Annual Town Report Prepared for the Citizens of 2010-2011 ~This Annual Town Report is Dedicated to~ Gilles E. Auger The son of French-Canadian immigrants, Gil has served the Town of Sanford for more than 50 years. First elected a town meeting member in 1963 while teaching French at Sanford High School, Gil helped SHS become the first accredited school in Maine. He then became Professor of French at Nasson College and was also elected a Trustee of the Sanford Sewage District. There he oversaw the upgrading of Sanford’s waste-water treatment plant to become the most state-of-the-art in the country. In 1974, Gil was appointed to Sanford's Board of Registration and was made chair in 1978. He became Registrar of Voters in 1981, a position he held until his retirement in 2007. In that time, Gil registered tens of thousands of voters and was an invaluable source of information as he could easily recall not only those he had registered, but their brothers, sisters, parents and grandparents. Voter education and outreach were very important to Gil as he personally registered more than 2,000 young people. In 2003, the Maine Secretary of State presented him with the Lorraine Fleury Award, Maine’s highest distinction for contributions to the election process for the many accomplishments during his 43 years of service. Many people do not realize that while many registrars discarded old registration forms, Gil painstakingly filed all of them in the Springvale Public Library on his own time, creating one of the most invaluable genealogical records in the town. When Sanford needed to upgrade to the new Enhanced-911 system, Gil was instrumental by locating the position of every residence and driveway in town with global positioning equipment, resulting in faster response times for emergency services. Gil also served as Town Meeting Moderator for 20 years (1970-1979, 1994-2003) and was the last elected to that post. He then became a founding member of the Sanford-Springvale Historical Society, spending countless hours helping visitors and creating the most complete photographic collection of residences in the town’s history, documenting every home built between the 1700s through 1910. In 2011, Gil and his wife Claire brought further honor to the town by becoming just the second and third inductees from York County in the Franco-American Hall of Fame. The Town of Sanford is forever grateful for Gil’s immense institutional knowledge he has so willingly shared, his selfless dedication and incalculable contributions. ~Thank You ~ Town of Sanford / Village of Springvale Annual Town Report INDEX Dedication Page Inside front cover Index Page Page 3 In Memoriam Page 4 Report from U.S. Senator Olympia Snowe Page 8 Report from Senator Jonathan Courtney Page 9 Report from Congresswoman Chellie Pingree Page 10 Report from Representative Andrea Boland Page 11 Report from Representative John Tuttle Page 12 Report from Representative Joan Nass Page 13 House of Representatives Contact Information Page 14 Town of Sanford Hours of Operation Page 15 Town Manager’s Report Page 16 Sanford Regional Economic Growth Council Page 17 Assessor’s Report Page 19 Human Resources Report Page 22 Planning & Community Development Page 23 Codes Enforcement Office Report Page 24 Airport Manager’s Report Page 25 Recreation & Public Property Report Page 26 Public Works Department / Engineering Report Page 28 Sanford Police Department Report Page 30 Sanford Fire Department Report Page 31 General Assistance Report Page 33 Voter Registration / Town Clerk / Tax Collector Report Page 34 Town Treasurer’s Report Page 63 Municipal Employees Salaries Page 68 Municipal Vendor List Page 72 Sanford School Superintendents Report Page 81 Sanford School Reports Page 83 School Department Employee Salaries Page 100 School Department Vendor List Page 107 10-11 Y.T.D Budget Report Page 121 Annual Financial Audit Page 131 Town Hall Office Changes Back Cover In memoriam of those who passed in 2011 ~ Sanford / Springvale ABBOTT, MARY T.
