A
A
C
A
E
City
council,
mr.
mayor
officer,
Bechtel
reserve
officer
for
four
years
with
the
Carroll
police
department,
was
awarded
a
life-saving
award
by
the
Maine
Chiefs
of
Police
Association
on
February
8th
of
this
year
in
efforts
of
saving
a
woman's
life
on
May
27
2018
at
approximately
740.
In
the
evening,
the
Carroll
Police
Department
received
a
walk-in
complaint
from
a
male
stating
that
a
female
was
underwater
just
below
the
police
department
and
that
she
was
not
responding
to
his
voice.
The
fire
dam
was
the
rescue
crew
was
dispatched,
but
our
part-time
officer
Bechtel
arrived
on
the
scene.
E
First
officer
Bechtel
jumped
into
the
cold
water
with
all
his
gear
on
his
personal
cell
phone
in
his
pocket
and
pulled
the
woman
out
of
the
water
to
safety.
The
safety
of
the
woman
was
his
first
priority.
The
temperature
of
the
water
and
danger
to
himself
was
not
a
thought
in
his
mind
when
he
arrived
on
the
scene.
The
female
was
in
distress
and
was
a
fifty
year
old,
who
had
mental
health
issues
and
then
was
escalating.
In
the
last
prior
weeks.
The
terrible
fire
and
aimless
Department
transported
the
woman
to
the
local
hospital.
E
Where
she
was
evaluated
and
later
released,
she
has
been
previously
on
the
suicidal
watch
officer
because
of
officer
Beck
tells
quick-response
thinking
that
action.
He
undoubtedly
saved
the
trouble
woman's
life,
which
is
why
I
believe
officer
Bechtel
represents
the
highest
standards
set
forth
by
the
Maine
Chiefs
of
Police
Association
for
his
gallant
work.
Maine
Chiefs
gave
him
the
life-saving
award
and.
F
B
D
D
Basically,
the
overtime
budget
is
quickly
drawing
down.
Some
of
the
crews
are
working
very
long
hours
more
than
24
hours
at
a
time
depending
on
the
storm
and
they've
had
issues
with
some
of
the
equipment
breaking
down,
obviously,
because
of
that
overuse,
you're,
not
overused,
but
the
number
of
hours
that
it's
being
used,
and
so
that's
also
drawing
down
the
maintenance
equipment
fund.
D
A
An
item
that
should
be
kept
a
watch
out,
though,
sure
the
overtime
on
Wow
overtime.
On
anything,
this
is
not
to
say
that
we've
ever
said
people
couldn't
have
overtime.
The
only
reason
they're
not
sometimes
they
don't,
is
because
department,
heads,
determined
they've
worked
long
hours
and
it
becomes
a
safety
issue.
Okay,.
A
G
A
A
D
So,
as
was
mentioned,
we
the
council
still
needs
to
review
a
projected
revenue
budget
for
the
year
when
the
expense
budget
was
opened
by
the
council
in
December.
We
had
some
very
preliminary
projections
for
revenues
for
this
year,
but
that
did
not
constitute
the
Charter
designated
revenue
budget
and
so
resolution
owed.
201
basically
allows
the
council
to
approve
the
projections
for
revenue
in
this
year.
D
I
will
point
out
that
in
the
the
managers
message
on
the
first
page,
it
says
that
the
projected
revenues
for
2019
and
then
in
brackets,
nine
million,
seven
hundred
and
seventy
five
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy
seven
dollars-
are
0.1%
under
the
2018
estimate
of
nine
million
seven
hundred
eighty
eight
thousand
five
hundred
and
fourteen
dollars.
I
need
to
clarify
that
those
numbers
are
the
general
revenues
of
the
city.
D
We
have
funds
that
are
general
revenues
that
just
as
the
money
comes
in
the
City
Council
through
its
budget
process,
can
apply
those
funds
anywhere
to
operations.
Now
we
also
have
what
we
consider
to
be
enterprise
funds
and
those
are
a
separate
revenue
and
the
enterprise
funds
as
they
come
in.
We
have
to
use
those
funds
specifically
for
the
enterprise
or
the
purposes
for
which
they
were
acquired,
such
as
the
housing
department.
Those
we
get
revenues
from
the
federal
government
for
that,
but
it's
not
a
general
revenue
we
can
use
anywhere.
D
We're
anticipating,
there's
going
to
be
a
reduction
in
revenue
that
comes
in
not
that
our
our
services
or
the
number
of
call
outs
is
going
to
grow
less.
It's
actually
trending
upwards,
but
because
of
what's
happening
in
that
industry,
we
are
seeing
less
compensation
coming
to
us
for
those
efforts.
It's
an
issue
that's
nationally
being
considered
I
know,
there's
also
been
discussion
at
the
state
level
of
how
is
main
care
you're
going
to
affect
this,
and
particularly
for
rural
emergency
service
providers,
which
seem
to
be
getting
hit
hardest
in
those
cases.
D
But
those
are
the
those
are
the
two
main
area
we're
looking
at
a
reduction
in
revenue
as
far
as
increases
in
revenue.
One
of
the
big
questions
that
the
council
I
think
needs
to
discuss
is
the
money
that
we're
receiving
this
year
from
the
Aroostook
waste
solutions,
roughly
640,000
dollars.
Those
are
one-time
funds
that
we're
receiving
as
part
of
the
Tri
community
landfill
merger
with
hostile
right
now,
I
have
in
the
revenue
budget
that
we
would
capture
roughly
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
of
that
towards,
for
instance,
the
River
Road
project.
D
A
one-time
project
using
these
one-time
funds
and
also
the
state
allows
us
to
create
a
credit
reserve
account
or
what
some
people
would
call
an
actual
rainy
day
fund,
and
we
don't
have
that
in
our
budget.
Right
now,
we
just
have
has
been
discussed
our
rolling
fund
balances-
and
so
it's
proposed
in
this
budget
that
we
would
capture
two
hundred
thousand
of
that
six
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
and
put
it
toward
this
rainy
day
fund
or
this
credit
reserve
account
the
remaining
funds,
the
City
Council.
D
We
need
to
discuss
what
is
going
to
be
the
best
option
that
we
want
to
look
at.
For
that.
