Residents in the new town of Chebeague Island approved a $2.7 million municipal budget and a $901,000 school budget at their second annual town meeting Saturday.

Voters also re-elected Donna Damon to serve a three-year term on the five-member board of selectmen. Beverly Johnson was re-elected to a three-year term on the school committee.

The town’s $2.7 million budget is a $10,700 increase over the current budget. Most of the increase resulted from debt payments the island incurred when it separated from the town of Cumberland and Maine School Administrative District 51 to become its own town last July 1, according to town administrator Scott Seaver.

The adopted school budget is a decrease of $15,000 under the current budget. It now must go to town voters on Tuesday for validation, a new state law requirement.

A measure allowing the town to accept a donation from the Sebago Historical Society and use it for the design and construction of an addition to the society’s display barn was withdrawn at Sebago’s annual town meeting Saturday.

About 65 to 70 voters showed up for the meeting, a figure which board of selectmen chair Allen Crabtree called disappointing: “But, when we have an issue that’s controversial, it’s really packed, so I guess that means people are happy with what we’re doing.”

Everything on the town warrant passed, except the historical society article, which was pulled. The historical society’s display barn is on town property, so the organization needs approval from the town to build an addition there. The town and historical society, however, had different ideas about the work that needs to go into the project. Ann Burns, president of the society, said the organization can likely do the project for a cheaper cost without seeking out professional design services and site work, as stipulated in the article on the town warrant.

The historical society and town will meet to discuss how to work together on the project before proceeding.

Also at the meeting, the town honored Michele Bukoveckas, who has served as town clerk in Sebago for 10 years.

Gray town meeting voters approved a plan Saturday to buy the former Walker's Tire garage on Turnpike Acres Road to replace the cramped and aging Village Fire Station, said Deborah Mancini, town council chairwoman.

The decision to spend $260,000 on the newer garage property must be ratified during the second half of the annual town meeting on June 10, Mancini said.

The landmark village station was built as a town hall in 1837. Mancini said the historic brick building likely will be sold if the plan to replace it with the more modern garage wins final approval.

Voters elected a new member to Harpswell’s Board of Selectmen, authorized funds to clean up Mitchell Field, and rejected town funding for a wind study on Long Reach Mountain at Saturday’s annual town meeting.

Mark E. Wallace, who works at the town’s transfer station, was the top vote-getter in a three-way race for selectman. He replaces Samuel Alexander, who chose not to seek re-election.

Town Clerk Roz Knight said Wallace received 603 votes; David Chipman, 468 votes, and Debora Levensailor 63 votes.

Voters approved $12,727 to make improvements at Mitchell Field, a 118-acre, undeveloped waterfront property. Funds will go toward removing an existing water tower and for construction of new fencing on an existing pier.

The most controversial article, which was defeated, asked the town to spend up to $10,000 to help fund a wind power study.

Town Administrator Kristi Eiane said opponents argued that Harpswell should not spend town funds to determine if a wind turbine on Long Reach Mountain could produce enough electricity to make it feasible.

About 110 people at the town meeting Saturday approved new fees for building and electrical permits.

“Many of these building fees were established between 10 to 20 years ago,” Selectman William Crain said. “We had a fair amount of discussion about it. They were approved overwhelmingly. The fees are slightly below our surrounding towns.”

Residents approved all 34 warrant articles, except for one that was amended. It reduced the Planning Board expenses by roughly $1,200, Crain said.

In elections, voters elected Alfred Fauver to the Board of Selectmen for a three-year term, replacing Crain, who did not run for re-election. Jennifer Kaplan was re-elected to the school board.

BALDWIN — Around 70 people at Saturday’s town meeting approved an estimated $626,000 municipal budget and increased the snow removal budget by $20,000.

Norman McKenney, who started his 36th year on the Board of Selectman on Saturday, said residents voted to give a $1 hourly wage increase to the selectmen, the town clerk, treasurer, tax collector, road commissioner and members of the highway road crew. “We have had the same pay for quite a number of years, probably five or six anyway,” he said.

About $400,000 of the budget increases will be raised by taxes. McKenney said this winter forced residents to increase the snow removal budget. From January to the town meeting, Baldwin usually spends $25,000 to $30,000 for winter road maintenance. So far, the town has spent $52,000, he said. Each year, voters raised $80,000 for winter road maintenance. This year, residents voted to raise $100,000.

“If the good Lord puts it down there, we have to take care of it. Everything is so expensive now, but people need their roads plowed to go to work and make a living,” McKenney said.

Residents also authorized the Board of Selectmen and road commissioner to spend up to $138,000 to purchase a new plow truck.

Allan Dolloff was elected to the Board of Selectman. He received 92 votes over Glen Reynolds, who received 63 votes.

Josiah Pierce was elected to the board of directors for School Administrative District 55.
