It’s spring cleaning time in Edgartown, and voters at the annual town meeting Tuesday will take up a 63-article warrant that calls for repairs to town roadways and walkways, restoration of historic buildings, the replacement of several town vehicles and a fresh start for renovating and expanding the town library.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the Old Whaling Church. Moderator Philip J. Norton Jr. will preside over the meeting.

Voters will consider an operating budget of $26.8 million that includes a two per cent cost of living increase for town employees. Overall the budget is a 2.89 per cent increase over the current year’s spending.

“The budget is usually pretty tight around here,” said town administrator Pam Dolby, who said this year’s increases were mostly in education, where spending will rise from $8.9 million to $9.1 million; retirement, which will increase from $827,000 to $928,000; and interest and debt, which will increase from $2.37 million to $2.44 million.

The town’s regional high school assessment will decrease slightly this year, from $3.25 million to $3.24 million.

Seven spending articles will require votes on corresponding ballot questions at the annual town election on Thursday to override Proposition 2 1/2, including $250,000 for a new ambulance, $180,000 for repairs to town streets, sidewalks, bike paths and drainage systems, $65,270 for work at the wastewater treatment plant, and $236,000 to keep the town dredge program running.

A $300,000 article to jump-start a new library expansion project is expected to generate discussion as library trustees bring their case to the voters. Trustees scrapped a former plan in February when it was determined that not enough funds could be raised by July to qualify for a matching state grant for the project.

A Proposition 2 1/2 override will also be required for a project to extend the town sewer system to the Island Grove subdivision. The corresponding article was approved at a special town meeting last October.

Voters will be asked to approve a number of restoration and maintenance projects using Community Preservation Act money, including $18,500 for work on the exterior of the Martha’s Vineyard Museum’s Cooke House, and $16,000 to replace the roof on the Pease House (the museum must raise $9,000 to contribute to the Pease House project). There is a request for $37,000 for the new fire-fighting museum, $25,000 to restore the town bell in the Old Whaling Church, and $15,907 to cover Edgartown’s portion of restoring county courthouse windows, an Islandwide project. Also on the CPA funding list is a request for $75,000 to restore the Memorial Wharf. If the money is approved, Mrs. Dolby said repairs to the decking, railings, and metal sheathing on the wharf will begin this spring and be finished in time for the summer season.

The town Community Preservation Committee also submitted several spending articles for affordable housing, including $30,000 for rental subsidies in the Morgan Woods housing complex, and another $126,000 to help shore up the Islandwide rental assistance program, which has run out of money.

Three years after the town agreed to spend $25,000 to supplement the annual Fourth of July fireworks display, also funded in part by the town board of trade, voters will again be asked to pitch in. “I think it’s important enough to the people,” Mrs. Dolby said, adding: “The board of trade will still pay the lion’s share.”

Voters will be asked to buy two four-track vehicles at a cost of $8,550 and $15,000, for the shellfish and the parks and recreation departments. And they will be asked to spend $23,000 to replace the engine of the Boston Whaler patrol. The police department is asking for $29,000 to replace a cruiser.

Police chief Paul Condlin has put on the warrant a set of proposed regulations for what are called electric personal assistive mobility devices, including scooters, wheelchairs and Segways. The proposed rules are apparently the result of someone making inquiries in town about leading tours using such devices. The application never went through, but Chief Condlin said it alerted him to the need for regulations in town. If voters approve the article, use of the devices on sidewalks, bike paths and in parks would require written permission from the town.

Several personnel bylaw amendments appear on the warrant, which town human resources coordinator Marilyn Wortman said are an attempt to revise an outdated bylaw written in 1991.

One amendment for a healthy workplace environment is related to recent legislation passed by the state on bullying in schools, Mrs. Wortman said. She said the amendment would provide security for employees feeling threatened by coworkers in the workplace in situations of harassment or intimidation.

Most of the remaining articles are free cash spending requests, including:

• $1,560 to cover a salary increase for the ambulance coordinator;

• $5,000 to pay for a required review of the salary and compensation plan in the personnel bylaw;

• $5,600 for the rental and maintenance of portable toilets at the upper Main street Park and Ride;

• $1,000 to replace a window and several dog houses at the dog pound;

• $60,000 for maintenance and repairs relating to marine operations in the Edgartown harbor;

• $20,000 to install eight landfill gas monitoring wells around the old landfill;

• $25,000 for the rental and maintenance of portable toilets at South Beach;

• $7,775 to tie the Katama Airport property into town water;

• $15,000 to replace the exhaust hood in the Katama Airport restaurant.

An article near the end of the warrant would begin the process of amending the conservation restriction at the Katama Airport in order to allow for the renovation and expansion of the airport hanger. The plan also calls for adding more property to the wild and protected area of the grass-strip airport, which includes a globally rare sandplain grassland. The conservation restriction is held by The Nature Conservancy. If voters agree to the change, it will trigger a petition to the state legislature, which must approve any changes in conservation restrictions.