Do
we
want
to
invest
those
funds
put
them
into
reserve
used
to
buy
down
existing
debt
that
we
might
have,
but,
as
was
indicated,
this
is
kind
of
any
reduction
of
the
budget
and
give
you
an
opportunity
to
review
this,
and
that
I
think
is
really
one
of
the
big
questions
is:
what
do
we
want
to
do
with
that
money?
That's
coming
from
Aroostook
waste
solutions.
G
G
G
D
With
what
Washburn
and
Wade
we
in
talking
with
chief
Susi,
we
have
the
facilities,
we
have
the
equipment,
we
need
to
service
those
communities,
and
so
that's
that's
not
a
concern
for
them,
but
as
the
regional
EMS
service
situation
is
influx
or
appears
to
be
influx,
we
may
be
approached
by
other
communities
asking
for
services
and
that
that's
where
we
need
to
really
look
at
or
we
don't
want
to
be
overextending
ourselves.
You
would
still
won't
be
able
to
provide
the
critical
service
for
caribou
and
all
these
other
communities
that
they
want.
G
G
D
H
Assistance
is
welfare
at
the
city
level
and
we
get
reimbursed
70
percent
from
the
state
of
Maine
for
general
assistance
and
if
you
have
less
general
assistance
than
you
get
less
revenue,
so
what
actually
has
happened,
the
cost
of
general
assistance,
what
we're
spending
is
gone
down,
I
have
less
clients,
and
so
our
reimbursement
at
70%
is
less
that's
why
the
revenues
have
gone
down,
but
we're
spending
less
yeah.
We
do
also
have
revenues
for
servicing
Conner
Township
and
we
get
from
the
state
of
Maine
$400
a
month.
H
D
A
D
Again,
most
of
that
is
from
last
year
that
we're
not
getting
one
hundred
forty
two
thousand
dollars
from
the
state,
we're
not
we're
seeing
a
loss
of
over
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
through
the
ambulance,
Bahrainis
insurance
issue.
There
are
some
other
revenues
that
are
going
or
creeping
up,
which
is
helping
to
offset
those
major
differences.
A
K
B
J
Just
feel
that
this,
since
the
first
read
it's
to
me,
I'd
like
to
at
least
have
another
week
or
so
to
pour
through
this-
and
we
mean
two
weeks-
I
don't
want
to
shut
you
guys
down.
You
know,
I
mean
this
is
important
stuff
here.
First,
look,
just
I
would
only
recommend,
from
my
point
of
view,
see
if
he
can
get
it
opener,
so
we
can
really
have
a
good
crack
at
this
motions
on
the
tables.
B
A
Reimbursement
of
insurance
with
a
fire
and
ambulance
system
is
getting
for
being
reimbursed,
lay
less
to
to
represent
what
it's
a
substantial
number
here.
I
hope
we
keep
our
eye
on
that
in
the
effort.
If
we're
going
to
think
about
expanding,
you
know,
we
don't
need
to
expand
into
risk
and
reward
deal
and
concentrate
on
efficient
efficiencies
with
what
we've
got.
A
D
Again,
we
don't
know
evaluation
for
the
city.
We
won't
know
that
until
June
we
don't
know
yet
for
sure
what
the
school
district
budget
is
going
to
be
for
this
year.
We
do
have
record
from
the
county
that
their
request
is
going
up
$50,000
and
as
we
get
closer
and
closer
to
the
setting
that
meal
rate,
that's
when
we
need
to
be
looking
again
more
closely
at
what
we're
going
to
use
that
IRA
stick
way
solutions
funds
for
the
the
council
has
already
indicated.
A
A
M
K
K
Doesn't
mean
expected
we
haven't,
we
haven't,
we
haven't
said
the
170,000
we're
getting
from
I
want
to
call
the
drug
community
Gillette
nakusoo,
it
doesn't
mean
we're
gonna
put
it
in
general.
Whatever
you
I
mean,
we've
always
said
it's
probably
best
to
do
one-time
funds
on
one-time
expenses
and
the
river
room
just
mentioned
yeah.
B
A
J
L
M
M
C
D
Baron
Council
we've
been
able
to
hire
an
officer
from,
or
we
have
an
application
and
I
believe
we
have
extended
an
offer
to
bring
somebody
from
the
state
into
our
police
force
to
fill
a
vacancy
that
we've
had
for
many
months
now.
Bringing
able
to
bring
this
person
into
our
force
means
that
we
have
to
compensate
the
state
for
the
training
that
was
provided.
We
thought
it
was
going
to
be
40
thousand
dollars.
It
turns
out
because
of
when
this
individual
entered
into
the
Academy.
D
It's
only
going
to
be
thirty
thousand
dollars,
and
so
we
don't
typically
have
a
specific
line
item
for
reimbursement
of
training
expenses,
and
so,
as
we've
looked
at
the
budget
that
we
have,
there
is
funds
that
we
believe
that
the
chief
has
looked
at
that
within
his
current
budget.
He
can
pay
for
a
portion
of
that
thirty
thousand
dollars
within
his
operational
budget,
but
there
is
other
funds,
roughly
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
that
we
would
need
to
move
over
from
the
reserve
funds
in
order
to
make
this
state
whole
with
this.
D
K
A
D
G
K
A
D
Aran
Council,
the
Planning
Board,
has
reviewed
the
flood
hazard
area
regulations
that
we
have
in
the
city
and
found
that
was
necessary
to
update
those
to
meet
current
federal
and
state
guidelines.
So
this
ordinance
is
proposed
to
be
introduced
tonight.
It
has
to
have
a
public
hearing
after
proper
notice
before
the
City
Council
can
actually
adopt
it.
So
this
is
just
an
introduction
of
the
ordinance
tonight.
G
J
B
B
D
G
D
The
Council
of
the
last
meeting
asked
that
we
provide
a
city
cash
flow
report
and,
and
so
I
I
guess,
would
turn
the
time
over
to
Carl
grant
or
financial
officer
to
walk
you
through
that
information.
There
is
a
graph.
Let
me
pull
it
up
on
the
screen
and
if
you'll
give
me
just
a
minute
to
project
it
over
the
video
feed
so
that
those
that
might
be
watching
it
elsewhere
can
see
it.
L
So
our
cash
flow
is
the
amount
of
money
that
we
have
on
hand
at
any
given
period
during
the
year.
