Sweden holds special town meeting

SWEDEN — Nearly 20 Sweden residents met at a Special Town Meeting Feb. 14 moderated by Ed Ryan. Residents elected Bruce Taylor as selectman to fill out the remainder of a term until the 2015 Annual Town Meeting in late March.

In addition, voters approved to return over $55,000 from surplus back to the accounts of Public Works, Public Safety, and General Government. This bookkeeping issue addressed funds that were moved to surplus during the 2013 audit. Voters also approved taking $9,000 from 2014 surplus to cover expenses for legal counsel relating to a zoning issue.
