  • Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities
    Journalism, Truth and Healthy Communities Healthy people, healthy businesses, healthy governments — healthy communities — are all best informed and engaged by independent community journalists who examine school budgets, expose scandals, question practices and politics, scrutinize environmental practices, who champion good and who dare to challenge fear and falsehoods. The work we do in our newsrooms enhances community life, it exposes mental and social health care problems and brings solutions forward, it relentlessly exposes overspending in our governments, and highlights the great people who live and work all around us. Communities are healthier, more engaged, more resilient and better able to thrive when informed by truth.

The 2013 MEPDES MS4 Permit expired on June 30, 2018 but was administratively continued. Guidance from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (Maine DEP) indicated that compliance may be maintained by implementing modified Permit Year 6 activities for “Permit Year 7”. CCSWCD submitted an email to Maine DEP clarifying the anticipated modifications to MCMs 1 and 2 on 8/5/2019. In addition, because of the statewide COVID-19 Stay at Home Order and social distancing restrictions, the DEP issued guidance in March and April 2020, and CCSWCD submitted a clarifying email to Maine DEP on 4/9/2020 describing modifications to remaining MCM 1 and 2 BMP action items. This report includes a summary of all four education & outreach plans required under MCM 1 of the 2013 MEPDES MS4 Permit including the Stormwater Public Awareness Plan, the Targeted BMP Adoption Plan, the Municipal Permit Awareness Plan, and the Enhanced Outreach Plan. This report also includes a summary of the regional public event (Urban Runoff) in fulfillment of MCM 2 of the 2013 MEPDES MS4 Permit. Additional voluntary (not required by the permit) outreach activities are also included.

  • 2006 ANNUAL REPORT in Memorium: Roger Vinton Snow
    Town of Falmouth 2006 ANNUAL REPORT In Memorium: Roger Vinton Snow Roger Snow’s life of 88 years touched many people in many walks of life, A stalwart Democrat, in local and statewide politics, Roger’s joie d’vivre and sincerity brought changes at both levels. Roger served two terms in the Maine Senate and one term in the Maine House of Representatives. He served two terms as a Falmouth Town Councilor where he was an early advocate of bike paths. In 1997, Roger was named Citizen of the Year. Among his passions were boating, bicycling, swimming, music, cars, and fl ying. Roger loved getting to know people, wherever and however they crossed his path. He championed history and the environment, and inspired others in their involvement. In his later years, Roger’s keen memory and good laugh continued to inspire. Though an amputee, he could be seen riding his bicycle along Route 88 and out and about at all the “important” social and political gatherings. Roger was born in Portland, attended Portland schools, Deerfi eld Academy, and graduated in 1940 from Williams College. Roger began his career as a journalist following World War II. He served as a reporter and editor, including aviation editor, with the Portland Press Herald and the Portland Evening Express. He continued his career in journalism as owner and pub- lisher of the Westbrook American (now American Journal) and later as president and director of the Abenaki Company, which owned two Maine radio stations. Later in his career, Snow served a director of labor education at the University of Maine and as director of public information and publications for the University of Southern Maine.

The reports include: a list of all procurements in 2018 exceeding $10,000 for which competitive procurement was waived; a list of contributions made in 2018 that exceed $1,000. Section 12023(2c) requires a description of changes to the written policies and procedures required by Section 12022. There were no changes to the policies and procedures required by this section in 2018, therefore, there is nothing to report. In 2018, the Maine Turnpike Authority made $99 million in payments to approximately 681 vendors. The vast majority of these payments, approximately $86 million, were for competitively bid products or services or were legally or legislatively required. The Authority sole-sourced approximately $12 million in 2018. Most of these products or services were either proprietary in nature or were procured under long- term contracts. As these long-term contracts expire, the Authority will seek competitive bids. Respectfully, Peter Mills Executive Director Enclosures as stated January 30, 2019 Honorable Troy D.
