Dog Licenses are due January 1st each year, and
during the year when a new dog is acquired or when a puppy reaches 6-months of
age. A valid Maine Rabies Certificate,
and, if applicable, a spaying or neutering certificate are required.
Tax Exemptions – All persons claiming full or partial
exemption from property tax must file a written certificate with the Lamoine
Board of Assessors on or before April 1, 2008.
Tractors and automobiles not excised on or before April 1 are subject to
personal property tax. Homestead exemptions renew automatically, but
new exemption requests are due by April 1, 2009.
Automobile Registrations – Excise tax must be paid
at the town hall before registration. The town office staff can re-register
most vehicles, but vehicles requiring a new license plate must complete the
registration process with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles. To re-register, you must provide proof of
insurance and the vehicle’s mileage.
Boats – All watercraft registrations expire in

boats. Any boat moored at Lamoine State Park must obtain a mooring permit
from the Harbor Master. Applications and
renewals may be obtained at the Town Hall.

General
Assistance
– The town’s general assistance program is open to all persons on an income
eligible basis. Applications may be
picked up and filed at the town office during regular business hours.
Building Permits – The Lamoine Building & Land Use
Ordinance and State Plumbing Code provide for fines of up to $100 per day for
work started prior to obtaining necessary permits. If you are considering projects and you have
any doubt as to whether a permit is necessary, call the Code

Year – Lamoine’s
fiscal year runs from July 1 to June 30.
Monies requested during the April 8, 2009 town meeting will cover the

Tax Bills – These are mailed once the assessors complete the
tax commitment, generally in August. Bills are now due in two payments on
October 31st and February 28th. Interest on each half
accumulates beginning the day after the due date. If you have purchased property before April
1, and you do not receive a tax bill, please contact the Tax Collector or Board
of Assessors.
Appointed Positions – The Board of Selectmen
appoints most of the positions listed on the previous pages. If you are interested in serving in any of
these capacities, please contact a Selectman, the Town Clerk or Administrative
Assistant.

The 2008
Board of Selectmen (from left) Kermit Theall, Brett Jones, Richard Fennelly Jr., S. Josephine Cooper &
Cynthia Donaldson

