S T A T E O F M A IN E OFFIC E OF THE GOVERNOR 1 STATE HOUSE STATION A U G U S T A M A IN E 04333 0001 PAUL R LEPAGE GOVERNOR Dear Citizens of Maine For the past eight years as your Governor my priority has been to make Maine prosperous I am proud to say that my administration has had some success but there is more that can be done Mainers experienced strong record setting economic growth in 2018 setting so many new records a record high number of employers a record high number of private sector jobs record high revenues for the state record low unemployment and the fastest net earnings growth in New England Our poverty rate declined to the lowest since 2005 with the fewest number of children in poverty in 17 years Maine s future is the brightest it has been in decades there s more new businesses more money in your paycheck and better opportunities for our children And that s what it s all about the future of our state We have brought stability to state finances and implemented pro business pro growth policies across state government The incoming administration is taking on a state government that is vastly improved both structurally and financially from the one I inherited Therefore I have suggested to the new administration that now is the time to cut taxes by an additional 20 percent My administration lowered taxes by 20 percent for more than half a million Mainers Cutting taxes for our families has proven to be an excellent policy decision Despite this cut we are seeing higher revenue in almost every tax category sales and use tax individual income tax and corporate income tax We must always remember that the revenue we receive in taxes is due to the hard work of Maine s people Democrats stated they want to use surplus money to fully fund revenue sharing at 5 percent rather than the 2 percent the towns have received for the past 6 years However there is no guarantee your local government will cut your property taxes by one penny never mind dollar for dollar if revenue sharing is increased The people of Maine and the municipal balance sheets would be better off if the state cut income taxes and allowed municipalities to collect property taxes or service fees from non profits to supplement the local property taxes Everyone should contribute to the operation of local community governments I encourage you to pay attention to what happens in your municipality and in Augusta So many good people have worked much too hard to achieve our current prosperity We must avoid letting politicians drive Maine s finances and its economy back into the ground I promise you that I will be watching Sincerely Paul R LePage Governor PHONE 207 287 3531 Voice 888 577 6690 TTY www newsharon maine gov www maine gov FAX 207 287 1034 11

Report of the Selectmen To the people of New Sharon As usual 2018 was a busy year for your Select Board Providing town buildings for the future remained a dominant issue Following the defeat in December 2017 of a proposal for a combined town office fire house a new building committee began working on the issue Dennis McCourt chairs the committee which meets most Wednesdays at 6 p m at the town office The committee is trying to come up with a proposal that will keep town cost below 1 million The urgency of the buildings issue was highlighted by a heavy rainstorm on Dec 21 So many leaks opened in the roof of the town office that the town didn t have enough pails to catch all the water Several people including Selectman Travis Pond Clerk Collector Pam Griswold David Dill worked that day and through the weekend and on Dec 22 the town hired four employees of Pitcher Perfect Tire to work with them to remove ice from the roof and to try to seal new leaks Since December the town have covered sensitive machinery and historical museum items to protect them from the roof leaks Ice melting on the flat roof has caused leaking the past three winters Through the winter of 2018 19 as the temperature has moved quickly and often above and below freezing the leaks in the town office roof have become more frequent and more serious The situation was again serious on Feb 6 8 when the temperature rose above freezing and ice on the roof resumed melting The town office and roof will require serious attention and the town will need to employ a structural engineer to evaluate whether or not as part of the process to replace or rehabilitate the fire station and or town office The board conducted a written online poll of residents about new buildings Almost everyone replying wanted a new fire house with nearly half wanting a new building to house both the fire department and the town office More than half wanted a new fire house but wanted the town to continue to use the present town office For the third consecutive year the board was able to reduce the mil rate though the decrease was small to 16 mils from 16 1 mils 16 per 1 000 of assessed valuation Maintaining that level may be extremely difficult in 2019 as costs over which the board has no control ambulance subsidy waste disposal etc continue to rise and the RSU 9 budget request is expected to rise even more than in recent years The board filled five vacancies Tom Walker who has retired after 41 years from Maine Revenue Services where he worked on property tax issues was appointed assessing agent when the board decided not to reappoint Rob Stevens to the position He has a degree in public management Among other duties he supervised the Municipal Services and the Unorganized Territories sections He developed and wrote the dwelling software that is the basis for New Sharon s revaluation In 2019 he begin to convert the assessments from the dwelling program to the TRIO software that the town uses Converting the data will eliminate double entries on the tax rolls The board also appointed Pam Griswold to be freedom of access officer replacing Darlene Power who resigned Erin Norton to be general assistance officer replacing Mercy Hanson Daniel Meng to the historical committee replacing Power who resigned and Amanda Meader as town attorney replacing Frank Underkuffler who retired A sixth vacancy awaits filling because Joyce Alcorn has resigned as health officer The Select Board also appointed members to the planning board who are listed in the report of the planning board chair 32 www newsharon maine gov

Following several presentations by all sides the board voted not to endorse the proposed electricity transmission line between Quebec and Massachusetts The line would pass through New Sharon The town s refusal to endorse the project triggered a review by other towns on the proposed route to reconsider their support and several rescinded their support or even came actively to oppose the project put forth by Central Maine Power The board dealt with at least three roads and bridges issues The board engaged Dennis McCourt to snowblow the Route 2 bridge and bought an electric start snowblower for the job On March 29 Jersey Avenue was damaged seriously by a farmer from Industry who was hauling manure on the posted road The town had pictures and witnesses to the damage No repayment has been made The board also voted to establish a limit of 23 000 pounds per vehicle for all town roads and to require a performance bond from truckers who might exceed the limit Final approval from the state will let the New Sharon Crossroads Dunkin Donuts project proceed but the developer has not begun work on the site at Routes 2 and 27 New Sharon received from the Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursement for money spent to deal with the damage mostly debris removal from a heavy windstorm in October 2017 The reimbursement was for 7 909 08 The Select Board extended the marijuana moratorium to May 6 2019 awaiting final implementation of recreational marijuana laws by the state legislature The board continued to update technology in the town office partly to conform with state computer requirements and partly to replace outdated equipment In June the board was notified that the fees for recycling would rise by 93 percent to more than 140 000 a year The board approached Starks and Anson about joining their recycling consortium but those towns decided they did not have the infrastructure to take on New Sharon That leaves the town with no alternative to continuing the present recycling operation The state requires the town to have a recycling program On March 17 following annual town meeting the board elected Bob Neal as chair Neal s term expires with annual town meeting 2019 and he has chosen not to run for reelection Respectfully submitted Bob Neal Chair Lorna Nichols Selectwoman Travis Pond Selectman www newsharon maine gov 33
