Town meeting voters approved a budget quickly, supporting a 13 percent increase that reflected higher costs for plowing town roads.

Nearly 50 voters came to the meeting to approve appropriations that totaled $692,837.

"A big part of that was due to the fact that we don't have our own plowing equipment, and the one person who bid on the job charged almost twice as much as we usually pay," Tax Assessor Sandra Scribner said. "We had to come up with the money."

Another increase, Scribner said, came from the voters' approval of extended hours for patrons.

"We're open Monday through Saturday, and now people can come in earlier or stay later," Scribner said.

Voters approved amendments to the town's shoreland zoning map, including renaming all Limited Resource Protection wetlands to Resource Protection, as well as rezoning the undeveloped portions of the Limited Residential Shoreland zones around Barnard and Little Barnard Ponds.

On Friday, voters re-elected Jan Wilkinson as selectwoman and Tom McDonald as school board director. Three new members – Laurie Lemont, Daphne Hart and write-in candidate Marguerite Robichaux – will serve on the Planning Board.