2008
has proven to be a year full of challenges and accomplishment. The effects of the national economy have
trickled down to the local government level and will present fiscal challenges
for the coming year as revenues from non property tax sources are expected to
drop off. Thankfully, the town is in
strong financial shape and we should be able to continue to provide essential
services without much of an impact on the property tax rate.
In
2008 we finished two major projects that will enhance our community for decades
to come. Our thanks to the many people
who gave their time and energy to the Veterans Memorial that was completed in
September 2008. Special thanks go to Jay
Fowler and Kathleen DeFusco who worked tirelessly on the project. The memorial is both a beautiful and fitting
tribute to those who served our nation and continue to do so.
The
other major project was a renovation of the interior of the town hall. With the goal of enhancing security and
efficiency, the town office staff came up with a plan that reconfigured the
offices to accomplish the goals. The
result came out just as planned, on time, and under budget. A new hardwood type floor covers the 125-year
old softwood floor that was starting to fall apart. The final touches on the
new salt/sand shed started in 2007 were completed in 2008
We
have two major changes in town staff this year.
Our transfer station attendant Allen
Sternfield retired at the end of June after nearly 15-years on the
job. We hired Bill Fennelly as his replacement and the facility is operating
smoothly. At the town office, Assistant
Clerk/Tax Collector Kathleen DeFusco
resigned at the end of July, after 5 ½ years on the job. We’ve hired Diane Carter as her replacement.
We’ve been fortunate to be able to replace very dedicated workers with
equally dedicated people.
The
other town office staff celebrated milestones in 2008. Administrative Assistant Stu Marckoon completed his 15th year of service and Town
Clerk/Tax Collector Jennifer Kovacs became
a certified Town Clerk and finished her 5th year on the job.
Animal
Control Officer Harry Lounder
retired at the end of his appointment in June and Michael Arsenault has stepped in as the full ACO. In addition to his dog complaint duties, Mike
also trapped beavers that had been causing havoc at a culvert on Needles Eye Road.
Deputy
Harbor Master Brian Corrigan
resigned to take a job out of state. Kevin Murphy has stepped in to take his
place. A new sticker program was
instituted by the Harbor Masters. And we lost our school superintendent Jim Boothby who worked very closely with town
office staff on numerous issues when he took a job as Bucksport’s
Superintendent.
During
the year former Selectman Chris Tadema-Wielandt resigned to take a position with
the Planning Board and voters elected Kermit
Theall in December to finish out his term that ends at town meeting 2010.
It
took three votes to pass the 2008/09 school budget, and while some might view
that as a controversial time, we’re struck by how many people are engaged in
the local political process. The budget
was passed and ratified before school opened in the fall. The school department and town office staff
deserve a huge amount of credit for keeping the town meeting/validation referendum
efforts orderly. The school department
also deserves great praise for working around a major renovation effort at the
school which was nearly done as of the end of the year.
The
other major change in town is school consolidation. We’re proud that, of the 13 towns that voted
on the new Regional School Unit, Lamoine had the highest turnout percentage and
cast the most votes in favor of the plan – exceeding even the City of Ellsworth. We look forward to seeing how this new
partnership and school governance plan will come together.
During
2008 the Board was presented with a petition asking for a referendum vote on an
ordinance that would require all town meetings be held by referendum. Based on legal advise, the board rejected the
referendum on the basis of serious flaws with the proposed ordinance, and
invited petitioners to discuss the proposed idea. To date none of the petitioners have asked to
meet with the Board in regard to that matter.
We
were faced with a steep increase in paving costs and worked out a plan with the
paving contractor to put a slightly thinner coat on Walker Road & Birchlawn
Drive to stay within budget. The Board also completed work on a right-of-way
swap with Doug Gott & Sons which now protects the capped landfill in return
for the right of the company to access their gravel pit through a traditionally
used entrance. Another right-of-way agreement with the Branch family has
allowed for a new entrance road to be built into Bloomfield Park,
improving the road and discouraging unauthorized use of the area. A contract to build a cell-phone tower at the
former landfill site fell through at the last minute, believed to be a victim
of the poor economy, but late word in early 2009 is that the project may be
revived.

TO THE RESIDENTS OF LAMOINE, MAINE
GREETINGS,
I am
please to provide you with a summary of the events our Sheriff’s Department was
involved with in your town in 2008.
Although most incidents were as a result of citizens from your town
calling for assistance or to report a crime, some, such as the service of
subpoenas, and protection orders were initiated by our office. Also remember this summary only reports those
incidents we were involved in and does not include any activity by the Maine
State Police.

