GRANBY - Town Meeting Monday passed all the articles left from its initial session last month, including a $16.6 million budget for the coming fiscal year.

The budget, presented as one article with 35 separate items for various spending categories, faced a challenge from resident Michael Ribeiro, of Green Meadow Lane, said Town Clerk Kathy Kelly-Regan. Ribeiro moved to amend the budget by reducing each item by 10 percent, but that motion was defeated and the budget, as recommended by the Finance Committee and Board of Selectmen, was approved by a majority vote, she said.

The budget is $11,000 more than the current fiscal year, which ends June 30. It represents just a .006 percent increase but uses $280,000 in free cash and $77,000 from a stabilization fund because of decreases in anticipated state aid, John Libera, chairman of the Finance Committee, said last week. The largest single item was the school budget at $9.2 million.

In a special Town Meeting held prior to the reconvened annual Town Meeting, voters approved spending $115,000 to paint and repair windows on Kellogg Hall.

The meeting, held in the Granby Junior-Senior High School cafeteria, drew 125 voters and lasted about an hour and a half, said Kelly-Regan.
