Three proposed articles seek to raise community spirit, two by easing the financial burden on disabled seniors and one by considering ownership of Hook Cemetery.

A pair of articles seek to increase property tax exemptions for seniors who earn less than $50,000 per year and have less than $100,000 in assets.

A third article comes before voters again after it failed last year.

It reads: “To see if the town will accept ownership and care of Hook Cemetery on Dover Road as requested by Diane Loso, descendant as requested by the Cemetery Trustees.”

Although the estimated tax impact was listed as $0.00, several residents argued last year that taxpayer contributions may be necessary in the future.

Budget: The proposed operating budget is $3.44 million, which means a tax impact of $3.79 per $1,000 of assessed property value.

Special warrant articles could mean an additional $393,000 added to the budget. Total appropriations amount to $3.83 million, with the amount to be raised through taxation at $2.26 million after subtracting the $1.58 million in estimated revenues and credits.

Noteworthy articles: Trust and reserved funds could receive $175,000, with a total tax impact of less than 30 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value.

An article seeking $190,000 to buy and outfit a used or demo forestry vehicle for the Chichester Fire Department would come from an existing fund and would not affect the tax impact.

Contested races: In the one contested race, settled on election day last Tuesday, Mike Williams was added to the select board, garnering 175 votes to beat Corie St. Germain (133) and Frank Swirko (30).

When and where: The Chichester Town Meeting will be held on Saturday at 9 a.m. at the Chichester Central School.