(Lamoine firefighters assist at scene of the Church of Life & Praise fire in Ellsworth in
July)
The
men and women of the Lamoine Volunteer Fire Department responded to 57 calls
for assistance during 2008 with well trained crews and equipment that performed
as expected. While there were no major
fire losses in town this year, Hancock
County suffered some
major fires to which our assistance was requested. Our department joined closely with Ellsworth
in extinguishing a fire in July at the Church
of Life and Praise next to Ellsworth High School. Ten days later we sent firefighters to Northeast Harbor to help stop the spread of a
major fire in that village’s downtown.
Here
at home we were most often called to road problems – be it motor vehicle
accidents, flooding, or trees falling across the road. Those calls made up more than half of the
in-town responses. Our cadre of
volunteers grew slightly this year with some new community members joining the
department. Three firefighters, Brett
Jones, Peter Goebel and Michael Jordan,
completed their Firefighter II training, giving us a very high percentage of
fully trained firefighters.
The
department upgraded the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA’s or airpacks)
this year by purchasing new, higher capacity and lighter weight units. Instead of roughly 20-minutes inside a smoky
atmosphere, firefighters can spend about twice as long without having to change
air tanks. The Department paid $30,000
through privately raised funds for the upgrade.
In late 2007 the department also spent approximately $17,000 to
significantly upgrade its rescue tools.
We appreciate all the public support.
In
the coming year, we are in hopes to upgrade the fleet by purchasing a new brush
truck. The existing truck is
approximately 23-years old, and was purchased from federal government
surplus. A new truck would replace that
truck and a 33-year old pumper truck, both of which have some serious
maintenance issues. We’re pleased the
budget committee has recommended borrowing to purchase a new truck and the
Department is prepared to contribute $20,000 toward the purchase.
Respectfully Submitted,
George “Skip” Smith, Fire Chief
Though the economy has
significantly slowed development of properties, your Planning Board still had a
very busy year in 2008. The Board’s work
included scrutiny of each application received and development of several
ordinance changes to be presented to the town meeting in April.
Subdivisions
– The Board denied an application for a subdivision by Sno Drum LLC proposed
for Shore Road
at the intersection with Lamoine
Beach Road after determining that the entrance
onto the public road did not meet the ordinance provisions.
The Board approved a 9-lot
subdivision (Raccoon Hollow) proposed by Rebecca Joy that extends from the Salt
Water Farm subdivision on Pasture
Way. The
original plan had to be reconfigured due to the presence of a bald eagle nest.
The Board approved an 11-lot
subdivision (Marlboro Woods II) proposed by Timothy Ring that extends the
Marlboro Woods subdivision on Lydia’s
Lane
The Board denied an 11-lot
subdivision (Partridge Cove Estates) proposed by Wayne Wright because the road
as proposed did not meet the requirements of the Building and Land Use
Ordinance. After receiving a hardship
variance from the Board of Appeals, the Board then approved the subdivision.
Lamoine State Park
– A Site Plan Review and Shoreland Zoning Application from the State of Maine for erection of a
group use pavilion and RV septage dumping station was denied by the Planning
Board in July. No appeal was filed.
Home Occupations – The Board approved the following home occupation applications:
=
John & Lynne
Karst – Seafood sales stand
=
Kelli Willard –
Day Care
=
William Fennelly
– Bait Shop
Gravel Pit Renewals – The Board visited numerous gravel pits seeking renewal this year,
including pits owned by Harold MacQuinn, Inc., RF Jordan & Sons, John W.
Goodwin Jr., and Michael Keene.
Ordinances –
The Board is proposing changes to the Gravel Extraction Ordinance clarifying
the process used to process permit applications. Changes to the Building and Land Use
Ordinance are being proposed to better define road needs in regard to roads and
public street entrances. A minor change
to the Site Plan Review Ordinance is proposed.
We hope that you ask questions about the proposed changes at the meetings
planned prior to the town meeting.
Membership –
We welcome former Selectman Chris Tadema-Wielandt
and the Reverend John Holt to the
board, joining Michael Garrett, Jim Gallagher, and alternates Melody Havey and Michael
Jordan.
Gordon Donaldson, Chair
After
a year with no action requested of the Board of Appeals in 2007, the past year
has been relatively busy.
In
February, the Board held an organizational meeting, selecting Griff Fenton as chair, Nick Pappas as vice-chair,
and asking Administrative Assistant Stu Marckoon to serve as secretary. The Board dealt with two appeals during the
year.
Sharkey vs. Board of Selectmen - The Board received an appeal from Robert Sharkey
asking that it review the denial of a petition submitted to the Board of
Selectmen requesting a special town meeting be called to vote on an ordinance
requiring all town meeting matters be decided by referendum. The Board advised that it did not have
jurisdiction in this matter.
Wright vs. Planning Board (variance) - The Board received an appeal from Wayne Wright asking for
a hardship variance on the width of a proposed subdivision road (see Planning
Board Report). The Army Corps of
Engineers and the Department of Environmental Protection ordered that the road
be narrower (20-feet) than required in the Building and Land Use Ordinance
(24-feet) in order to preserve wetland areas.
The Board found the federal and state requirements imposed a hardship
that would render land beyond the wetland area unusable and granted the
variance.
Membership
on the Board of appeals included James Crotteau, Jay Fowler, John Wuorinen,
Hancock “Griff” Fenton, Nicholas Pappas, and alternates Reginald McDevitt and
Merle Bragdon.
Respectfully Submitted,
Griff Fenton, Chair
The
Lamoine Cable TV Committee made some major improvements to the infrastructure
of the televising equipment at the town hall in 2008 with more equipment due in
2009. The renovations at the town hall
created a technology center room. This
will greatly aid equipment operators televising live meetings.
The
TV committee also made sure that all the various school budget and
consolidation meetings were recorded and televised for cable subscribers. All Selectmen, Planning Board, Budget
Committee, and Appeals Board meetings, and most Conservation Commission
Meetings were televised live and recorded for replay.
Active
members of the committee include Merle Bragdon, Henry Ashmore, Stu Marckoon,
Nicholas Pappas, and Patty Heath with great help from Selectman Brett Jones