So
this
is
a
yearly
snapshot
of
our
cash
flow.
Pretty
much
carries
the
same
line
every
year
within
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
on
any
given
day,
usually
at
the
beginning
of
the
year,
we're
right
around
four
million
and
if
you
can
see
on
the
bottom,
with
a
493
that
was
our
lowest
point
and
that's
rate
before
commitment.
L
So
on
an
average
month
we
average
around
eight
hundred
and
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
in
expenditures,
so
we
were
down
to
four
hundred
and
ninety
three
thousand
in
June,
which
is
is
pretty
low.
Once
we
hit
one
point,
five
million
mark
sometime
in
May
I
usually
have
a
discussion
or
in
the
past
one.
That's.
How
to
discussion
with
department
heads
to
you
know
make
sure
that
we're
not
spending
anything.
L
You
know
over
what
we
normally
would
try
to
hold
off
on
on
big
expenditures.
Until
we
get
commitment
and
then
you'll
see,
you
know,
that's
trend
once
we
hit
commitment,
July
and
the
money
starts
coming
in
and
then
it
really
starts
coming
in
in
September
before
the
interest
date
of
October
1st,
so
the
bottom
number
800
hours,
excuse-me
680,000-
that
was
a
one-day
take
in
and
that
was
about
September
15
fish
right
before
commitment.
A
L
A
L
A
B
A
L
L
D
A
If
there
was
ever
a
time
that
I
would
say,
okay,
let's
dig
into
some
of
these
monies-
that
we
have
tucked
away
and
pay
for
that,
instead
of
putting
it
on
the
tax
burden
of
the
citizens,
it
would
be.
That
would
be
one
incident,
so
I
would
be
in
favor
of,
but
we
can't
do
that
without
running
short
of
cash
or
in
the
air
right.
We
can't
win
and
grab
eight
hundred
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
what
I
always
thought
there
was
a
rainy
day
fund
somewhere
that
we
could
go
grab.
A
It's
also
a
way
that
we
can
fund
ourselves
through
the
year
with
these
caches.
Would
we
have
money
that
we,
seventeen
hundred
dollars
in
the
fire
hose
account?
We
borrow
that,
so
we
can
carry
the
city
and
we
put
it
back
in
when
the
taxes
come
in,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
former
manager
Steve
buck
used
to
say
could
never
believe
that
we
had
a
city
that
didn't
have
to
go
out
and
borrow
funds
to
operate
the
city
during
the
course
of
the
year.
A
He
was
impressed
with
that
and
it
was
a
legacy
that
was
left
to
him
and
we've
been
doing
this
for
35
40
years
we
have
been
operating
the
city
without
having
to
borrow
money,
there's
no
money
to
go
grab
to
pay
for
that
River
Road.
Without
having
to
break
from
that
tradition
of
not
borrowing
money
that
I
can
see,
am
I
know.
A
Way,
that's
the
point
that
I
that
I've
asked
the
manager
to
bring
the
cash
flow
up
to.
Let
us
all
know
that
this
rainy
day
fund
that
we
all
think
we
have
isn't
this
big,
a
might
pile
of
money,
as
we
think
I
had
three
points
and
I
make
them.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
didn't
mean
to
I
just
want
to
understand
it.
No.
L
D
So
the
council
has
asked
me
to
also
prepare
some
comments
or
to
talk
about
economic
development
and
I've
put
together
some
slides
just
to
to
go
over
this
I
think
more
from
as
I
as
I
see.
Can
all
my
development
my
background
where
I
come
from
and
from
my
point
of
view,
the
role
of
the
city
can
take
when
I
say
the
city
can
take.
It
is
because
the
City
Council
you
set
the
priorities
for
economic
development.
If.
D
Is
done
through
the
budget
process
through
our
goal
sessions,
and
so
well.
I'm
going
to
share
is
from
what
I
see
some
things
that
we
can
start
to
look
at
with
economic
development
in
the
city.
Some
things
to
consider,
and
in
doing
this,
a
very
general
definition
if
you
can
all
active
element-
and
you
put
this
again
back
on
the
screen
for
those
that
are
out
there.
I
hope
it's
coming
across
the
feet
better
than
our
TV
is-
is
showing
it
kind
of
a
little
fuzzy.
D
It
all
depends
on
on
the
perspective
of
the
individual
of
what
long
term
quality
of
life
means
and
the
resources
what
there'd
be
sustainable,
and
essentially
everybody
has
their
own
Emerald
City,
and
what
that
visionary
utopia
is
with
economic
development.
At
the
same
time,
Emerald
City
needs
a
water
supply.
So
to
speak,
that's
what
feeds
the
economic
development.
B
D
Feeds
the
lifeblood
of
that,
and
that
can
go
up
and
down
depending
on
the
season
where
you're
at
and
I
guess.
The
question
is
what
makes
up
the
lifeblood
or
the
water
supply
for
our
Emerald
City.
Here
in
Caribou
and
generally,
when
we
look
at
ecology
development,
we
look
at
different
sectors
of
jobs.
D
There's
a
resource
sector
for
typically
includes
agriculture,
mining,
natural
resources,
real
estate.
You
have
the
trade
sector
of
manufacturing
engineering
jobs,
construction
jobs
would
even
include
aviation
jobs
in
that
sector.
You
have
the
service
sector,
human
services,
health
services,
such
as
the
hospital
recreation
services,
such
as
we
provide
at
the
Recreation
Center,
but
as
well
as
businesses
like
the
outdoor
Sports
Institute,
would
be
a
recreation
job.
D
The
financial
sector
we've
got
many
financial
institutions
in
town.
Of
course,
retail
is
a
service
sector.
They
provide
the
service
to
citizens
who
need
to
buy
goods
and
commodities.
The
education
sector,
education.
We
often
think
about
the
schools
as
simply
a
place
to
to
drain
our
taxpayers
dollars
somewhere,
but
it
actually
provides
jobs
and
helps
put
money
back
into
the
pockets
of
the
local
citizens,
as
well
as
training
our
future
workforce.
D
There
are
companies
that
are
involved
with
research
and
technology
and
looking
at
improving
things
and
also
what
are
considered
professional
sectors
government
again.
Sometimes
these
not
can
looked
at
as
a
positive
thing
in
the
in
the
sector
or
in
the
economy,
but
we
have
Caribou
as
a
county
seat.
