Edgecomb residents approved a $2.37 million dollar bond for work and paving on a number of town roads as well as paving five dirt roads at the Town Meeting on May 11.
The 3-hour and 45 minute-long meeting went smoothly with most articles, including the entire school budget and a new fireworks ordinance, passing without amendment.
The biggest controversies came in discussions on a Land Use Ordinance amendment which changed the zone designation and minimum lot size for properties in Marine District II (now combined with Marine District I and called simply Marine District) and the Budget Committee’s recommendation of giving no funding to Lincoln County Television, both of which were approved.
In the elections, voting results were, for: selectman, Jessica Chubbuck, 48; Planning Board (two seats), Barry Hathorne, 47, Gretchen Burleigh-Johnson, 48; School Committee, Sarah Clifford, 49; tax collector, Deborah Boucher, 43, Karen Potter (write-in), 1; town clerk, Claudia Coffin, 48; treasurer, Claudia Coffin, 48; road commissioner, Scott Griffin, 48.
All candidates were incumbents except Potter and Burleigh-Johnson, who was an alternate on the Planning Board.
