    I see that LD 1356 does not require that the exact amount of the assessment be included in the call to meeting, but that only the budget item or amendment be specified, i.e., "gravel"  etc.   
    But if absentee members are given absentee ballots- don't they need to vote for a particular amount?  Therefore it would seem in the Call to Meeting the items would need to have $ to each item.

    Instead of looking at an LD, which is a bill brought to make changes in the statute, it is best to look at the statute itself, which is on the site as "Maine Statute." 

    The statute reads:

    "The notice must inform the owners of the planned meeting's agenda and specify all items to be voted on, including, but not limited to, all proposed budget items or amendments that will determine the amount of money to be paid by each owner pursuant to subsection 5."

    "The budget items that will determine" the amount of money is what is required. A reasonable estimate of what each budget item will cost is OK. If you get a different price later, and the meeting approves the budget items, then you can determine final assessments based on actual costs.
