HEBRON — Voters will be asked to approve a $675,000 town budget, a plan to combine the Moody Library and Hebron Station School libraries, and a mass-gathering ordinance at Saturday’s annual town meeting.

It begins at 10 a.m. in the Hebron Station School at 884 Station Road.

Voters will also elect a new selectman for a three-year term; treasurer/tax collector for one year; Moody Library Trustee for a three-year term; Oxford Hills School District director for a three-year term; and two Budget Committee members. Selectman Jim Reid is expected to seek re-election.

Board Chairman Dick Deans said voters will be asked to approve a $675,252 municipal budget that includes $100,000 for the care and maintenance of summer roads and $170,000 for the care and maintenance of winter roads. The Budget Committee has recommended $80,000 for summer roads and $150,000 for winter roads.

The Budget Committee is also recommending the town approve $86,000 for the transfer station operation.

The municipal budget is slightly higher than the $639,082 approved for 2011-12.

Two of the 59 warrant articles are expected to bring some debate to the floor. Residents are being asked to combine the Moody Library in the old Brighton Hill schoolhouse with the Hebron Station School library. It would be called Moody Library and housed at the elementary school on Station Road.

Although details of such a move have not been worked out, Oxford Hills School Board Director Elizabeth Swift of Hebron said the Board of Directors approved the move years ago when the Hebron Station School was being built.

Swift said there has never really been a library in town despite a $1,000 donation in the 1920s to establish one. The former one-room schoolhouse on Brighton Hill is being used as the town library but it’s only open when someone is staffing it, Swift said.

Moody Library Trustees say they have decided to preserve the library in the historic schoolhouse.

“Going forward we plan to continue to open the library during the summer months,” according to the trustees’ annual report.

Swift said there are issues that need to be resolved, such as access, if the town library moved to the school. If voters OK the plan, there are resources, such as Hebron resident and retired Norway Public Library Director Ann Siekman, available to help with those details, she said.

“ I see this starting out as a lending library,” Swift said.

Voters will also be asked to approve a mass-gathering ordinance, which towns such as Norway and Oxford have passed to govern events that attract thousands of people to their towns.

In Hebron, the ordinance is being proposed to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the residents where more than 300 people are in attendance. Owners of facilities, such as campgrounds that house 200 or more guests, are excluded as long as the mass gathering takes place on the property. The town is exempt, as well as public and private school functions.

The Red Neck “Blank” Pig Roast and Music Festival event, as the former Red Neck Olympics is now called, would not be exempt. Organizer Harold Brooks said he will be speaking about the proposal on town meeting floor.

“I think it was not necessary and I think it was directed at me,” Brooks said of the ordinance. His event last summer had “zero” complaints and attracted about 2,600 people, he said.

Brooks said he has two events on his 210-acre property scheduled this summer, including a rodeo the last weekend of June and the pig roast and music festival later in the summer. Under the ordinance, he would have to pay a $250 fee for each event and submit two applications at least 60 days before the event.