So
to
speak.
You
have
County
offices
here,
state
offices,
the
city,
the
school
district,
the
utilities
district.
D
A
lot
of
comments,
I
received,
are
well,
we
need
more
retail
and
we
need
more
manufacturing
as
if,
if
we
had
those
two
things,
everything
was
going
to
just
turn
around
and
the
economy
was
going
to
be
great
here
in
Caribou
and
oftentimes
I
think
we
lose
sight
that
we
already
have
a
lot
of
these
sectors
represented
in
Caribou.
We
have.
Obviously
agriculture
is
a
big
thing.
The
natural
resource
uses,
while
maybe
not
necessary,
right
in
Caribou,
but
there
are
some
jobs
and
natural
resources
here,
as
well
as
in
the
region.
D
D
The
largest
employer
we
have
in
Caribou
is
the
hospitals
and,
of
course,
as
it
was
discussed,
the
education
and
all
of
the
different
government
entities
that
are
here
as
we
look
at
all
of
these
as
a
component
of
the
economy
in
Caribou
and
what,
as
a
city,
how
are
we
affecting
the
economy
without
relative?
To
these
things
often
times
we
look
at
the
role
of
the
city
is
primarily
its
perceived
that
all
we
do
is
we
establish
laws
to
get
in
people's
ways
right?
D
We
create
hurdles,
whether
it
be
for
rezoning
the
building
codes,
the
health
codes,
we're
regulating
the
floodplains,
as
was
already
introduced
tonight,
something
that
we
look
at
for
health
and
safety
and
welfare
of
utility
systems
regulate
the
kind
of
water
that
can
be
used.
The
standards
for
the
water
quality,
the
sewer
system
and
how
that's
treated
roads,
power
and,
of
course,
education,
and
even
the
monetary
system,
is
regulated
by
government
at
the
local
level.
Then
it's
one
of
the
primary
roles
that
I
see
is
a
local
government.
There's
three
things.
D
One
is
to
maintain
the
economy
looking
at
all
of
the
different
sectors
that
we
have
in
Caribou.
How
can
we
help
those
businesses
expand
and
be
able
to
be
retained
and
be
and
retain
their
viability?
According
to
the
International
Economic
Development
Council
80%
of
growth
will
come
from
current
businesses
and
they
also
couple
that
with
100%
of
your
losses
as
well,
that
seems
like
a
no-brainer
but
the
80%
of
your
growth.
That's
not
necessarily
something
we
always
look
at.
Sometimes
we
always
think
the
grass
is
greener
somewhere
else.
D
Let's
bring
somebody
else
here
and
let's
do
all
this,
but
really
it's.
How
can
we
look
at
the
current
businesses
in
all
of
the
different
sectors
and
help
them
grow?
That's
we're
gonna
see
most
of
our
growth
and,
of
course,
we
need
to
maintain
our
current
infrastructure.
We
need
to
maintain
our
city
and
cleaning
it
up,
enhancing
it,
making
it
more
attractive
for
people
to
come,
for
businesses
to
come
and,
of
course,
promoting
industry
and
self-reliance
in
the
city.
Also
reducing
hurdles
where
we
can.
D
We
also
have
the
ability
to
attract
this
is
always
mentioned.
Can
we
bring
new
money
into
the
economy?
Are
there
businesses
out
there
that
we
can
attract?
I
know
that
Christina
does
a
lot
of
work
in
attracting
events
and
marketing
here?
Well,
that
might
be
temporary
dollars.
That's
that's
outside
dollars
that
are
being
brought
into
our
economy,
and
so
that
helps
attract
and
build
up
the
local
businesses,
which
again
it
helps
to
maintain
current
businesses
when
we
can
bring
you
outside
dollars
in
and
again
marketing
and
branding
of
the
city.
D
Looking
at
investments
are
there
are
there
dollars
inside
our
current
economy
that
are
not
being
invested,
that
we,
if
things
came
along,
we
could
attract
them
to
invest
in
the
current
economy
and,
of
course,
outside
of
the
area.
Can
we
attract
them
in
and
again,
are
there
hurdles
to
attracting
businesses
that
we
need
to
clear?
I've
mentioned
this
with
the
Planning
Board
that
our
site
plan
review
process
right
now
could
take
six
months.
If
somebody
came
in
and
said,
I
want
to
build
a
brand
new,
fast-food
restaurant
here
in
town.
D
Our
review
process
is
over
almost
six
months
and
just
going
through
public
hearings
and
reviews
and
and
everything
else
that
our
ordinances
say,
we
have
to
have
there's
some
things
like
that
that
we
can
look
at
reducing
those
hurdles
and
speeding
up
some
of
that
and,
of
course,
we
could
also
look
at
creating
these
three.
When
you
look
at
creating
you're
looking
at,
are
there
ways
of
facilitating
economic
think
tanks,
there's
private
groups
that
are
in
the
community
right
now
that
are
already
doing
this
they're
looking
at?
D
How
can
we
bring
other
businesses
in
how
como
utilize
our
resources
more
advantageous
ly,
and
what
resources
can
the
city
help
provide
in
creation
of
new
jobs
of
new
businesses?
This
is
kind
of
the
the
Big
Mac,
so
to
speak
in
my
eyes,
with
the
economy
in
the
city's
role
is
those
three
maintaining
attracting
and
creating.
D
Now,
as
far
as
city
resources,
we
have
people
that
help
out
with
the
code
enforcement
we
have
kam
Richardson
he's
here
tonight,
he's
been
tasked
with
looking
at
our
codes.
I've
been
very
involved
with
the
Planning,
Board
and
land
use
codes,
he's
been
helping
out
a
lot
into
taking
the
lead
and
blight
and
safety
improvements.
D
We
have
again
Christina,
that's
helping
out
there
doing
all
of
our
events,
marketing
and
networking
Main
Street
project.
Recently,
the
business
investment
group,
both
she
and
Ken,
are
working
with
those
groups,
the
glass-half-full
CGC
and
MCC
MP.
There's,
there's
lots
of
groups
in
Caribou
and
outside
of
caribou
that
there's
a
lot
of
potential
there
to
tap
into
that,
and
I
would
also
add
the
Mi'kmaq
nation
in
here
as
well.
