Cutler residents will consider several articles at 7 tonight at a special town meeting at Bay Ridge School. The town and its three harbor masters have been facing a lawsuit over harbor issues since December, and several of the articles relate to that matter. One asks residents to appropriate $2,000 from general surplus to pay the town clerk for her unforeseen hours, administration and research directly related to the town’s defense of the lawsuit. Another asks residents to use $6,000 from the harbor management fund to prepare a more comprehensive harbor ordinance to present to voters at the town’s annual meeting in August. Some of that $6,000 would go toward the town’s legal fees stemming from the lawsuit. Another article amends the ordinance to give the town’s harbor committee more authority. “We are clarifying some things in the harbor ordinance, some things that haven’t been written but have been considered policy,” said Kristan Porter, a selectman.
