SUMNER — If the proposed municipal budget of $1,330,347.85 passes at the annual town meeting Monday, Aug. 8, it will be $7,630.11 less than last year. The total to be raised from taxation will be $1,071,208.

The Roads and Bridges account is $160,000, the same as last year. The RSU 10 assessment is up by $29,546.

RSU 10 accounts for 47 percent of the overall town budget, with summer and winter roads making up 29 percent, and town operations, the remaining 24 percent.

Voters will choose whether to continue rescue services with Buckfield and Tri-Town, have Buckfield provide full coverage or have PACE and Buckfield cover specific areas of town.

The cost of the current coverage with Buckfield and Tri-Town would be $13,360. Full Buckfield coverage would be $12,000 and PACE would have insurance companies and patients billed.

All three of these services bill the patient or their insurance for services because government regulations require all patients to be billed if Medicare is billed.

Adoption of the new shoreland zoning map will be voted on and is recommended by selectmen.

Whether to have transfer station stickers on vehicles at $10 each or to add the needed funds to the tax base will be a straw poll question.

Voters will be asked if they will authorize selectmen to enter into three-year contracts for winter road maintenance, cemetery and town mowing and municipal office plowing.

Selectman Mary Ann Haxton and Road Commissioner James Keach are running for re-election.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Hartford-Sumner Elementary School, with light refreshments available at 6:30.
