Chichester Town Meeting

 

The warrant was short, the attendance was light, but Chichester’s Town Meeting on March 15th lasted from 10 a.m. to until after 2 p.m. Discussion expanded, as it often does, to fill the customary time period for a Town Meeting.

 

Chichester will have a new Town Moderator this year. Nathan Cyr was elected to replace Doug Hall who is retiring, although he will continue to be School District Moderator. The two men shared the duties of chairing this Town Meeting to give Mr. Cyr some practice.

 

The budget passed after money was added so that the 20 year plan of the Road Advisory Committee for rebuilding town roads could proceed on schedule at the rate of 1.2 miles of road each year. This summer two sections of Horse Corner Road and one section of Bear Hill Road will be redone in addition to the regular maintenance covered by the Summer Fund.

 

The rest of the items on the warrant passed as well. Chichester will purchase and outfit a Forestry/Utility vehicle for the Fire Department and enter into a ten-year lease/purchase agreement for a Backhoe/Loader to replace the excavator now owned by the Highway Department. Money was put into several Capital Reserve Funds. 

 

It was voted to establish a Government Vehicle Maintenance Expendable Trust Fund with the Selectmen as agents. The idea is to have money set aside to pay for unanticipated repairs to town-owned vehicles and thus prevent spikes in the budget. Regular maintenance costs such as oil changes and tires would be covered in the department budgets.

 

The voters agreed that the town should accept the ownership and care of the Edmunds-Stanton Cemetery on Main Street as requested by the eldest living descendent. The meeting ended with recognition and thanks to Doug Hall for his 15 years of service as Town Moderator.
