Standish voters on Tuesday shot down a pair of sidewalk construction bonds and gave the thumbs up on a pair of term limits charter amendments.

The sidewalk bonds – or Question 1 and Question 2 – would have authorized about $180,000 in spending on sidewalk construction projects in Standish Corner and Steep Falls.

Question 1, which would have approved $104,600 in bond principal toward matching funds for a sidewalk construction project in the Village Center, failed 2,069-2,226.

Question 2, which would have approved $76,800 in bond principal toward a sidewalk project in Steep Falls, was defeated in a 1,745-2,578 vote.

The two successful charter amendments will collectively impose term limits on town councilors, school board directors and members of the town budget committee.

Question 3, a citizens’ petition that limits town councilors to a maximum of two consecutive three-year terms, passed in a 2,562-1,700 vote. As a result of the amendment, after serving either four successive years or two consecutive terms, councilors will have to wait three years in order to run again. The amendment does not impose a lifetime limit on council terms.

Question 4, which was put forward by longtime councilor Phil Pomerleau and imposes similar limits for School Administrative District 6 board members and budget committee members, as well as town councilors, passed 2,446-1,826. Pomerleau’s amendment does not apply to members of the Planning Board, who are also elected in Standish.
