Town Meeting wrapped up on Tuesday night to the cheers of voters. After more than two months, the forum closed with citizens voting on the warrant's remaining financial articles.

The meeting, which began in April, was continued to May in order to address budgetary articles that could not be addressed after a $919,000 discrepancy was discovered in the town's books. Roughly $219,000 of the discrepancy remains, but Town Administrator Mark Andrews announced that the budget could be addressed after learning how much the town would receive in state aid for the upcoming year.

Town Meeting's final debate came over a routine article that set the salaries of the Town Clerk at $62,428, the Town Moderator at $118 per day, and the Board of Selectmen and all other elected officials at $0 per year.

Brenda Eckstrom, a former Selectman, asked Town Meeting to amend the article to compensate members of the Board of Selectmen at a $2,000 per year salary.

“After being on the Board of Selectmen, I know what is expected of them. ... I know the financial commitment it takes to be a Selectman,” she said.

Eckstrom explained that Selectmen are required to travel for their elected position and said the salary would reimburse members for gas costs and other expenditures.

“This town can’t afford it right now,” Finance Committee Chair Donna Bronk argued. “If we are going to do it, let’s have a plan. Let’s have it in the budget.”

Bronk also noted that a salary of any amount would make Selectmen eligible for town health insurance at an annual cost far greater than the $2,000 salary.

Andrews told voters that the extra $10,000 needed to fund the salaries would make the budget unbalanced. However, he said, money could be transferred to accommodate the pay at a later date.

Andrews also said that the Selectmen would not automatically receive health insurance. The board would have to vote to provide themselves with that benefit.

After some debate, Eckstrom's amendment failed and the article passed as written in the warrant.
