Park Ordinance Unveiled

(Lamoine) — Lamoine’s Conservation Commission has drafted a proposed ordinance regulating activities at the town’s two parks (Lamoine Beach and Bloomfield Park), and sent it to the Planning Board. The proposed ordinance would re-establish a 5-member parks commission. Town meeting did away with the Parks Commission many years ago. At one time the parks commissioners were elected officials.

The new ordinance would empower the commission to suggest rules and hours of operation to the Selectmen, and to issue permits for gatherings greater than 25-people to use the park. It’s a 2-page document that will receive review in April.
