Lisbon - On December 15, 2009 eleven elected officials were sworn into office by Town Clerk, Twila Lycette, at the Lisbon Town Office. Council at Large, Michael Bowie; Council District 2, Lori Pomelow; Council District 1, Mark Lunt. New School Committee Members, Three year term, Kathy Yergin and Pete Reed; and One year team, George Caron. Budget Advisory Board District 1, Richard Graham; Budget Advisory Board District 2, Dorothy Fitzgerald; Budget Advisory Board District At Large, Donald Fellows. Water Commission, Stan Doughty; Water Commission (Appointed to fill vacancy), Ken Wells.

“I am thankful for being elected to the School Board, shared Kathi Yergin. "Due to budget cuts, the School Committee will be to working very hard to keep staff and programs up and running in the schools. I am fortunate to be working with a Superintendent who's beliefs are the same as mine. I hope to work with other committees in the Town of Lisbon in an effort to better understand the issues of the Town as a whole. My concern is for the current students of Lisbon, and the future of students, who will someday attend the Lisbon School System.”