They
have
resources
and
people
are
also
dedicated
to
this,
which
is
in
caribou,
of
course,
there's
money.
D
The
city
has
a
revolving
loan
fund
generated
from
TIF
dollars
of
over
230,000
dollars
that
we
can
loan
to
small
businesses
that
are
looking
to
either
get
started
or
are
looking
to
have
just
a
little
bit
of
extra
to
make
a
project
work.
We
also
have
$200,000
in
reserve
specific
for
that
purpose.
We
have
our
facade
improvement,
grant
funds
right
now.
It's
roughly
$27,000
for
businesses
in
the
downtown
area
that
we're
looking
to
do
a
facelift
or
a
new
signage
or
dress
up
their
storefronts.
D
That
funding
is
available,
that
we
have
as
a
grant
process
and,
of
course,
the
CD
CDBG
applications.
The
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds
which
the
state
handles,
but
the
city
has
to
be
the
applicant
for
those
funds
on
behalf
of
businesses,
and
there
are
other
TIF
dollars
that
we
can
be
using
for
economic
development
activities.
D
There's
also
been
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
properties
that
the
city
now
owns,
either
through
tax
acquisition
or
properties
that
we're
holding
on
to
such
as
the
old
waste
landfill
out
on
the
open
road.
That's
over
30
acres
of
ground,
that's
just
sitting
there
and
arguably
we
could
be
doing
things
with
it.
There's
ideas
of.
Can
we
put
a
5
megawatt
power
generation
facility
on
that
ground
with
solar
systems?
Of
course,
blight
cleanup,
there's
a
discussion
of?
D
Are
there
properties
that
could
be
better
utilized
for
the
public
community,
gardens
or
education
opportunities
parts
again
things
to
beautify,
enhance
neighborhoods
and
to
green
things.
Up
I
already
mentioned
the
power
generation
facilities,
there's
properties
that
we
all
know
know
that
utilities
district
is
currently
looking
at
utilizing,
some
of
their
property
for
solar
power
generation
as
a
way
of
helping
offset
some
of
their
electrical
costs.
It
could
be
doing
that
same
thing
as
well.
D
D
We
wanted
to
have
additional
stakeholder
meetings
and
we
working
with
Ken
to
outline
a
time
frame
for
approaching
each
of
the
different
sectors
that
we
have
and
so
talking
with
each
of
those
as
best
we
can
the
business
owners
property
owners,
and
how
can
we
help
strengthen
their
businesses
looking
at
what
are
the
strengths
and
weaknesses
in
the
caribou
region
within
their
industries?
What
are
the
opportunities
that
we
have,
that
we
can
and
also
what
are
some
of
the
threats
to
us
growing
those
things
and
how
do
we
begin
to
tackle
those?
D
And
so
we
we
can't
just
say
we're:
gonna
have
an
Emerald
City
and
it's
going
to
be
beautiful.
The
streets
are
paved
with
gold
and
everything's
going
to
be
great.
When
we
do
these
things
there's
some
of
this
is
going
to
require
some
reality
checks
and
a
recognition
that
we
have
to
still
work
within
our
current
markets,
and
some
of
that
is
developing
that
growing.
That
I
mentioned
this
to
Mayor
gone
that
sometimes
we
also
need
to
create
those
markets
through
our
branding
exercises
and
attracting
and.
B
D
We
do
that,
but
ultimately
trying
to
create
some
more
realistic
goals
again
working
with
the
business
community's
trying
to
help
them
grow.
Just
to
give
an
example
of
this,
we
recently
helped
poor
vera
filtration
group
apply
for
$300,000
$300,000,
a
project
that
they
want
to
do
to
expand
their
business
and
bring
in
new
lines
of
product.
New
equipment
would
bring
in
more
jobs,
and
in
order
for
them
to
do
that,
they
went
after
CDBG
funding.
Again
we
had
to
apply
on
their
behalf,
but
in
order
to
help
them
grow
their
business.
D
Those
are
some
of
the
things
we
can
be
looking
at
with
each
business
owner.
That's
interested
I
had
a
another
person
that
called
me
just
last
week
and
said:
I
want
to
be
downtown
Sweden
Street.
In
order
to
do
that,
I
need
170
thousand
dollars.
How
can
we
make
it
work
and
we
were
able
to
point
them
in
the
right
direction
to
start
looking
at
some
of
the
funds,
the
city
has
to
don't
even
do
that,
but
we
definitely
want
to
be
a
little
more
I
guess.
A
We
are
not
growing
fast
enough
to
me
in
those
two
departments
to
me
and
they're,
the
big
ones
they're,
the
two
big
ones:
it's
yeah.
We
can
charge
for
boat
rental,
both
licenses-
and
you
know
three
hundred.
Seventy
dollars
to
register
the
airplanes
at
the
airport,
and
but
the
big
ones
are
excise
tax
and
property
tax
and
I
don't
mean
growing
them.
By
raising
the
mill
rate,
I
mean
growing
them
from
private
sector
investment
expansion.
A
A
Growing
those
numbers
there's
a
diplomatic
word,
somebody
could
put
together
for
me
any
one
of
those
we
can
take
and
apply
it
and
work
on
it
by
at
some
point
down
the
road
I
hope
we
could
look
at
those
two
numbers
and
say
they're
growing,
because
from
those
two
numbers,
that's
how
we're
going
to
pay
our
wages
for
the
city,
that's
how
we're
gonna
buy
new
equipment.
That's
how
we're
going
to
keep
up
our
infrastructure.
A
There
is
a
philosophy
that
we
just
keep
taxing
people
more
and
more
I
do
not
have
that
philosophy
and
I'm
one
of
seven,
and
so
my
hope
would
be
to
do
something
with
economic
development
that
would
grow
those
numbers.
It
can
be
something
as
somebody
coming
and
building
a
$200,000
home
and
has
to
pay
taxes
on
that
home.
That's
growing
that
number.
It
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
business.
A
If
you
build
a
garage
and
yet
if
it
it's
not
economic
development,
under
my
definition,
it
has
to
grow
the
number
those
numbers.
So
thank
you
very
much
I'd
like
to
throw
it
in
because,
in
this
pie,
labeled
private
sector
investment
expansion
is
just
that
there's
a
piece
that
deals
with
economic
development
that
we'd
like
to
have
you
work
on.
