Voters will consider raising $50,000 for the Fire Department equipment reserve account. A sum of $25,000 was raised last year. The department is preparing to purchase a new truck, Deputy Clerk Lori LeMont said.

A plowing contract results in a winter road budget request of $165,000 compared to the $110,000 voted on last year, she said.
