First off, I would like to extend the Board’s thanks to our staff, employ- ees, committee members and volunteers who continue to serve the municipal- ity and make the Town run. This past year brought us the first ever referendum ballot budget vote which moved us away from the annual town meeting and provided the opportunity for over 1,200 voters to approve the FY2019 municipal budget. In comparison, more people voted on this budget than all of the voters combined that attend- ed the past ten town meetings. Very encouraging that 1,200 voters took part in this process verses the 60 or 70 that typically attended June town meetings. We continue to work towards implementing the vision of the Comprehensive Plan adopted in June of 2015. The Planning Board has accomplished much with still a lot on their plate and the Select Board has appointed a multi-interest committee to look at a future community center which was one of the long term recommendations from the 20/20 Comprehensive Plan Committee. This is a journey that the Town has embarked on that will impact what our community looks and feels like for many years to come. As always, the Board continues to work with the Town Administrator to im- prove municipal service with an eye towards developing more efficient ways of utilizing our limited resources. With many of the mandates and reduction in funding coming down from state government, this will always be a challenge. The Board’s priorities continue to focus on developing solutions that will meet and address each new challenge as it surfaces. We are committed to increas- ing the transparency of town government and will continue to take steps to improve communications with the public, our employees, departments and committee’s throughout the future. Respectfully submitted, Dennis Abbott Dennis Abbott, Chairman Waterboro Board of Selectmen DENNIS ABBOTT CHAIR, WATERBORO SELECTMEN 4 Town of Waterboro • Annual Report Town Administrator Report for July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 Fiscal year 17/18 was my fifth year as your Town Administrator. The year started on a somber business note when a fast moving fire destroyed Plummer’s Hardware, Asian Taste restaurant and our Family Dollar store on July 16, 2017. We were fortunate no one was hurt but the building was a total loss. After the fire, town staff and Selectmen started a discussion with our water district on possible locations for a new second water storage tower to improve our firefighting capabilities. In August our Public Works Director was changed to a full time position. Applications were col- lected, interviews were held and Dave Benton was the unanimous choice to replace Doug Foglio who wanted more time for his family business. I want to thank Doug for all the advice and help he gave me and the town during the many years he and his family have helped keep Waterboro’s roads safe for winter drivers.

    ANNUAL REPORT TOWN OF ALFRED, MAINE FOR FISCAL YEAR JULY 2018 – JUNE 2019 JOYCE WOOD Dedication Go ask Joyce. Let’s see if Joyce can help. Joyce can do that. Joyce would know. Those and other similar phrases have been used literally thousands of times over the past 22 years and with good reason. Joyce Wood is Alfred’s version of the famous Swiss Army knife. It is why we are honoring her in the 2018 -2019 Annual Town Report. When Joyce started here over two decades ago her job was primarily intended to be a clerical position, but rarely has a job evolved more in scope and scale. What began as “secretary to the Board of Selectmen” in reality, and unofficially, became Alfred Town Manager. The list of what she does is literally too long to include here and when the discussions began for life after Joyce we asked her to compile a list of her duties and responsibilities. Not surprisingly Joyce had already started one and it was at least four pages long, and she was being modest. The skills needed to juggle, organize, prioritize, direct and administrate are rare indeed. Combining them with an attitude of caring, gentleness, understanding, patience and compassion is truly remarkable. Joyce always had time for anyone that needed something, but did not know where to start. No matter how simple or complex she could help, and always did. Older residents, who encountered a troublesome situation that had nothing to do with town business, could always feel comfortable getting assistance. Newcomers who had no idea about anything were always welcomed and put at ease getting help from Joyce.

By dedicating this year’s publication to David, the Select Board have chosen to recognize his long track record of work for the Town and its citizens. For many, many years, David has been the “go-to-guy” when town officials have needed snow plowing, pot-hole filling, tree and brush clearing, transfer station monitoring, maintenance work and a host of other jobs. His eagerness to take on any job with a positive, can-do attitude has made David an excellent person to call on for just about any task. David was born in Malden, Massachusetts, November 4, 1964. His family moved to the Lyman area where David graduated Massabesic High School in June 1982. He remembers fondly his many teachers, especially Ms.

  • Annual Report Town of Alfred, Maine for Fiscal Year July 2017
    ANNUAL REPORT TOWN OF ALFRED, MAINE FOR FISCAL YEAR JULY 2017 – JUNE 2018 FOR FISCAL YEAR JULY 2017 – JUNE 2018 DEDICATION David Lord This year’s town report is dedicated to David Lord. The Alfred Fire and Rescue Department could not be more proud of this. David Lord became the Fire Chief in Alfred in 2003 and replaced Chief James Gerrish. The Fire Department at that time consisted of one full time employee and call force/volunteer firefighters. Today in 2018 we are a department of 47call force members, one full time employee and a Per-Diem (Part Time Employee) during the day. In the time between 2003 and 2018 the department has seen many changes. Many of them implemented and overseen by Chief David Lord. Joining in 1988 David Lord quickly became a well-respected and dedicated member of the Alfred Fire Department rising from Fire Fighter to Lieutenant in 1991, Captain in 1993, Assistant Chief in 1996 and to Fire Chief in 2003. David Lord currently is assigned to the Alfred Fire Department in his “favorite role, Fire Fighter”, in his words. We are extremely grateful to hold onto his expertise and dedication even longer into his retirement. Dedication is a word commonly associated with Chief Lord. Chief Lord has dedicated more hours to Alfred than can even be counted. We have tried to document these hours and they exceed well over the monetary value of his position. From fixing trucks, fixing our breathing apparatus, to his presence on the emergency scene Chief Lord was there. He was there in the Mother’s Day storm in 2005 filling sandbags alongside town’s people and firefighters alike.

    ANNUAL REPORT TOWN OF ALFRED, MAINE Brothers Beach Town Park FOR THE YEAR ENDING 2015 BROTHERS BEACH SHAKER POND The Town of Alfred voted at a Special Town Meeting on August 25, 2015 to approve spending $75,000.00 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the purchase of 33.6 acres of land on Route 202/Waterboro Road. This property lies alongside Shaker Pond with a small beach and park. The deed was passed to the Town of Alfred from the Brothers of Christian Instruction on October 9, 2015. Approved by the voters of Alfred, we feel that this is a great asset to the Town of Alfred for future use which will be overseen, if approved, by a Committee entitled Brothers Beach Town Park Committee and will be available for use by residents for picnicking, boating, swimming and hiking as well as winter use as ice permits. *********************************************************************************** The 2015 Town Report is dedicated to DAWN PRIDE Town of Alfred Selectwomen 1959 to 1967 Dawn Pride lived in Alfred for most of her life and raised her family here.
