WISCASSET

After Wiscasset voters nixed funding for certain town departments at the ballot box on June 12, the town’s selectmen plan to hold a special meeting to determine how to support those municipal services.

On Tuesday, the Board of Selectmen will revisit proposed budget amounts for specific town costs centers, including: codes enforcement, contingency funds and Lincoln County Television (LCTV).

Voters turned down appropriating $54,996 for codes enforcement suggested in the June 12 town warrant. They also turned down suggested amounts of $60,000 for a contingency account and $7,000 for LCTV.

Town Manager Laurie Smith said that the Board of Selectmen on Tuesday will consider reducing the contingency recommendation to $50,000 and the Lincoln County Television recommendation to $5,000.

With voter approval for the Board of Selectmen to use up to a quarter of the previous year’s appropriation for any given cost center, the town can support those cost centers temporarily while another budget is set.

Smith said Thursday that no new amount had yet been suggested for the codes enforcement budget.

In June 12 voting, Wiscasset residents also rejected appropriations of $2,000 to the Jessie Albert Dental Clinic and $1,500 to Coastal Trans. No new amounts are slated for proposal in that special town meeting warrant.

On Tuesday, the board will look to determine a date for a special meeting to set new budgets for codes enforcement, contingency, and LCTV.

The board will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the town office.
