Jenness Beach Village District approves $120,660 general municipal budget

The Jenness Beach Village District voted July 11 to raise and appropriate $120,660 for general municipal operations for the coming fiscal period.

District Clerk John Tuttle moved the appropriation under Article 03; Commissioner William Christo seconded the motion. The meeting record states the motion passed, but the transcript does not include a roll-call or individual vote tally. The article as presented to voters excludes special or individual appropriations addressed elsewhere on the warrant.

During subsequent public comment residents asked questions about where district documents are stored and whether the district maintains a surplus from prior years. Clerk Tuttle said the approved budget does not include funds for off-site document storage and that any such expense would need to be provided for in a future budget. Attendees were directed to the MS-737 form posted at town hall for prior-year tax and surplus figures.

The appropriation was approved by voice vote as recorded in the meeting minutes; the transcript records only the procedural outcome, not individual votes. The district adjourned at 3:36 p.m.
