Plans to redraw a portion of the town line between Chilmark and Aquinnah are finally headed to the State House in Boston for approval almost two years after getting the green light from voters in both towns.

The Aquinnah selectmen on Tuesday signed off on a final plan for the town line along Boathouse Road that they say will leave each town with the same amount of land as before. The Chilmark selectmen have also approved the proposal, which requires an act of state legislature in order to become official.

The current town line runs directly through several shacks along Menemsha harbor and has caused confusion for years. The new line would place each shack in one town or the other.

“This will make it so the assessors will be assessing property clearly in their towns,” Aquinnah town administrator Adam Wilson said Tuesday.

The selectmen also looked ahead to the annual town meeting in May, at which voters will decide whether to buy a $450,000 pumper truck, among other requests. Articles are still being drafted, and the town plans to explore different borrowing options to pay for the truck. Fire chief Simon Bolin said the old truck has driven only 8,600 miles, and could serve as a plow and sanding truck in the future.

“The miles isn’t the problem, it’s the pump that’s the problem,” the chief said. “We’ve band-aided it together as much as we can.” He also hoped to find a temporary replacement, since a new truck would take almost a year for delivery.

A previous loan for a tanker truck is expected to be paid off this spring.

The town meeting article would require a two-thirds majority to pass, along with a debt exclusion to be decided at the annual town election on May 11. All three selectmen have endorsed the proposal.

A preliminary budget for the coming fiscal year shows an overall increase of 4.5 per cent, largely in the areas of education, public safety and public works. Selectman Jim Newman warned against relying too heavily on the town’s free cash account, and advocated for borrowing wherever possible.

“The money you put away is going to be collateral for the money you borrow,” he said, noting an unexpected shortfall in 2014. “We need to be fiscally conservative in terms of what we do with our free cash.”

The selectmen plan to meet with town departments next week to finalize the budget requests.
