Select Board signs RSU 12 budget validation warrant for June 9 referendum
Summary
The board signed the RSU 12 warrant and notice of election for a regional school unit budget validation referendum to be held at Old Town Hall on Tuesday, June 9, noting a new law requires signatures before the 18th and that the final budget amount will be set at a later Chelsea meeting.
The Select Board signed the RSU 12 budget validation referendum warrant and notice of election for Tuesday, June 9, to be held at Old Town Hall, as required under recently changed timing provisions mentioned at the meeting.
Why it matters: The warrant begins the official notice process for a regional school unit budget validation referendum that will determine acceptance of the RSU 12 budget. Board members noted the oddly early timeline is the result of a new law requiring signatures before the 18th, and that the precise dollar amount will be finalized by Chelsea before the referendum.
Board action: Chair offered a motion to accept the RSU 12 warrant and notice of election; the motion was seconded and approved. Town staff will post the warrant and ensure required copies and signatures are returned so the referendum can proceed on June 9.
Next steps: Staff will finalize posting, provide required copies, and coordinate with the RSU business manager to confirm the final budget figure prior to the election.