Though
the economy affected sales greatly in 2008, building activity did not differ
all that much from 2007. The Code
Enforcement Office issued 57 Building and Shoreland Zoning permits and 50
plumbing permits. That’s one less
building permit and 7 more plumbing permits than 2007.

During
2008 the Code Enforcement Office took several enforcement actions, including:
8 Resolved a situation off Mud Creek Road where two camps had been
built without a permit.
8 Assisted the Selectmen in implementing a consent
agreement with Bradford Towing on Jordan
River Road in regard to used vehicle sales display
setback
8 Followed up on removal of a dangerous building on Berry Cove Road –
the building was successfully razed as per order
8 Investigated a complaint that a septic system was
encroaching on a well head off Buttermilk
Road and determined it was a civil matter between
abutting landowners
8 Issued a notice of violation to a subdivision
developer after a lot was allegedly clear cut in the Shoreland Zone.
8 Investigated a complaint of an automobile graveyard
law violation on Douglas Highway
and determined there was not a violation.
Michael Jordan continues to serve as the Deputy Code Enforcement
Officer and Deputy Local Plumbing Inspector, having become certified as an LPI
during 2008.
The
Code Enforcement Office is open on Tuesdays from 10AM to Noon and by appointment.

Completion
of approved projects was the goal of the Parks Commission in 2008.
Lamoine Beach - The handicap access
signs and stalls were added to the parking lot and the wooded area by the
bathroom was cleared to make it more presentable. In the spring, we had our
annual cleanup day in which we got the Park back into shape from the long
winter. This year new grills and more functional trash can tops will be
installed.
Bloomfield Park - We had our annual
cleanup day in the spring. Throughout the summer and fall the woods clearing
effort continued. We plan to finish the clearing this Fall. A small
seasonal shore trail to the left of the beach was reclaimed and plans to do the
same on the right side will occur this summer. Also, a loop trail will be
blazed on the 2 acres of park property to the left of the beach. Look for
a few picnic tables in the woods by the shore as well. The road project, which
consisted of grading the steep entrance and the old road, and creation of a new
section of road and a small parking area, was completed in December. We are
excited that the vision for this area is starting to take shape!
Marlboro Beach - Nature is still at work!
Although
we did not make our deadline in installing the kiosks at Lamoine
Beach and Bloomfield Park
in 2008, they will be completed in 2009. We believe that the final product will
be worth the wait and hope you feel the same.
In
2008 we co hosted the 3rd annual Flattop 5K Road Race and Kids Fun Run. 130
runners participated. Planning is underway for the 4th annual to be held March
28th. This has become a favorite for local runners. We encourage everyone to
join us to pay tribute to Bill Pinkham and support the Sumner Memorial High
School Runner Scholarship Fund and the Lamoine Parks Commission. Walkers are
welcome!
In
closing, we continue to believe we are fortunate as a community to possess
these three areas to enjoy and will continue our focus and commitment to
continually look at ways to maintain them in a manner to protect and preserve
them, as well as make them more enjoyable and safe to use by the residents of
Lamoine. We meet the third Tuesday of the month and welcome suggestions and
ideas regarding these areas. Thank you for your support in 2008.

