HANCOCK — With a thin representation of residents present, voters at Town Meeting Tuesday declined to rezone an area to allow gravel processing and argued about funding for the tax assessor.
In elections Monday, voters re-elected Richard Merchant and elected Daniel Bossert as selectmen.
The third candidate for the two positions was Steve VanDorn.
Rod Franzius and Antonio Blasi were re-elected to the Planning Board.
In other action at Town Meeting Tuesday — at which 95 of 1,709 registered voters were present — residents approved a $977,199 budget for 2013-2014.
