Select board approves corrected town‑meeting warrant after numeric errors found

Jun 30, 2026

The select board voted unanimously to approve an amended town‑meeting warrant after staff found incorrect figures for Article 10 (general assistance/donations) and Article 15 (municipal benefits/insurance/utilities); the manager said both errors were triple‑checked and corrected.

The full story

Town manager Tony told the board that two numeric errors had been identified in the published town‑meeting warrant and explained the corrections. Article 10 should read a vote to raise $87,950 to fund general assistance and donations (manager said the prior version omitted the general-assistance portion), and Article 15 should read $1,043,413 to fund municipal benefits, insurance and utilities for FY26–27 (an extra zero had inflated the number in the prior version). The manager said both mistakes were found and corrected and that Maine law requires the board to vote to approve the amended warrant.
