MARION — The town finds itself in "reasonable shape" as it prepares to enter fiscal 2010, according to a Finance Committee report prepared for the annual Town Meeting at the Sippican School Monday night.
The meeting will start at 6:45 p.m.
Although the cost of snow removal ran $100,000 above the budgeted amount and state aid has been reduced considerably, nearly all departments remained within budget and the town will end the fiscal year near its goals, the committee reported.
The operating budget for fiscal 2010 has been set at $17,114,566, a figure that represents an increase of 0.57 percent over last year.
There are 38 articles on the warrant for the meeting, which is expected to span two nights, along with a single article on the special Town Meeting warrant that will be included within the annual.
Copies of the warrant are included within the 2008 annual report available from the Town House.
Among other things, voters will be asked to approve the acquisition of a new street sweeper, a four-wheel drive police cruiser and a 24-foot utility boat for the harbormaster.
Purchasing the street sweeper for $184,000, if approved at Town Meeting, also requires a vote at the annual election May 22.
