SABATTUS — Selectmen and the Budget Committee are almost unanimous in their recommendations for next month’s annual town meeting, scheduled for May 22.

Among the meeting’s 39 planned articles, the two elected groups agreed on all but two. In one item, the Budget Committee recommended spending about $2,500 less on the administration’s $282,501 budget. In another, selectmen recommended setting aside $75,000 to be deposited into the Fire Department Capital Equipment Reserve Fund, an account that would be used to fund a future replacement of firetrucks and other department vehicles.

Other financial items — all agreed upon by the two boards — include $479,467 to operate the Police Department, $136,810 for the Fire Department and $54,052 to fund Dispatch E911 services.

The boards are both backing a plan to set aside $21,000 toward the purchase of a new police cruiser and using $125,000 in municipal savings to offset property taxes.

In non-financial items, townspeople will be asked if they wish to accept the Evergreen Road as a town road.

The annual town meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. at the Sabattus Town Office at 190 Middle Road.
