Shelter Island voters reject $275,000 annual appropriation for History Museum
Summary
Proposition 4, seeking an annual $275,000 appropriation and corresponding levy for operations and maintenance of the Shelter Island History Museum, failed 239–536 in the May 20 vote.
Voters rejected Proposition 4, which would have authorized a $275,000 annual appropriation for operations and maintenance of the Shelter Island History Museum and allowed the district to levy the necessary tax. The District Clerk announced the result: "Yes 239 No 536 Total 775," and declared the proposition failed.
The failure means the Board will not levy the proposed $275,000 for the museum under this proposition. The Board accepted the election results and proceeded with other business, including personnel and intermunicipal-transport agreements.
