LITCHFIELD — Voters on Saturday approved a municipal budget that will pave miles of roadway, re-roof the Town Office and the Old Town House Museum, plus help pay for new traffic lights, if needed, at two dangerous intersections in town.

The new spending added to the budget that maintains current staffing and programs brought the budget up to $1.37 million, which is a 3.5 percent increase over the current fiscal year’s approved spending.

Sixty-four residents attended the annual town meeting, which lasted more than four hours.

The municipal budget is not expected to affect the town’s current tax rate of $12.10 per $1,000 of valuation due to anticipated growth in the town’s overall assessed value. The effect on the town’s tax rate of the RSU 4 school budget, of which the town pays a portion along with Sabattus and Wales, was still unclear.

Most articles passed as proposed.

On the warrant were:

* An $11,000 increase in administration, to $247,555, that includes a 2 percent pay increase for front office staff;

* $29,111 for ambulance services. The contract with Gardiner Ambulance is $12,507. The balance, $16,604, is for this year’s unpaid ambulance fees;

* $30,000 in special project funds to re-roof the Town Office and the Old Town House Museum, plus $25,000 added by voters at the meeting to help pay for possible traffic signals at two dangerous intersections being studied by the Maine Department of Transportation;

* A flat $125,000 spending on paving was approved, along with $235,000 from the existing paving reserve account, was earmarked the coming year for 3.2 miles of Huntington Hill Road, 1.6 miles of Buker Road and 510 feet of Dead River Road; and

* $400 for Web tech help that covers a $300 stipend to Deb Campbell, plus office supplies.

Among the non-monetary articles on the warrant approved on Saturday was a new comprehensive plan after two years of work by a committee led by co-chairs Beth Ashcroft and Pat Sirois.

Towns and cities need to keep plans current to be eligible for state funds.
