxation and other sources for insurance, social security/retirement and debt service. On May 3, voters appropriated no money for these accounts because of their opposition to hiring an outside assessor.

In other business, Debra Smith of Cobb’s Bridge Road chastised the board for failing to communicate with her about salt contamination from road ditches that impacts her water supply and that of two of her neighbors.

On May 13, Smith gave the board copies of a hydrogeological study that indicated contamination to her well. She was told the town manager would get in touch with her.

“I have heard nothing from the town manager,” she said. “Next month will be a year and we have tried to talk when the town is using taxpayer dollars to talk to attorneys. I am really losing patience with this. I want a conversation. I want to be treated with respect.”

Smith said, “This should be a community issue to be addressed proactively. Our ditches have not been cleaned for three years and (Public Works Director Ted) Shane knows nothing about this. You are spending thousands of dollars in tax dollars for not addressing this issue.”
