Voters passed a $4.3 million combined school and municipal budget in fewer than 45 minutes at Saturday’s annual Town Meeting.

Roughly 70 residents attended, passing the first 48 items on Georgetown’s 49- article warrant without amendments or discussion.

The only amendment made from the floor was to withdraw the final article — to raise the tax levy limit if necessary — from the warrant as it was not required on the basis of the budget passed.

“There hasn’t been anything controversial this year, and the budget is pretty flat,” said Mary McDonald, assistant to the selectmen and town treasurer. “We’re really lucky in that our committees are very frugal. The school budget, at $2 million, is the largest part of our budget, and that’s still pretty frugal.”

Andrew Ross-Wells was elected as moderator, a role he has filled for most of the last decade.

“I try to go through everything as quickly as possible,” said Ross-Wells in an interview, as residents voted by secret ballot to raise additional funds for education, “while not disrupting the process and making sure that anyone who wants to speak is given a chance.”

The town voted 58-3 to raise and appropriate $736,804 in additional local funds, exceeding the State Essential Programs and Services model by $708,615.

There were town-wide public hearings last month to discuss the town and school budgets.

“Most of the people who come to this come to the public hearings,” he said, “and they’ve already asked lots of questions and they’ve gotten satisfactory answers.”

The budget for fiscal year 2014-15 reflects an increase of $191,057, or 4.6 percent, more than last year’s budget. The impact on the mil rate is an increase of $0.27 per $1,000 of assessed property value, raising the rate from $7.10 up to $7.37.

Municipal elections, which took place by secret ballot prior to the open Town Meeting, on June 10, had few surprises for residents.

Charles Collins was elected for a oneyear term as road commissioner, defeating incumbent commissioner Dale Savoie.

Geoffrey Birdsall was reelected to the Board of Selectmen to serve another three-year term; Catherine Collins was reelected as town clerk and tax collector; Mary McDonald was reelected as treasurer; Georgia Kennett was reelected as a cemetery district trustee; Bronwen Tudor was elected to the Town Owned Property Management Board; and Kristin Malin was reelected to the school committee to serve another three-year term.

“The town is well-managed and people are involved,” said selectman Geoffrey Birdsall in an interview after the Town Meeting. “They’re seeing what is happening through the whole process. Even when there are differences of opinions, things still go pretty smoothly and respectfully. I’ve been doing this for awhile now, and I can’t remember a really contentious town meeting.”
