NORWAY — A special town meeting is set for May 15 to address finances for cleaning up cemeteries, updating the town website and correcting an error in the Recreation Department’s reserve account funding.
The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the selectmen meeting room.
Town Manager David Holt said Monday that voters will be requested to return money to the cemetery maintenance budget that was cut last year by annual town meeting voters concerned about the impact of state budget cuts proposed by Gov. Paul LePage.
Because the budget was cut last year at the June annual town meeting, Holt said the underfunded budget was overdrawn.
Holt said the amount of money has not yet been determined but it will be used to clean the cemeteries before Memorial Day.
In other action, voters will be asked to approve using approximately $5,000 from the Denison Cole Trust Fund to upgrade the town website.
The board decided not to wait until the annual town meeting in June to ask for the funds in order to expedite the website before tourist season. The website was established about 10 years ago.
Voters also will be asked to correct an error made at the 2013 annual town meeting for the Recreation Department’s reserve account funding.
Holt said the amount of money necessary for some of the articles is still being determined.
