RUMFORD — Selectmen on Friday scheduled a town meeting for Sept. 8 to debate a warrant article asking for money for Black Mountain ski area, and a secret-ballot vote on the issue for Sept. 13.
The town meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in Muskie Auditorium at Mountain Valley High School.
Balloting will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the American Legion on upper Congress Street.
Board of Selectmen Chairman Brad Adley and Selectmen Jeff Sterling and Jeremy Volkernick set the dates, times and places at a meeting at 5 p.m., Town Manager Carlo Puiia said early Friday evening.
A majority of voters in June defeated a funding request by Black Mountain, prompting Black Mountain officials to ask for a revote, which selectmen denied. Then, Black Mountain submitted a petition for a revote, which selectmen also denied.
However, five men filed suit against the town on Aug. 11, saying selectmen violated the Town Charter by allowing a revote on a petition-initiated article. A judge issued an injunction, which led to the Sept. 8 meeting and subsequent revote.
