Acting Town Manager Jerome Plante cited services provided this year and future budget needs, while Councilor Bird called the move cosmetic. Overdrafts noted include public works, legal and audit, lifeguards, police, and other line items totaling about $31,250, with funding to come from the overlay account.

Shortfall Accounts Get Booster Funds

Kennebunkport voters at a brief special town meeting approved transfers totaling 25,074 from the Unappropriated Surplus to several accounts to cover year end shortfalls.

Additional moves included 5,500 for legal expenses, 1,300 to Town Dump, 6,274 to Snow Removal, and 8,500 for interest on tax notes, with 7,000 total legal costs this year, mainly defending the zoning ordinance in court. Moderator Mrs. Beryl Bilderback led the session.