The
year was relatively kind to Lamoine’s Roads, but the economy was not. Most of the maintenance issues involved
shoulder damage from heavy rains and clogged up culverts. Help from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency allowed damage to roads in 2007 to be fixed, and
money appropriated locally was able to be carried forward in the road fund,
which held a healthy balance at the end of the fiscal year.
The
major work included final completion of the Salt/Sand building. Jay Fowler & Sons did a bang up job, and
the building has proven to be very functional and attractive. By storing the salt and sand under cover, our
plow contractor’s efforts have been more effective and efficient, and the
environment has been spared the harm of salt contamination.
The
town paved a portion of Walker
Road, Birchlawn
Drive and South Birchlawn Drive in the summer of
2008. We had to do some negotiating due
to a major increase in the price of asphalt, and accomplished the paving goal
by putting down a slightly thinner coat of mix.
There was even a little bit left over to smooth up a small section of Buttermilk Road,
which is on the paving list for 2009.
Speaking
of the coming year, we also hope to do some tree trimming, especially on Shore
Road, add a 2nd culvert to a spot on Needles Eye Road that floods
during heavy rain storms, and to properly shape shoulders and replace driveway
culverts as needed on other roads. The
Selectmen are in the process of talking about some contract changes with the
Snow Plowing contractor which helps ensure fair payment during tough weather or
economics that drive the price of fuel to extraordinary levels.
Thanks,
too, goes to the members of the Lamoine Volunteer fire department who were
called numerous times in the past year to remove trees that fell on both state
and local roads.

A
major change took place at Lamoine’s Transfer Station in 2008. Allen Sternfield, the only attendant the town
ever had at the facility, retired. Allen
served nearly 15-years as the transfer station manager, and the Board of Selectmen
hired Bill Fennelly, a former fill-in attendant to take his place.
The
amount of trash Lamoine residents threw out actually decreased slightly in 2008
– falling under 600-tons for only the second time since 2000. The Penobscot Energy Recovery Company
facility incinerated 599.59 tons of trash.
We’d like to think that more recycling led to the reduction in trash
being incinerated, and there did seem to be some pickup in the recycling rate. The 2008 figures are not fully in yet, but
through July, Lamoine had sent 4-more tons to be recycled than in 2007. The 2007 adjusted recycling rate for Lamoine
was 46.84% according to the State Planning Office. That’s up from 35.1% in 2006, and represents
the 2nd best recycling year ever in town.
Lamoine
residents participated in a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) cleanup sponsored
by the MDI League of Towns and the Acadia Disposal District. The participants sent 4-times as much
hazardous waste for proper disposal, and a whopping 10-times as much Universal
Waste (TV’s, monitors, fluorescent bulbs) to the cleanup.
The
Adopt-A-Road program was a big success this year as well, with volunteers
cleaning up roadside trash, sometimes in great quantities. Our thanks to Georgia Munsell for heading up
that effort.

