Call to Order Chairman Taft called the meeting to order at 5:00 P.M. 2. Pledge of Allegiance The Board recited the Pledge of Allegiance. 3. Approval of Minutes; April 8, 2014 and April 15, 2014 Motion was made by Vice-Chairman King for approval of the minutes from the April 8, 2014 Board Meeting; 2 nd from Selectman Hoyt. 5 approve/0 oppose Motion was made by Vice-Chairman King for approval of the minutes from the April 15, 2014 Board Meeting; 2 nd from Selectman Hoyt. 5 approve/0 oppose 4. Correspondence and Other Pertinent Information a. Flood Insurance - FEMA Maps Update Town Manager Berkowitz had no updates at this time. b. Tim Cook, Lake Region Towing - Towing Rotation List Tim Cook, owner of Lake Region Towing, submitted correspondence to the Board asking several questions regarding the Police Towing list. Question 1) Why is there a Windham based towing company on Bridgton s primary rotation list? The driver may live in Harrison, but the main terminal is located in Windham? Question 2) Why are companies being added to the rotation list without checking qualifications? Buying a tow truck/car hauler does not mean the company is qualified to operate it. Question 3) Why is any company on the primary list unless they can consistently provide a 20 minute ETA (estimated time of arrival)? Keeping our officers tied up for extended periods is unnecessary. The Board opted to turn this issue over to the Police Chief and Town Manager for review and create a draft policy for Board consideration. Police Chief Schofield reported that there is a rotation list and the same procedures have been followed for many years. Big Kahuna Café; Victualer License Withdrawal Chairman Taft reported that the Town received correspondence from Jean McCarthy, sole owner and proprietor of The Big Kahuna Café. She requested that her application for a Victualer s License be withdrawn. The license fee is in the process of reimbursement. 5. New Business a. Permits/Documents Requiring Board Approval 1.

Update of CDBG Funds/TIF Funds for Town Hall and Depot Street; Anne Krieg Director of Planning, Economic and Community Development Director Anne Krieg reported that in response to the BOS discussion at their April 8, 2014 meeting, she spoke with Cumberland County Community Director Aaron Shapiro on April 11, He indicated the following: The Cumberland County Community Development office will not permit Bridgton to switch funding from Depot Street to the Town Hall. The town committed $250,675 in CDBG funds to the Depot Street project in its formal submittals to Cumberland County and HUD. Construction will begin the 4 th week in August and will be completed by mid-november. Bridgton committed funds to this project in 2012, 2013 and again in We re in the official public comment for We can t change it now. Additional TIF funds may be added to the budget. The Town Hall project is a new project beginning in 2014, with limited public input on the use of CDBG funds towards the renovation; we cannot backtrack and use previous funds for a newly created project for To repeat, we can use some TIF funds as I have indicated in my previous memo; however, as noted above, we have committed to this in our community development planning, so if the TIF vote fails at Town Meeting, the project must still be constructed. To review the numbers: Estimated costs Design & Engineering contract awarded and active $30, Construction Management & invoice review (addendum to existing contract) $15, Construction $256, Contingency 30% $76, Total project estimate $378, Identification of funding sources: 2011 CDBG Appropriation $45, CDBG Appropriation $20, CDBG Appropriation $185, CDBG Appropriation $0 Town Appropriations $0 Sub total of above $250, Project cost $378, Shortfall to be covered by TIF funding if approved $127, Page 2 of 11

3 11. Old Business f. Update of CDBG Funds/TIF Funds for Town Hall and Depot Street; Anne Krieg (continued) Motion was made by Selectman Hoyt for the following To see if the Town will vote to appropriate up to the full amount of the annual allocation from the Moose Pond Land Trust Fund for a period of up to five (5) fiscal years beginning in FY 2016 to service the remaining debt to be authorized by the 2014 Town Meeting to cover a portion of the costs related to the stabilization project of the Town Hall? The Board of Selectmen recommends a YES vote. 2 nd from Selectman McHatton. 5 approve/0 oppose Motion was made by Selectman Hoyt to appropriate $18,000 from the Moose Pond Land Trust Fund that had not been designated and apply it to the town hall renovations; 2 nd from Selectman McHatton. 5 approve/0 oppose Motion was made by Selectman Hoyt to reduce the FY 2015 budget by $50,000 (to reduce the CIP renovation of town hall); 2 nd from Vice-Chairman King. 5 approve/0 oppose Motion was made by Selectman Hoyt to direct the following warrant article to Annual Town Meeting: To see if the Town will authorize the Select Board to borrow up to $225,000 for a maximum of five (5) years at an interest rate not to exceed 5.5 % for the stabilization project at the Town Hall on North High Street, the debt shall be serviced by the appropriation of the annual allocations of the Moose Pond Land Trust Fund for up to five (5) fiscal years beginning in FY 2016? The Board of Selectmen recommends a YES vote. 2 nd from Selectman McHatton. 5 approve/0 oppose Director of Planning, Economic and Community Development Anne Krieg reported that in response to the April 15, 2014 memorandum on CDBG funds for Town Hall and the request to use TIF funds, please accept the following as further explanation. If the BOS agrees as requested by staff to place a warrant on the June 2014 Town Meeting for consideration of expending an upset limit of $128,000 in the TIF funds, please note: The original application (attached see Section 2.06) for the TIF indicated that expenditures in excess of $50,000 would need approval by referendum or at Town Meeting. It is recommended the vote take place as a separate warrant article at Town Meeting. This allows staff or another appropriate person to present the article and explain the TIF to residents and thus be present to answer questions prior to the vote. I will work with the Town Clerk to prepare the language for the article if the BOS is amenable to the request. Motion was made by Selectman Hoyt to place a warrant article on the June 2014 Town Meeting for voter consideration to expend an upset limit of $128,000 of the TIF funds for the Town Hall; 2 nd from Selectman Murphy. 5 approve/0 oppose Page 3 of 11
