Councilor Scheckel moved; Councilor Hutchins seconded.

agenda and not October 16th.
5 Yes
Councilor Scheckel commented on her home property abutting Pennell’s property and indicated that
there have been questions about a conflict of interest. She does not believe that there is one and
believes that she is able to vote her conscience and does not believe she should recuse herself unless her
fellow Councilors feel she should do so.
None of the Councilors had any objections.
First Order of Business:
Public Comments of Non-Agenda Items – (limit 3 minutes per person)
Donald Whitney, representing the Historical Society asked if one of the locks on Pennell be changed to
allow them access to the building.
Ed Getting Getty asked if there will be public comment on TwinBrooks. Councilor Gellerson indicated that there would be updates only at this meeting.
Don Gordon Foss, Lewiston Rd. indicated that there have been major changes on the plans for the credit union project next to his project home and request a stop order so that abutters may be notified.
Town Manager Cabana indicated that George Thebarge will be looking into this and let them know.
Gary Foster gave a brief report on EcoMaine. He commented on their upcoming Green Symposium.
On Sept 26th there will be a biofuels presentation at EcoMaine. He commented that there was an
executive committee meeting discussing the audit and financials and gave an overview of their surplus
and some of the recycling issues and updates.
Councilor Sturgis asked about the various town’s colored trash bags versus paper bags recycling efforts versus pay per bag. Gary Foster indicated that there has been some discussion. There are various communities that have extensive recycling programs of their own.
Jerry Hanes, Twin Island Rd highlighted via a PowerPoint presentation some of the violations and
remaining problems on TwinBrooks. He also commented on the next steps and cited Chapter 402,
Article VI, Section 402.21 referring to the Town’s obligation. He also presented maps and aerial photos,
and photos citing the evolution of TwinBrooks over time, as well, as the setbacks, and problems that still
exist. He stated that there have been projects that have not been presented before the Planning Board.
James Monroe commented that one Councilor appeared to be surprised about an Oest Associates’ bill
at the last meeting. He indicated that it is not a bill, but an contract for upcoming oversight. He believes
that if this is a change in the contract he asked whether or not the Council be involved.
Councilor Gellerson indicated that the amount is under the $20,000 limit for the process that was
followed.
Susan Moran, Friends of Little Sebago presented some photos to the Council on the erosion and runoff
of TwinBrooks.
Frank Voilicec, summer resident of Little Sebago have been coming here for 43 years. He believes that
though he is a 6 months resident, he has a vested interest as he pays taxes. He cannot comprehend why
TwinBrooks cannot be brought into compliance. He has walked the property in the past and believes that
the violations are likely to still be there. He believes that the water quality of Little Sebago has been
declining.
Fran Monroe stated that she disagreed with the Oest Associates’ contract issue and believes that it
should be brought before the Council as it is a change in the contract and not the amount limit. She
asked if the project has been changed in anyway. She expressed concerns about the wording in the
section in the contract and believes that as written, more money can be spent and that the citizens will
not know what has been spent. She commented on the water main issue on Route 115 and believes that
no Councilor can act on their own.
Gary Foster stated that the violations are the results of confiscation of property rights that have evolved
over time. He commented that the Planning Board has in the past made decisions out of the scope of
their authority. He believes that there have been violations on TwinBrooks and not by them. He believes that this whole process has been a travesty.
Jerry Hanes stated that he disagreed with Gary Foster’s comments and cited example. He does not believe that those who oppose the issues of TwinBrooks are not trying to see it sold but to end a 2 ½ year process and believes that the Town needs to look at it comprehensively.
Councilor Grover stated that all issues and information be presented to the code enforcement officer
Second Order of Business:
Presentations: Public Safety live-in students (Travis Frith and Anthony Smith)
2 students who are volunteering were selected for the Gray Fire Department were presented before the Counciland will be attending SMCC’s Fire Service Program. As part of their program, they will work at the station and at present have passed the necessary requirements to assist the firefighters.
Report from the CEDC regarding Pennell
Jeannie Carpentier gave an overview of the CEDC work on the Pennell. Committee was charged to:
1Cost to build a new town hall. 2. Best method to renovate, repair Pennell and gave report to the
Council and the report has been posted on the Town’s website.
She gave an overview of CEDC’s recommendations.
1. That Pennell be used as the Town Office
2. That NewBegin Hall still be used for Town meetings and elections.
3. Reburbish the 1876 portion of the Pennell building.
4. That the Gray Historical remain in Pennell.
5. Develop a financial arrangement.
6. Sell the old Post Office building, current Town Hall, and Stimson Hall to defer costs
for Pennell.
7. The 2 parts of the building be created to meet the needs of town hall, historical
society and Council chambers.
8. Continue to have public forums on this project.
James Monroe indicated that he attended the meeting as an observer and believes that the group has done yeoman’s work. He asked about other options as this appears to be the only one presented. He asked about the high cost of a new Town Office. He stated that he made some contacts with realtors and stated the proposed cost is far higher than what was proposed. He believes that though it is high, it may be a viable alternative in comparison to the cost of renovating Pennell.