A
Sometimes
we
have
an
attitude
and
Caribou
I
feel
that
we
can
be
something
to
everybody
and
I'd
like
to
take
the
approach.
Let's
be
something
for,
let's
just
do
one
thing
right
or
two
things:
if
we're
for
spread
out
too
thin,
sometimes
we
don't
achieve
our
goals
as
good
as
well
as
we'd
like
to
have.
Thank
you.
D
Received
word
from
Emeritus
morning
that
they
should
be
done
with
their
review
of
our
accounts
by
the
end
of
this
week
and
and
what
that
would
do
is
we
would
be
looking
at
all
of
the
street
lights.
The
real
term
identified
as
potentially
being
changed
out,
and
there
is
now
looking
at
those
and
cross-referencing
their
location
data
with
our
location
data.
To
confirm.
Is
that
really
a
city
light,
or
is
that
a
d-o-t
light
or
a
private
light?
And
once
we
get
those
numbers
back
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
refined
proposal?
D
A
cost
proposal
for
the
council
to
look
at
I've
also
received
from
real
term
their
general
financing
terms
for
the
council
to
consider
when
we
have
that
report,
and
so
we
can
discuss
potentials
for
financing
the
street
light
conversion,
whether
we
do
it
by
financing
it
or
one-time
funds.
However,
we
want
to
look
at
that
to
see
those
cost
savings,
but
it's
still
in
the
process,
and
we
should
get
it
back
to
you
by
your
next
council
meeting,
I'm
hoping
so
we
could
have.
A
Nothing
fancy
with
what
you
know
at
the
time,
and
we
would
we
would
put
him
out
or
we
we
would
hire
someone
to
put
him
up.
We
don't
them
and
we'll
go
from
there.
It's
a
basic
way,
you're
starting
mm-hmm.
That
would
be
great
and
you
were
gonna
talk
to
a
local
contractor.
Yes,
I
haven't
done
that
yet,
but,
okay,
anything
on
the
river
Oh
I.
D
Met
with
since
the
packet
went
out,
I
met
with
Dubois
and
King.
There's
a
new
project
manager
involved
with
that
mr.
Shane
MacDougall,
who
was
with
to
Guan
King,
has
left
that
firm
and
is
starting
his
own
engineering
business.
So
the
blonde
King
met
with
me
to
just
show
a
new
face
and
say
they
are
still
planning
to
work
on
the
project.
B
B
D
To
looking
at
have
they
addressed
the
concerns
that
have
been
discussed
as
far
as
are
we
shifting
the
whole
road
or
was
shifting
just
a
portion
of
the
road?
Are
we
going
up
and
down
the
elevation
a
little
bit
or
not,
and
we
can,
if
you'd
like
to
have
a
couple
council
members
there
to
be
part
of
that
discussion,
we
could
do.
B
D
B
D
C
C
C
B
D
Prior
to
the
bid
tell
me
what
we
do
with
the
bid
is
we
we
have
a,
we
call
a
pre-bid
meeting
where
we
invite
out
ready
to
come
in
and
we
open
up
the
plans.
We
walk
through
the
plans
with
all
the
contractors
at
the
same
time,
so
everybody
is
getting
the
same
information
at
once
and
that
pre-bid
meeting
can
be
mandatory
or
not,
and
we
typically
just
we
want
to
make
sure
everybody's
got
the
same
sheet
of
music
they're
playing
from
in.
B
J
M
D
D
J
D
K
D
Know
that
North
Main
needs
to
be
resurfaced,
and
it
is
a
state
highway
and
date
is
because
of
the
condition
of
North
Main,
as
well
as
Sweeden
Street
Davis.
Looking
at
within
his
operational
budget,
can
we
pare
some
of
our
additional
or
some
of
our
budgeted
funds
with
some
d-o-t
funds
and
and
trying
to
get
another
partnership
put
in
place
to
fix
or
to
resurface
that
I
wrote,
but
that
would
have
to
come
back
as
an
MP
I
and
the
council
would
have
to
approve
that
if
that
was
the
case,
okay.
K
J
D
D
Night
at
6:30
they're
having
a
special
open
house,
I
believe
with
the
school
district.
You
have
to
check
their
pages
to
verify
that
information.
I
was
over
there
at
lunch
today,
dropping
off
some
things
for
one
of
my
kids
and
ran
into
mr.
wakana
and
I
apparently
have
already
opened
up
their
old
trophy
cases
and
started
dusting
off
the
old
trophies,
so
they
can.
J
A
A
Policy
that
how
you
know
reasons
and
why
we're
leasing
and
things
of
that
nature,
I'm
concerned
that
that's
getting
away
from
the
concept
of
the
CIP
and
that
we
should
have
been
saving
money.
But
let's,
let's
hear
the
report,
let's
see,
what's
going
on
before
I
bring
that
up
anything
else
from
the
council.
A
D
A
B
H
H
Jayne
Ferrand
city
clerk
I'm,
also
your
public
access
officer
and
I,
have
held
that
position
since
some
time
in
the
fall
of
2017
and
I've
had
handle
something
like
12
or
13
formal
inquiries
about
requests
for
documents.
We
have
informal
ones
that
come
in
all
the
time.
For
instance,
I
have
we
have
a
company
that
contacts
about
once
a
month
wanting
to
know
if
we
have
an
ordinance
about
distressed
properties,
myself
and
I
respond,
nothing
changes
so
main
freedom
of
access
act.
H
The
main
your
right
to
know
main
freedom
from
access,
your
right
to
know
specifically
directs
the
law
to
be
liberally
construed
to
promote
its
purpose.
This
rule
is
often
cited
by
courts
when
finding
in
favor
of
public
access,
when
the
statutes
applicability
is
otherwise
uncertain.
So
if
there
is
some
question,
the
courts
have
ruled
on
the
open
side,
who
must
be
choice,
lied
who
must
be
trained
elected
officials,
so
here
in
caribou
you
need
to
have
the
counselors
the
Jefferson
carry
board.
H
That's
something
I
learned
since
I've
taken
this
training
and
now
they're
doing
the
training
themselves,
the
RSU
board,
and
now
those
are
being
filed
with
me.
The
board
has
been
doing
them
through
the
RSU,
but
I'm
now
getting
copies
of
the
statements
that
they
have
completed
it
and
the
public
access
officer,
which
is
myself
and
I've,
taken
the
training.
