RECAP TOWN COUNCIL MEETING – JULY 15TH
Last night’s Town Council
meeting was lengthy so this recap will probably be lengthy. I try to keep my opinion out of the recaps
but in this case I have to say that I was impressed and moved by the Public
Service Announcement shown during the meeting.
The Public Service Announcement was filmed using Lisbon students and
parents and showed how one bad decision can ruin the lives of so many. I encourage every one of all ages to review
this moving and powerful Public Service Announcement.
Under Council Orders,
Resolutions & Ordinances – The 2014-2015 Municipal Budget Resolution failed
again by a vote of 3-2. There was no
vote on the Economic Development Budget Resolution because it is part of the
Municipal Budget. The 2014-2015 Sewer
Department Budget passed by a vote of 5-0.
Mr. Dennis Douglass, Code Enforcement Officer, provided a detailed plan
for repairing the Public Works Garage.
This plan included floor plans and cost analysis and the Council voted
5-0 to move forward. The Town Office
Holiday and Library Holiday schedules were approved by a vote of 5-0. The Personnel Staffing Study was turned over
to the Town Manager for action. The FOAA
Waiver Request was denied by the Council by a vote of 5-0. The General Assistance Ordinance and
Appendices (1st Reading) was approved by a vote of 5-0. The Special Council Meeting and the Public
Hearing for the Qualified Energy Conversation Bond was tabled.
Under Other Business – The
ECD Director provided the Council with a presentation on the Career Center
& Healthy Main Street Grants. The
Town Manager stated she was very much impressed with the Moxie Festival and all
the hard work that when into the festival.
An additional Town Council Workshop is
scheduled for July 22, 2014 at 07:30 PM to have more discussions pertaining to
the budget.
Under Appointments – Fern
LaRochelle was reappointed to the Finance Committee for a three year term.
Under Executive Session –
Once the Council came out of Executive Session, they revealed that loans 4229
and 4522 were to be written off and loan 4467 was to go to collections.

Who are the loans to be written off?Who is going to collections? Why are my TAX DOLLARS always PISSED away & NO ONE is accountable??!! Public shame is a vehicle for collection> No MYSTERY PEOPLE FOR PUBLIC $$ Who is RESPONSIBLE approving these loans..THE STARR CHAMBER?? For one
can someone be transparent & responsible..My taxes keeps going up & spent like a drunken sailor{no office to the navy}
Anonymous - Loan dollars are furnished by the state and federal government. Loan dollars have absolutely nothing to do with your tax dollars directly. The reckless spending in this town is because Chairwoman Ward and Councilor Bickford refuse to make any significant cuts in a $1.3+ Police budget. The majority of the excessive spending if not all is in the Police Department. Call members of the Town Council and tell them to cut the Police Budget.
