TOWN MEETINGS

Town meetings

Sangerville

Residents voted to raise no money at the annual town meeting Saturday to address a dilapidated building in the village.

Selectman Rick Pellerin reported that the building is in the process of being sold and that the prospective buyers are aware that the town wants improvements made to the building. It was suggested that the town give them three to six months to start the improvements.

In other business, residents approved borrowing up to $90,000 to repair the foundation of the town hall. Rather than do the work in stages, the budget committee recommended that the work be conducted all at once for possible savings.

No funds were raised for social service agencies, including Guilford Kiwanis, Penquis CAP, Womancare, American Red Cross, Eastern Agency on Aging, Pine Tree Hospice, Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation, and Community Health and Counseling.

Re-elected to office were: Charles Cleaves, selectman; Robert Haley, sanitary district trustee, and Alan Nickerson, fire warden. Alvina Church was elected treasurer, and Sue McAvoy and James Bell were elected to the SAD 4 board of directors.

About 100 residents turned out for the annual town meeting Saturday and approved an $800,000 plan to repave and reconstruct roads.

The road plan, the largest of its kind in town history, calls for borrowing the money and paying it back over a number of years. Every paved town road will be resurfaced, and some roads will be reconstructed.

In voting Friday, Kathleen Mattingly was elected to the selectman’s post vacated by Jennifer Wixson. Mattingly was unopposed in her bid for the three-year term.

Incumbent Karen Carlson was re-elected to represent the town on the SAD 3 board.

Dale Walker was elected as a write-in candidate – and accepted – as a trustee of the town forest.

All the articles on the warrant passed as written, with only slight modifications.