The Lamoine Conservation Commission
meets the second Wednesday of each month at the Town Hall and provides
education about, and a forum to promote conservation in Lamoine. The Commission sets aside part of every
meeting to hear the concerns of those attending.
The Commission tries to have
educational speakers several times a year.
This year we hosted William Fennelly, the new manager at the Lamoine
Transfer station, who is eager to work with others to do recycling work with
schoolchildren. Anyone interested in pursuing this should contact Bill or Nancy
Pochan of the Recycling Subcommittee.
Bethany Atkins of the Beginning with Habitat program presented the Town
with a new set of habitat maps and talked of the importance of the relatively
large habitat blocks that Lamoine enjoys and the importance of leaving them
intact and creating wildlife corridors between them.
Dr. Jane Disney and Dr. George
Kidder spoke in the summer about the eelgrass restoration project in Frenchman Bay.
Eelgrass is an important nursery for lobsters and other valuable
resources and was once wide-spread throughout Frenchman
Bay, but is now found only in certain
protected areas, such as the Jordan River.
This is another project that might involve students from Lamoine and which
requires volunteers.
The Conservation Commission held two
stargazing events, hosted by Lamoine-resident Linda Penkalski, to enjoy the
night sky. Around the country, more and
more areas are so swamped with light that the night sky is greatly
diminished. Acadia
National Park is said to be the only
national park east of the Mississippi
from which you can see the Milky Way. An effort to educate people about proper
lighting to minimize light diffusion is underway all around Frenchman Bay. The event was well-received and is likely to
be repeated annually.
The GET WET! water testing program continues in the Lamoine Consolidated School
in 2008-2009, and is also being used elsewhere in Maine.
Bob Pulver and Carol Korty continue to spearhead this successful effort,
which both introduces students to hands-on science and slowly builds a database
of water quality in Lamoine. The Commission’s drinking water advocacy continued
with recommendation of a proposed Aquifer Protection Overlay Zone Ordinance,
which the Planning Board will consider in 2009.
Thanks to the
efforts of Georgia Munsell, the annual roadside clean-up has been replaced by
the Adopt-A-Highway program. Many
families have agreed to regularly patrol a section of the roads in town.
A new project for the Commission is
preparation of an Open Space Inventory of the Town, scheduled for presentation
to the Select Board prior to the end of 2009.
The Conservation Commission made its
second presentation of the Lamoine Conservation Award at the Town Meeting in
April, 2008. This year the award went posthumously to Ellis (Sam) Holt, who was
instrumental in mobilizing community awareness of drinking water issues and
obtaining the first scientific work on Lamoine’s aquifer. In addition, the Conservation Commission
advocates each year for a modest amount of money to be placed in a Land
Conservation Reserve Fund for future projects.
The Conservation Commission thanked
Donna Theall for her steady participation on the Commission and welcomed David
Schick as a new member. Current Conservation Commission members are Fred
Stocking, (Chair), Lynda Tadema-Wielandt,
Bob Pulver, Carol Korty and David Schick (Secretary), with Annie Crisafulli and Nancy Pochan, alternates. All are welcome to attend and participate.

Credit
for creating the Lamoine Veterans Memorial goes to a large group of dedicated
volunteers. The idea started several
years ago with Reggie McDevitt as the town explored its long term needs. Reggie kept pressing the matter and 2008
was the year it all came together.
The
Veterans Memorial Committee formed by the Selectmen in 2006 designed a
beautiful monument and came up with numerous fundraising plans to pay for
it.

The committee is most
grateful to member Jay Fowler who donated his time and his company’s efforts
for the site work on the north side of the Lamoine Town Hall. In late August, the proper holes were dug,
and the pieces of the monument were put in place and the town was buzzing.

Resident Jay Barnes set a
number of perennials in place. Bricks
inscribed with names of veterans and folks who donated to the cause were laid
on the walkway to the stone itself.
Flag poles to display the American, Maine and POW/MIA flag were installed, and
by September 19th, the project was ready to be unveiled to the
public. And what a glorious time it
was. Scores of people were bused to
the town hall from the school. World

keynote address. The VFW post (above)
provided a color guard complete with a rifle salute. The Lamoine School
band played patriotic selections, while back at the school members of the
committee held a reception for any and all.
It went off without a hitch.
The committee has continued to raise funds even after the construction
and dedication. Of the $12,000
borrowed from the town’s capital improvements fund, it’s hoped that less than
$4,000 will be owed by the end of FY 09, and that town meeting will forgive
the outstanding balance.

