No one stepped forward to join the Planning Board at the town meeting Saturday or wanted to become an alternate on the appeals board.

“We will have to twist some arms to fill the Planning Board seat,” said Town Clerk Jane Gibbons. “They know how much work it is.”

About 38 residents approved nearly all budget items and voted to raise $70,000 to maintain roads. Voters also decided to raise $112,000 for snow removal.

“Already this year, we used up $30,000 more than we used last year at this time,” Gibbons said.

Voters tabled a request for $10,000 that would have paid for the drawing and design of a new fire station.

Residents elected Warren Noble to the Board of Selectmen for a three–year term. Frances Flint was elected treasurer, tax collector, and excise tax collector. Gibbons will serve another three years as town clerk and two years as registrar of voters.

John Smith was elected alternate to the Planning Board and Michelle Windsor was elected to the appeals board for a five-year term. Two seats remain open as alternates on the appeals board.

Wendy Slattery was elected to the Board of Directors for School Administrative District 72.
