Annual Town Report Prepared for the Citizens Of Sanford/Springvale, Maine 2008-2009 This Annual Town Report is Dedicated to H. Allen Mapes For over forty years, H. Allen Mapes has demonstrated a deep pride in the communities of Sanford and Springvale. A man of leadership and character, Allen has been an organizer and director of many organizations in the Sanford-Springvale area. When the Goodall mills closed in the early 50’s, Allen helped organize the Sanford- Springvale Chamber of Commerce and was a member of a group that went to NYC to sell Sanford “The town that refused to die”. This group was a feature article in Life Magazine. Allen was elected President of the Chamber of Commerce at age 27. He was the youngest Chamber President in the country. The Jaycees honored Allen seven years later with The Distinguished Service Award given to the three most outstanding executives in the state. In the 1990,’s Allen formed the Springvale Redevelopment Corporation and worked diligently to revitalize the core campus of the former Nasson College where he had been trustee for 20 years. Other local organizations that have benefited from Allen’s involvement are Kiwanis Club, United Way, Little League (a team for 25 years), YMCA Board, SHS Athletic Boosters, Goodall Hospital Board, Sweetser, and York County Red Cross. He continues to be a generous supporter of youth sports and was instrumental in the rebuilding of Goodall Park. A crowning achievement was Allen’s recognition as the first Mary Rines Thompson award winner from the Channel 6 Who Care agency of distinction in 2000. His accomplishments are many but if asked Allen would probably say he is proudest of realizing his dream to bring a New England Collegiate Baseball League team to Goodall Park. The Sanford Mainers NECBL team was born in 2002. Allen Mapes has used his time and talents to improve the Sanford-Springvale communities, but as the 6 Who Care judges noted; ‘he has done it quietly.’ 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 6 Report from U.S. Senator Susan Collins Page 8 Report from Senator Jonathan Courtney Page 10 Report from Congresswoman Chellie Pingree Page 11 Report from Representative Andrea Boland Page 12 Report from Representative John Tuttle Page 13 Report from Representative Joan Nass Page 14 Town of Sanford Hours of Operation Page 15 House of Representatives Contact Information Page 16 Town Council Chair’s Report Page 18 Town Manager’s Report Page 19 Economic Development Report Page 20 Assessor’s Report Page 21 Planning & Community Development Page 25 Codes Enforcement Office Report Page 26 Airport Manager’s Report Page 27 Recreation & Public Property Report Page 28 Public Works Department / Engineering Report Page 29 Sanford Police Department Report Page 32 Sanford Fire Department Report Page 33 General Assistance Report Page 34 Voter Registration / Town Clerk / Tax Collector Report Page 31 Town Treasurer’s Report Page 82 Municipal Employees Salaries Page 88 Municipal Vendor List Page 90 Sanford School Superintendents Report Page 100 Sanford School Reports Page 102 School Department Employee Salaries Page 117 School Department Vendor List Page 126 06-07 Y.T.D Budget Report (budget transfers) Page 141 Annual Financial Audit Page 151 Harvest Daze & Operation Pumpkin Drop Back Cover In Memoriam of those who passed in 2009 Sanford/Springvale ACHENBACH, SEAN P.

ANNUAL REPORT TO THE TOWN OF SANFORD~VILLAGE OF SPRINGVALE Message from Senator Jon Courtney Dear Friends and Neighbors: Thank you for the opportunity to represent the people of Sanford/Springvale in the State Senate. This is my third term and this session is, without doubt, the most challenging. We faced many difficult decisions in the First Regular Session of the 124th, and I expect the same for the second session of the Legislature. State revenues have continued to fall far below projected amounts, resulting in yet another massive budget shortfall of $483 million to date and we are only into January with 6 more months until the fiscal year closes. Unlike last session where we had a massive infusion of one-time stimulus dollars, this session we can expect little help from the federal government. Augusta must solve the problem on its own. Maine families have been forced to make tough economic decisions and the time has come for state government to do the same. This economic downturn gives lawmakers in Augusta the opportunity and the mandate to look closely at state government and engage in the responsible budgeting and decision-making process that Maine people want and expect from their elected officials. If we have learned anything from the economic upheaval, it is that spending unwisely in the good times only makes it more difficult to weather the bad times. As difficult as these times are, they provide the catalyst to force the tough decisions that will “right-size” government. I will continue to seek long-term sustainable change that will position Maine to emerge from this downturn, stronger than when it began. Thank you again for the honor of representing you in Maine Senate. Please feel free to contact me with your thoughts, concerns or if you are having an issue with a state agency. I would be happy to help in any way that I can.
