Sunapee — In the only contested race on either the town or school ballot, Edward G. Andersen and Jesse Tyler were elected to the School Board.

The two winners defeated three other candidates, including incumbent April Royce, who had withdrawn her candidacy previously. Tyler was the top vote-getter, with 325, followed by Andersen (273), John Augustine (231), Veronica Hastings (133) and Royce (110).

Also Tuesday, voters easily approved the $12 million school budget and $7.1 million town budget but defeated an article to disband the town’s board of fire engineers and a rejected a second article prohibiting fire department members from serving on the board of fire engineers, which they do now.

Disbanding the board of fire engineers would have meant the Selectboard, town or town manager would appoint the fire chief instead of the board of fire engineers.

Several articles to place money in various capital reserve funds passed, as did a request to buy a highway dump-plow truck.

Voters rejected spending $150,000 from a fire apparatus capital reserve fund to buy a forestry truck, but approved putting $115,000 in that same reserve fund in a separate article. Spending $45,000 for phase I of a cold storage building at the highway garage was approved, as was $15,000 for the town’s 250th anniversary next year.

Two of the 11 zoning amendment articles were defeated. One would have added patios to the list of structures requiring a permit and the other, by petition, would have changed a stretch of land along Route 11 from Jobs Creek Road in Georges Mills to Browns Hill Road to a mixed-use district, allowing for commercial development. Both lost by wide margins.

All other school district articles passed, three of which place money from a year-end surplus into reserve funds for special education, facilities and the Sunapee Middle High School roof fund.

Turnout was 24 percent, or 662 of the town’s 2,779 registered voters.

Correction

Former Sunapee School Board member April Royce, who received 110 votes Tuesday, was on the ballot for a School Board seat but had withdrawn her candidacy. An earlier version of the headline with this story incorrectly suggested she lost the race because voters preferred other candidates.
