JAY — Residents will be asked Tuesday to consider a proposed $6 million municipal budget, a fireworks ordinance and who they want to fill several offices during the annual town meeting referendum.

Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. June 11 at the Town Office.

Two, three-year positions on the RSU 73 Board of Directors have no candidates on the ballot. Voters could write in names of people to serve on the board, which represents Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls.

Current Jay representatives Dan DiPompo and Tammy Dwinal-Shufelt are not seeking re-election.

In addition, a third RSU 73 board member from Jay, Vice Chairwoman Mary Redmond-Luce, resigned in late May, Town Clerk Ronda Palmer said Wednesday.

Since there is no time for nomination papers to be taken out prior to Tuesday’s election, selectmen have the right to appoint a resident to fill the vacancy and fill out the remainder of the term, she said. Redmond-Luce’s term expires on June 30, 2014.

Candidates facing no opposition on the ballot are Justin Merrill, who is seeking a second term on the Board of Selectmen; Stephan Franchetti, who is seeking another term on the North Jay Water District; and Darren Roundy, who is seeking a trustee position on the Jay Village Water District.

The proposed $6 million spending plan for 2013-14 is $210,305.06 less than the current budget.

The proposed consumer fireworks ordinance was put together by an 11-member committee at selectmen’s direction after residents raised concerns over noise and potential fire hazards last year.

If voters approve it, the ordinance would go into effect 30 days after it is adopted.

The state legalized fireworks on Jan. 1, 2012.

The ordinance proposes the hours of use and the type of fireworks allowed follow state law.

Under the proposal, consumer fireworks require a permit from the Jay Fire Rescue Department. Hours to get a permit would be between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., with no permits issued after 6.

The fire chief or designee would issue the permit if it is found not to create a fire danger to the general public.

The guidelines state that fireworks would not be used within 100 feet of any combustible structure or within 50 feet of overhead power lines.

Spectators would not be allowed closer than 50 feet from the discharge point.

Any person using consumer fireworks would need to provide for cleanup and removal of debris. The disposal of unfired or unused fireworks must be done under the guidelines set by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

It would be unlawful for any person using the fireworks to be under the influence of alcohol or otherwise impaired.

Those discharging fireworks would need to have a means to extinguish any spot fires resulting from use. They would also need access to 911 by landline or mobile telephone should an emergency arise.

The proposal also outlines the penalties for a civil violation that would be $200 to $400 plus attorney fees and cost for the first offense. Subsequent offenses would range from $500 to $1,000 plus attorney fees and costs.

The ordinance would be enforced by Jay police, Franklin County Sheriff’s Department, Maine State Police and any law enforcement agency with which the town has a mutual aid agreement.
