GREENVILLE – Residents approved the municipal and school warrant articles at the annual town meeting on Monday without any revisions, lengthy debate or divisiveness, and they concluded the business in one evening.

The 90 residents who attended the meeting also gave a green light to a $375,000 borrowing package for improvements to Varney and Scammon roads, Cemetery Lane and Franklin Place.

“I was very pleased with how town meeting went; people asked good questions, and we gave detailed answers that seemed to satisfy voters,” Town Manager John Simko said after the meeting.

The nearly $1.5 million municipal spending plan, along with the county assessment of $314,659, and $32,000 in overlay funds for tax abatements if needed, will require about a 71-cent increase in the mill rate, taking it from $19.70 to $20.41 per $1,000 valuation, Simko told residents on Monday.

Of that mill rate increase, about half was caused by a $55,000 jump in the town’s assessment for county government, he noted. The school budget caused no increase in the mill rate because it was essentially “flat-funded,” Simko explained.

The budget provides an extra $20,000 in the fire station reserve account to replace the aging boiler and heating system in the former municipal building that now is used as a fire station.

Fire Chief Mike Drinkwater told residents that the increase was a one-time request and that the reserve account would revert back to $5,000 next year.

Landfill issues, specifically a revised waste disposal fee system, generated some discussion before it was approved.

Now, in addition to user fees imposed for dumping tires and appliances with Freon, commercial trucks delivering materials to be burned and metal also will face fees.

“We’re really concerned about what’s going into that landfill,” Selectman Alan McBrierty said Monday. “We’re trying to take control of that.”

Residents also authorized selectmen to enter into a memorandum of understanding and easement with the National Resource Education Center for the use of town-owned land on Moosehead Lake Road.

That document, not yet drafted, will define the responsibilities of a parking lot, septic tank and well that will be constructed on town land funded by a state grant.

Once these projects are completed, the town plans to lease the land to NREC, which intends to build an education center on adjoining property.

Since the $3,378,760 school budget exceeded the spending cap under LD 1, approval to raise $847,492 locally without state participation came during a written vote.