Also,
it
must
be
done
within
120
days
of
taking
the
oath
of
office
so
for
councilors,
Smith
and
Eyre,
and
needs
to
be
done
by
May,
2nd.
That's
why
public
proceedings?
H
This
is
what
the
manager
wanted
me
to
speak
to
about
tonight.
We're
at
a
public
proceeding
right
now,
it
broadly
defined
by
statutes
that
end
the
court
to
mean
the
transaction
of
any
function
by
a
public
body
or
agency
affecting
any
or
all
citizens
of
the
state
slide.
Please
all
public
proceedings
to
be
open
to
the
public
and
any
person
may
be
permitted
to
attend
slide.
H
Public
proceeding,
a
public
notice
is
required
for
all
public
proceedings.
If
the
proceedings
are
a
meeting
of
a
body
or
agency
consisting
of
three
or
more
persons
should
be
an
S
on
there.
This
includes
regular
and
special
meetings
of
municipal
boards
and
committees,
including,
but
not
limited
to
the
council.
Planning
Board
of
Appeals
also
includes
committees
subcommittees
of
those
boards,
so
the
council
committees,
if
it's
three
or
more
we'd,
have
to
have
public
notice
and
that's
a
public
proceeding.
H
General
notice
requirement
the
right
to
know
law
notice
to
be
given
in
ample
time
to
allow
public
attendance
should
choose
a
method
of
notification
that
will
be
reasonably
communicate
to
the
most
people.
The
fact
the
meeting
will
be
held
here
in
Caribou.
It
is
our
tradition
to
post
it
on
the
city's
website
and
it's
also
posted
in
the
City
Clerk's
office
and
because
the
council
has
set
their
meetings
for
throughout
the
year.
That
is
also
on
the
website.
H
If
an
emergency
arises
so
that
it
is
impossible
to
give
meaningful
notice,
then
the
board
must
first
notify
local
representatives
of
the
media.
Hey
Chris,
we'll
have
to
get
in
touch
with
you
by
the
same
means.
The
notice
of
the
emergency
meeting
was
communicated
to
the
other
members
of
the
board,
so
in
other
words,
if
you
as
council,
receive
notification
of
the
need
for
an
emergency
meeting
by
email,
Chris
should
receive
it
by
that
same
method.
H
If
it's
a
phone
call
same
method
for
Chris,
the
Charter
says,
whenever
practical
all
meetings
shall
be
called
with
no
less
than
12
hours
notice
to
each
member.
All
council
and
committee
meetings,
except
for
personnel
and
executive
sessions,
shall
be
open
to
the
public
and
televised
when
held
in
Council
Chambers.
Okay
notice
that
the
meeting
to
include
these
are
the
three
components
it
needs
to
include
the
date.
H
H
D
D
The
FCC
has
handed
down
their
ruling,
which
is
going
through
an
appeal
process
right
now
that,
in
the
event
of
our
Channel
1301,
for
instance,
they
could
now
count
the
costs
of
providing
that
channel
against
our
franchise
payment
fees
that
we
receive
basis.
So,
where
we've
typically
received
close
to
ninety
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
cable
franchise
fees,
they
can
now
deduct
from
that
amount
of
money.
The
cost
of
providing
channel,
13
or
one
so
something
to
be
thinking
about.
H
Executive
sessions
closed-door
discussion,
yes,
they're,
permitted
they're
permitted
on
specific
subjects.
After
a
public
recorded
vote
of
three-fifths
of
the
members
present
and
voting
I've
done
the
math
you
know.
So,
if
you
have
six
people
there,
you've
got
to
have
four
I
believe
I.
Think
that's
still
four.
If
you
have
five
people
there,
I
thought
I
would
do
the
math
slide.
Please,
executive
sessions
may
only
be
held
for
a
limited
purpose
of
permitted
deliberation.
H
The
motion
to
enter
must
state
the
precise
nature
of
the
executive
session
and
to
include
a
citation
of
one
or
more
sources
of
statutory
or
other
authority
that
permits
an
executive
session
for
that
business
and
to
make
it
convenient
for
you.
I
have
put
three
under
the
glass
at
seat
two
and
four
and
six
and
blue
paper
under
there
about
what
the
selections
that
you
could
have
for
going
into
executive
session.
H
So,
as
related
to
the
city,
you
can
go
into
executive
sessions
for
personnel
matters,
but
only
when
public
discussion
could
damage
a
person's
reputation
or
when
a
person's
right
to
privacy
could
be
violated.
Now,
for
instance,
if
you're
going
into
executive
session
and
to
discuss
with
an
individual,
a
personnel
matter,
they
could
ask
to
stay
in
open
session.
It
is
up
to
the
individual
that's
going
into
the
executive
session
as
to
whether
or
not
they
want
it
closed
or
open
for
that
personnel
matter.
D
If
you
are
going
to
go
into
a
personnel
matter
to
discuss
an
individual,
they
have
a
right
to
know
that
you're
going
to
be
talking
about
them
and
a
right
to
be
there
in
that
discussion.
It's
not
just
a
matter
of.
Do
you
want
us
to
talk
about
you,
an
open
or
private,
it's
you're
going
to
be
you're
able
to
be
here
during
the
whole
discussion
and
hear
all
of
the
complaints
or
the
issues.
D
H
Discussion
of
labor
contacts
and
proposals
between
the
municipality
and
labor
negotiators,
consultations
between
the
city
and
its
attorney,
but
only
when
a
premature
disclosure
at
the
topic
would
place
the
city
at
a
substantial
disadvantage.
The
minister,
but
the
municipal
attorney
must
be
present.
Okay,
at
least
by
telephone.
A
conference
call.
H
If
the
code

officer
under
the
rule,
80
K

of
information
contained
in
records
made
confidential
by
statute
and

or
approval
of
the
contents
of
examinations
that
were
administered
by
the
city
for
licensing

or
employment
purposes
slide,
please
counsel

prohibited
from
giving
final
approval
to
any
ordinance
or
ters
rules,
resolutions,
regulations,
contracts,
appointments
or
in
other
official
action.
In
an
executive
session,
any
person
may
appeal
to
Superior
Court
upon
learning
of
any
public
body
or
agency
conducting
improper
business
before
during
an
executive
session.
