KENNEBUNK — More than 50 voters from Kennebunk, Kennebunkport and Arundel adopted the proposed $37.2 million RSU 21 budget during the annual District Budget Meeting on Tuesday night.
The budget will now head to referendum
vote May 14 in all three towns, when residents in each of the towns will
be asked to cast a ballot to approve the budget as adopted Tuesday.
During the hour-long meeting, the voters present at Kennebunk Elementary School raised their cards in support of the 19 warrant articles, either unanimously or nearly so. While voters had an opportunity to amend the articles Tuesday, only two warrant articles were discussed and there was only one proposed amendment, which failed.
Chairman Kevin Knight said the evening went smoothly, which could be attributed to the budget not including new programming and calling for reductions where possible. Knight said he hopes residents turn out May 14 to vote on the proposal.
