KINGFIELD — Townspeople on Saturday approved their 2013-14 municipal budget and elected a new director to represent them on the SAD 58 school board.

About 135 voters met at Kingfield Elementary School and began with a vote for two selectmen. Incumbent Heather Moody defeated Brad Orbeton, 96-32, in the first round of voting. Incumbent Ray Meldrum defeated Orbeton, 93-37, in the second round of voting. Voters chose challenger Beth Luce over incumbent SAD 58 director Judy Dill, 87-47, for a three-year seat.

Luce has two children, Hayden, 10, and Mia, 8, in the school system and wants to be part of the decisions about SAD 58’s future.

“I want to work towards more clear communications between the board and the community,” she said.

Voters moved swiftly through remaining warrant articles, approving a final budget of $805,921. That total is about a 7 percent increase over the current fiscal year budget. It’s $6,000 over the state-calculated increase to $799,921, but voters agreed some categories warranted extra funding.

The Budget Committee had recommended $3,000 for the Stanley Museum, but voters approved a $4,000 appropriation. Brad Orbeton explained that the Budget Committee only recommended no appropriation for the Kingfield Days celebration because this year’s committees lacked volunteers. Since then, residents Emily Hatfield, Diane Christen and Danielle Mathieu have volunteered to organize the event. With the July 19, 20, and 21 events a month away, voters quickly approved adding $5,000 back into the budget.

Part of the budget is paid through appropriations from the town’s 30-year tax-increment financing account, which shelters Poland Spring’s bottling plant tax revenues.

“So there’s no raising money here?” Peter Manning asked. “The money’s already there?”

That money is in a reserve account, said Board of Selectmen Chairman Heather Moody, so the added funds will not come from property taxes.

Funding was approved for the Recreation, Kingfield Pops, art walk and bicentennial accounts. Voters also approved TIF funds for five reserve accounts: planning, road reconstruction, sidewalks and parking and streetscapes. The Maine Department of Transportation’s reconstruction plan proposed for the 2014-15 year has allowed town committees to plan for improvements before the design work and construction begins on Main Street.

Voters approved the election of Robert Tripp and Peter Manning to the Water Board of Trustees and approved dog control and cemetery ordinances.
