2005 Town Report DEDICATION This 2005 Town of Mount Desert Annual Report is warmly dedicated to Mr. E.Farnham Butler who, at 96 years of age still shares his spirit and wealth of knowledge with the citizens of the Town Desert. Sally Merchant visited with Gladys and Farnham on January 18, 2006. During that visit, Farnham spoke of ways in which both he and Gladys have helped shape the greater Mount Desert community and contributed to our posture for the future. Frankly, Farnham’s elected official experience is nil. He attempted running for office when he ran for school board against John Manchester and lost by a large margin. Gladys, on the other hand, ran for school board and won. One of her most memorable contributions, according to Farnham, was that Gladys was instrumental in organizing local guidance services that later became the model for the state of Maine. Gladys tutored children & adults alike; the less fortunate as well as those whom we now call “gifted and talented.” While a resident of Southwest Harbor, Gladys says that the town of Southwest Harbor would not have become a member of the regional high school had she not urged some of her influential family members by teasing them with the opportunity to have Bun Parady for a basketball coach. As a Planning Board member, Farnham remembers developing the Town of Mount Desert’s first Land Use Zoning Ordinance. Farnham is proud to have been at the special town meeting in 2005 when land in the Ripples Pond tract was given to the Island Housing Trust for workforce housing. Farnham says it takes “20 years to get something done” in the Town of Mount Desert. As another example, it took 20 years for the high school to get through. Farnham cites that John Butler was a baby when Dean Shibles was on the committee to form a regional high school and that John was 20 years old at the Mount Desert Island Regional High School’s dedication. A long standing love of and a firm dedication to the Town of Mount Desert are evident in Farnham’s strength of character. He says he can’t read anymore so he thinks. He thinks about days when Nelson Rockefeller tried to boost commerce on the island by suggesting that cars being imported into the United States come directly up the Sound and onto the land through Hall Quarry. When that concept failed, Mr. Rockefeller assisted the Jackson Laboratory with $25,000 in start-up money. The Lab today employs over 1000, many of whom are Mount Desert residents. Carlo Ninfi, in Farnham’s estimation, was a town leader who was simply a moving force for many, many years. And Farnham thinks that revising the fiscal year is a good idea in that it is directly tied to the school’s fiscal year. Gladys nods in agreement to this just as I ask Farnham about what his advice is to all of us. He says” work hard. Work hard.” Thank you, Farnham & Gladys 2 3 Table of Contents Table of Contents ..................................................................................................................... 4 OFFICE HOURS ...................................................................................................................... 6 ELECTED OFFICERS .............................................................................................................. 9 APPOINTED OFFICERS ......................................................................................................... 9 POLICE DEPARTMENT ........................................................................................................ 10 FIRE DEPARTMENT ............................................................................................................. 10 PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT .......................................................................................... 11 TOWN OFFICE & PARKS ...................................................................................................... 11 HARBOR MASTERS .............................................................................................................. 11 SHELLFISH WARDENS ........................................................................................................ 11 BOARDS APPOINTED BY THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN .................................................. 12 COMMITTEES ....................................................................................................................... 13 BOARD OF SELECTMEN CHAIRMAN’S REPORT............................................................... 15 TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT .............................................................................................. 17 MOUNT DESERT PLANNING BOARD .................................................................................. 19 2005 OUTSTANDING TAXES ............................................................................................... 20 12/31/2005 SUMMARY OF UNCOLLECTED TAXES ........................................................... 21 TRIAL BALANCE -

  • Intelligent Transportation in Acadia National Park
    INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION IN ACADIA NATIONAL PARK Determining the feasibility of smart systems to reduce traffic congestion An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Angela Calvi Colin Maki Mingqi Shuai Jackson Peters Daniel Wivagg Date: July 28, 2017 Approved: ______________________________________ Professor Frederick Bianchi, Advisor This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students. Submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. i Abstract The goal of this project was to assess the feasibility of implementing an intelligent transportation system (ITS) in Acadia National Park. To this end, the features of an ITS were researched and discussed. The components of Acadia’s previous ITS were recorded and their effects evaluated. New technologies to implement, replace, or upgrade the existing ITS were researched and the companies providing these technologies were contacted and questioned for specifications regarding their devices. From this research, three sensor systems were identified as possibilities. These sensors were magnetometers, induction loops, and cameras. Furthermore, three methods of information dissemination were identified as useful to travelers. Those methods were dynamic message signs, websites, and mobile applications. The logistics of implementing these systems were researched and documented. A cost analysis was created for each system. The TELOS model of feasibility was then used to compare the strengths of each sensor in five categories: Technical, Economic, Legal, Operational and Schedule. Based on the results of the TELOS and cost analyses, the sensors were ranked in terms of feasibility; magnetometers were found to be the most feasible, followed by induction loop sensors and then camera-based systems.
