Consolidation’s impact on towns considered
Bar Harbor Times, December 12, 2007
(excerpt) Bar Harbor manager Dana Reed reported to the league on a presentation he attended regarding the effect of consolidation on municipalities.
Some matters that might be affected include: town ownership of schoolproperties, town use of schools as emergency shelters and for recreation programming and adult education, funding received by towns to improve school facilities, town infrastructure on school properties, such as pump stations and sewer pipes, cable TV franchise agreements, fiduciary arrangements, school personnel on town retirement or insurance plans, and police department presence at school functions.
Mr. Reed said he planned to meet with his town’s department heads to compile an inventory of interactions and begin to straighten out the issues.
