Announcements:

The May Planning Board is cancelled due to lack of an agenda.
Next meeting is June 14th.

Due to the required trainings, the office will be unable to complete vehicle registrations after 3 pm on Monday and Wednesdays. We are hoping this will be a short term situation, until otherwise noted plan your trips accordingly.

o Town Office will be closed Monday April 17, Patriot’s Day; May 9 Election; June 13 also Election

There are several crucial dates for the upcoming RSU #3 Budget

EMAIL REQUESTS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND WILL NOT BE HONORED. Ballots will be processed and sent as soon as they become available.

o Last day to accept an Absentee Ballot request is Thursday June 8, by 5 pm.

o All ballots must be received by June 13, at 8 pm to be counted! So be sure to return them in sufficient time!

o FYI it is taking a very long time to receive the mailed Absentees that have been sent out to the requestors, and the same for returns. So please send them back as soon as you have voted to ensure they are received in sufficient time to be counted!!!

o If you have not registered to vote you may do so at any time before voting, including Election day. You may also choose a party (if you are currently unregistered or unenrolled in a party currently) at that time.

From the Town Clerk:

It’s that time of year again! Starting on October 15 your dog(s) need to be licensed for the ensuing year, by January 31. On February 1 fines will begin, and they will be $25 per dog.  Please be sure to stop by to register soon! You can do this in the office, through the mail (please include a check, rabies information, if necessary, and a self-addressed stamped envelope), or online at: https://www10.informe.org/dog_license/ You will be able to pay by credit card 24 hours a day!  The online service is only available through January 31.  All fines and deadlines are set by the State of Maine and cannot be waived locally. If you no longer have your dog please contact the office so it can be removed from the listing.
