Voters approved Question 1 of the town ballot, 317-88, which asked if they wish to amend the shellfish conservation ordinance to remove the residency requirement for the shellfish warden, and to add more restrictive language regarding shellfish harvesting in enclosed areas.
 
Question 2, which asked if residents wished to remove the residency requirement for the chairman of the Shellfish Conservation Committee, also passed in a 300-112 vote.
 
Voters also approved enactment of a “key lock box ordinance,” 315-100,, which would require renovated buildings to have a key lock box installed on the exterior of the structure to aid fire and emergency medical personnel in gaining access.
 
Residents also approved a $50 million state bond passed in the 127th Legislature, $45 million of which will be put toward investments in infrastructure research and development, and to expand employment and preserve Maine jobs.
 
The remaining $5 million will go toward creating jobs and economic growth through investment in small businesses. The bond passed in Kennebunkport 316-108.
