GOSHEN — Residents of Goshen OK’d an official municipal budget, put off a decision on a big loan from municipal account and got a new selectboard member this week.

Incumbent selectboard member Timmi Moffi did not run for re-election. There were no candidates on the Australian ballot on Town Meeting Day, but Jasmine Hoffman won a write-in campaign for the three-year seat on the board.

Other winners in Tuesday voting were Michael Medeiros, one-year as moderator; Kathy Mathis, three years as Trustee of Public Funds; and Ken Brown, three years as Cemetery Commissioner.

Goshen citizens at Monday evenings in-person town meeting came willing to vote on taking $120,000 from the Municipal Forest Account and let the town use it as a loan to aid in the Town Hall renovation project and to be paid back over 10 years. Selectboard members had expected to give some guidance on how contractor bids came in and if they would need the full amount, but without any bids in hand, the meeting decided to put off a decision for the time being. Selectmen said they might also see if there was state grant money available later this month, as well.

At the meeting, folks did vote to eliminate the office of lister, and instead hire a professionally qualified assessor.

The selectboard also asked for, and was granted, authority to pay $3,000 to hire Addison County Sheriff’s Department deputies to carry out four hours a month of speed enforcement.

The big ticket items were $653,316 for general municipal expenses and $285,700 for highway expenses. They passed.

Also on Tuesday, Goshen residents voted on the budget for the Otter Valley Unified Union School District, which was defeated.
