As in past years, it’s fair to say, that without the tireless efforts of this collective group, the municipality would not continue to operate on a sound financial and operational basis. We continue to work towards implementing the vision of the Comprehensive Plan adopted in June of 2015 with still much to do, although significant progress is being made by the Planning Board and other committees. This is a journey that the Town has embarked on that will impact what our community looks and feels like for any years to come. As many of you know, this past fiscal year brought with it significant change in how we will vote on our annual budgets going forward when voters approved moving away from the traditional Town Meeting to referendum voting. We held our last Town Meeting as the year came to a close which approved our current budget. Starting in June of 2018, we will approve the Municipal Budget request with referendum voting. The Board continues to work with the Town Administer to improve municipal services, with, as always, an eye towards developing more efficient ways of utilizing our limited recourses. With many of the mandates and reduction in funding coming down from State Government, this will always be a challenge. This year, as in the past, will present many new and different hurdles. The Board’s priorities continue to be focused on developing solutions that will meet and address each challenge as it surfaces. We are committed to increasing the transparency of town government and will continue to take steps to improve communications with the public, our employees, departments and committee’s though-out 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’s report for Fiscal Year 2016-2017 This fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016 was my 4th year as your Town Administrator. The year began with Olde Home Days parade and festivities at Waterboro Middle School because of field construction at the High School.

  • Annual Report Town of Alfred, Maine
    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.