H
The
board
that
meets
in
the
executive
session
bears
the
burden
of
establishing
the
legitimacy
of
the
executive
session.
If
the
its
legality
is
challenged
in
court,
our
neighboring
city
to
the
south
had
an
executive
session
had
executive
sessions
of
their
appeals
board
challenged
in
court.
Underwood
versus
the
city
of
Presque,
Isle
I
believe
is
1998.
I
can
tell
you
what
it
involved.
It
was
the
school
fire
and
whether
or
not
the
school
farm
being
up
there.
H
If
that
was
educational
purposes,
that
was
the
problem,
but
it
was
the
executive
sessions
to
quote
from
that
Court
decision.
The
burden
should
not
be
upon
the
party
asserting
a
violation
to
establish
what
the
public
body
did
and
said
at
a
meeting
from
which
the
party
was
excluded.
Rather,
a
public
body
is
charged
with
violating
the
terms
of
the
freedom
of
access.
H
Excuse
me,
freedom
of
access
act
during
executive
session.
Excuse
me,
a
public
body
charged
with
violating
the
terms
of
a
freedom
of
access
act
during
an
executive
session,
has
the
burden
of
proving
that
its
actions
during
the
executive
session
complied
with
an
exception
with
the
freedom
of
access
act,
open
meeting
requirement.
H
H
Slide,
please
do
I
have
a
right
to
speak
at
a
public
meeting.
No.
According
to
the
state
statute,
there
is
no
right
to
speak,
except
according
to
the
city
charter,
at
least
15
minutes
at
the
beginning
of
each
regularly
scheduled
meeting.
This
is
what
the
Charter
says.
There
shall
be
a
time
slot
of
at
least
15
minutes
available
at
the
beginning
of
each
regularly
scheduled
meeting
for
input
from
residents
or
taxpayers
of
caribou.
H
H
You
have
an
emergency
meeting,
you
have
a
special
meeting
doesn't
seem
like
you
have
to
have
any
public
input
available
or-
and
it
says
residents
or
taxpayers
of
caribou
I'm
talking
here
tonight,
but
I
might
not
have
permission
unless
you
gave
it
to
me
to
talk
in
public
input
because
I'm,
neither
a
taxpayer
or
a
resident
of
caribou
but
I
sure
felt
like
it
over
the
weekend.
I
can
tell
you.
I
was
marooned
coming
out
of
me
all
over,
so
slide,
please
emails.
H
Emails
cannot
be
used
for
a
substitute
for
deliberations
permissible
to
communicate
with
other
members
about
non
substantive
matters,
such
as
scheduling,
meetings
developing
and
genders.
Getting
that
information
out
on
LED
lights,
that's
okay,
and
for
a
few
years
now
you
have
been
receiving.
The
city
has
email
addresses
for
you
slide.
Please.
H
H
We
also
suggest
that
that
municipal
account
municipal
accounts.
We
warn
users
both
official
and
constituents,
that
their
email,
if
it's
about
municipal
business,
is
likely
to
be
a
public
record
in
subject
to
public
disclosure
and
record
retention
requirements.
Okay
had
a
new
employee
start.
Last
week
she
was
contacted
home
her
third
day,
a
facebook
messenger.
With
a
question
about
municipal
government,
I
counseled
her
about
responding
to
inquiries
through
her
phone,
the
same
caution
should
be
true
for
councillors,
receiving
text
or
Facebook
messages
on
their
own
phones.
H
H
We
need
to
be
careful
with
that
dialogue
occurring
between
councilors
as
to
how
they
plan
to
vote
or
planning,
board
members
or
any
other
board.
A
committee.
That's
are
talking
through
texting,
each
other
or
using
emails
on
how
they
plan
to
vote
or
with
members
of
the
public,
while
input
on
that
subject
is
going
on
this
isn't
available
to
the
other
counselors
or
those
attending
or
watching
the
meeting.
D
H
H
So
long
farewell,
you
can't
do
it
remotely.
You
can't
have
a
conference
call.
You
can't
have
a
video.
This
has
been
addressed,
there's
been
bills
in
front
of
the
legislature
in
the
last
few
years
and
they
have
not
acted
to
change
this.
So
it's
not.
Okay.
We
had
a
committee
here
in
town
a
year
ago
that
one
of
the
members
was
on
a
video
comedy
Oh
conference
call
I
read
the
minutes
for
that
committee
that
we
have
for
board
and
I
contacted
the
chair
and
said,
can't
be
done.
H
So
additional

I'm
going
to
pass
out
to
you
copies
of
frequent,
ask
questions
and
I
have
a
certificate
of
completion,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
might
try
to
answer.
I
will
going
to
additional
training
room,
March
11th
right
here
at
northern
Maine
for
public
access
laws
and
I've
enjoyed
actually
being
the
access
officer
of
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
so
I
have
like
four
things:
I'd
like
to
just
mention
off
topic.
If
there
aren't
any
questions.

You
don't
need
to
go
so
I'm
gonna
pass
these
out
to
you
tonight.
If
you'd
read
these
all
four
take
it
home
and
then
just
get
me
back
the
certificate.
The
next
meeting
and
I
have
from
Jefferson
and
Kerry
had
never
done
them
to
be
honest,
I
didn't
know
they
had
to
do
them,
and
so
they
are
doing
them
now
and,
like
I
said,
I
have
the
IRS
use
filed
with
me.
Yeah.
H
D
The
questions
come
up
in
the
past.
What
about
the
appointed
boards,
such
as
the
hospital
districts
or
the
care
of
the
utilities
district,
since
those
boards
are
appointed
by
the
council,
they're
not
required
by
law,
to
have
this
training,
but
they
are
required
as
a
board
to
function
within
this
law
and
to
follow
all
of
its
precepts,
and
so
they
don't
go.
They
don't
have
to
excuse
the
law.
They
don't
have
to
have
this
training.
Yes,.
H
It's
only
elected
officials,
so
it
was
a
training.
I
was
that
and
the
town
had
both
elected
the
small
town,
elected
budget
committee
and
appointed
budget
committee.
The
elected
ones
had
to
take
the
training,
the
appointed
once
didn't
all
on
the
same
board,
and
that
was
the
answer
from
the
attorney
any
other
things.
