GREENVILLE – The town’s contribution to the Moosehead Lake Region Chamber of Commerce will be in an article by itself at this year’s town meeting.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. June 6, Monday, in the Louis Oakes Auditorium.

As recommended by the town’s budget committee, selectmen on Wednesday voted to remove the $10,000 request from unclassified accounts and set it aside in a separate warrant article.

Selectmen will recommend that the account be funded, but the budget committee will offer no recommendation.

This move will determine just how supportive residents are of the Chamber, Selectman Alan McBrierty said Wednesday, after learning of the budget committee’s recommendation.

Selectmen also embraced the budget committee’s recommendation to eliminate $750 budgeted for Police Department storage space at the municipal airport. The budget committee thought that there should be space available in the former municipal building, which now is used solely by the Fire Department.

When the new municipal building was built, the plans called for construction of a small storage building on the site. Because that was not done and the Police Department needs space for its barricades, cones and other materials, town officials had looked at improving storage space at the airport, according to Town Manager John Simko.

After making some minor revisions in the draft budget, selectmen adopted a $1,545,605 spending plan that reflects an increase in expenditures over 2004-2005 of about $122,000. Since the budget exceeds the tax cap for the town imposed under LD 1 by about $11,300, this amount will be the subject of a written ballot.

It is anticipated that the budget, if approved, will increase the mill rate from $19.70 per $1,000 property valuation to $20.43 per $1,000 valuation.

A homeowner with $75,000 in property participating in the homestead exemption will see a reduction in taxes of about $73. A nonhomestead property of the same value will have an increase of about $55, according to Simko.