This
past year has been one of opportunity and accomplishment in Lamoine, and I’m
very proud to live and work in this community.
Our citizens are involved, engaged, passionate, and proud. Your town government is not extravagant, but
your elected officials have made sure that the tools and personnel are in place
to carry out the functions that are required.
The
challenges we’ve faced this year will continue to mount as the economy remains
relatively weak nationally. State funds
for education and for portions of our local government operation are drying
up. That means either some services will
have to be reduced, fees or property taxes must increase, or some creative ways
must be found to accomplish the same tasks more efficiently. Even small steps are paying off – for
example, we changed telephone service providers, cutting the monthly bill at
the town hall (and soon the fire station) in half. We negotiated with a paving contractor to put
down a little thinner coat of paving this summer to stretch the material to
cover what was intended to be paved after the price rose sharply. And instead of completely replacing a balky
computer in the Clerk’s office, we installed more memory, and for $40 instead
of $500 we have essentially a new computer.
We
also accomplished some major projects this summer. The Veterans’ Memorial, which sits right
outside my window, is a beautiful addition to the town hall property. The renovation inside the town hall has
allowed the operation to transact business much more efficiently and has
enhanced the security of the staff and the assets of the town.
But
it’s people who make it all work. Kathy
DeFusco resigned this summer, and while I miss the day to day with her,
she’s still in on a regular basis to work with the Veterans’ Memorial Committee
and to keep me in my place. Her
replacement, Diane Carter has proven to be a delightful addition to the
staff and a quick study. Jennifer Kovacs enters her 6th
year with us and was certified by the Maine Town
and City Clerk’s Association this year.
You couldn’t ask for a nicer and more knowledgeable co-worker. Thanks too go to the entire Board of
Selectmen for the support on the job.
My
family continues to grow. Our older
daughter, Sarah, is off to college in Waterville,
making the Dean’s List and excelling at Intercollegiate Volleyball. Our younger daughter, Rebecca, is in the
midst of her sophomore year at Ellsworth
High School. My wife and I have enjoyed being sports
officials (baseball, basketball, cheering) in our spare time, while both
reaching the half-century mark during 2008.
We thank-you for being good neighbors and supportive friends.

The
Town of Lamoine
found itself in a relatively strong financial condition at the end of fiscal
year 2008 (June 30, 2008), though roughly a quarter million dollars less was in
the bank than the year before. The town
continues to have a positive cash flow and has met all its expense
obligations. There are some warning
signs for FY 09 and beyond – all of them beyond the control of the town.
While
the value of invested money was greatly eroded in 2008, a conservative
investment approach by the town in federally backed securities saw no
degradation in the base value of those investments. Interest income, though, will fall for fiscal
year 2009, and is unlikely to meet the budget expectation. Two factors come into play – the overall
economy has seen interest earning rates fall significantly, and the changeover
to a twice per year property tax due date means less money is coming in during
October, and thus is not earning interest in the town’s investment accounts for
4-months.
Other
revenues are also experiencing some backpedaling. Excise taxes are unlikely to meet budget
expectations thanks to a serious slowdown in new vehicle sales. The state is likely to vote on a bill that,
if passed, would greatly alter excise tax rates on newer vehicles. The excise taxes collected in FY 2008 were
just under projection (0.058%), and we’re seeing faster erosion in excise
revenues during FY 2009. Permit income
from building and other types of code enforcement fees is also expected to drop
off a bit.
On
the expense side, the town did OK in FY 2008.
Animal control exceeded its budget due to a rabies outbreak and special
shots and training needed for that.
School expenses were barely within adjusted budget levels. Excluding
education, the town spent $84,000 less than what was budgeted, while generating
about $20,000 more in revenue that was budgeted, for a net positive impact on
the fund balances of over $100,000.
The
town did not foreclose on any property due to unpaid taxes. In fact, the number of foreclosure notices
sent by the town was down a bit in FY 2008.
The only bond (excluding the school renovation bond) outstanding at the
end of FY 08 was for a fire truck and that was retired in early August.
Municipalities
depend on the State of Maine
for part of the revenue stream, and Governor John Baldacci has ordered across
the board 10% funding cuts which will greatly affect education funding. It remains to be seen how school
consolidation will impact expenses and revenues.