He also had issues about conflict of interest and appearance of conflict of interest, and the survey. He suggested the old Rite Aid building. The Historical Society and the Library may be more compatible. He also commented that at the past workshop Councilor Scheckel was vocal about no commitment for the Historical Society. He asked the Council to consider whether or not there needs to be a new Town Hall considering who is paying for this.
Don Hutchings of the CEDC, stated that James Monroe’s $300 per square foot figure is not accurate. He indicated that the group’s charge to come up with a recommendation and the group believes that the best option is to refurbish Pennell and to put this question on the ballot. Then, should the citizens vote against it, the Council come back and revisit other alternatives. The vast majority of people he has spoken to indicated that they want Pennell renovated.
Councilor Grover asked the group to explain the process
Don Hutchings indicated that Oest Associates provided a cost estimate between a new building and a renovated Pennell.
Fran Monroe asked about a breakdown of the base cost, and needs assessment. What will the population be 10 years from now and the amount of staff to support the Town’s needs. She indicated that the survey results are not included in the report. She believes that it was not an overwhelming approval for Pennell and believes that action is being taken with a small majority. She believes that cost projections include operation costs.
Councilor Sturgis indicated that renovations are bonding costs while the operation costs are in the operations portion of the budget. He believes that there is an offset from selling the other buildings to one.
She also asked about in-kind services. She asked what kind of impact there will be. Councilors Gellerson and Scheckel indicated that none and they have the same opportunity to bid.
She has issues with the conflict of interest in relation to this project. Councilor Scheckel indicated that her husband is employed by Oest Associates and does not believe there is a conflict based on her leanings on this issue.
Ralph Wink indicated that all the reports and research on this report were done for free. He stated that the base cost information was the information that he was able to put together but that complete information is available. He cited Appendix C, D, E, and F of the full report which is available. He commented on the needs assessment. He indicated that as a general rule 30% is for walkways, hallways etc. which is a generous number. He cited Appendix G, H has information on a floor plan that indicates that there is more space in Pennell that is needed. He believes that the consensus on the population in 10 years was estimated at 12,000.
Councilor Grover did not agree with that number and believes the population number is not important in the reporting.
Tom Delany clarified the number of occupants (employees) who will be located in the building. He stated that the number of employees is not tripling, but it is taking in to account the various employees who need private meeting spaces.
James Monroe believes that this is a rush to judgment on this issue. He believes it is more appropriate to engage an architect or engineer to create working drawings, thorough review of materials costs to be part of the election question. He believes it is a better use of the Town’s money to be more accurate on the question. He believes that authorizing a specific amount of money would be clearer.
Lou Mancini stated that historically the way James Monroe proposes the question is not the way the Town does business and believes that spending money to have a more accurate figure and the citizens vote it down is a waste of money. He supports the idea of the one question on the ballot. He believes that Pennell is resilient and is of interest to the Town since it keeps coming up as an issue over the years.
Councilor Gellerson asked the Council if the CEDC can communicate this issue and reporting to the public and is it within the scope of their charge.
The Council did not object.
Don Hutchings stated that they would like to see the Council charge CEDC to get the word out to as many of the Town’s citizens as possible. If there was some charge (IE: a TV presentation, flyers, information in the newspapers), the CEDC would contact the Town Manager to get and give figures on the costs.
Councilor Gellerson indicated that if the motion is approved, then they can give them this charge.
Interviews: Individuals for various boards and committees - None present.
Public Hearings: None
Third Order of Business: ORDERS
Item #025-09 To review and act upon approving a proposed application for a CMP Pole Location, located at Dunn Drive.
This action requires a majority vote after an opportunity for public comment.
Councilor Hutchins moved; Councilor Scheckel seconded.
Ordered the Gray Town Council approves the proposed application for a CMP Pole Location, located at Dunn Drive.
Councilor Grover asked if there are any issues about underground lines in that area.
5 Yes
Item #026-09 To review and act upon appointing a legal firm to represent the Town of Gray as its legal counsel. Sponsor – Town Council
This action requires a majority vote after an opportunity for public comment.
Councilor Sturgis moved; Councilor Hutchins seconded.
Ordered the Gray Town Council appoints Jensen Baird Gardner & Henry to represent the Town of Gray as its legal counsel for a period of three years. Said contract will be renewable upon expressed written consent of both parties for up to two additional years.
Councilor Gellerson indicated that the company for whom he works, and should his firm come up, he
will recuse himself.
Councilor Sturgis indicated that the suggested law firm has excellent municipal law expertise and the
lowest cost.
Councilor Grover also agreed and asked if the Town Manager had any comments.
Councilor Hutchins also agreed with the suggested firm’s qualifications
Councilor Scheckel does not agree with this suggestion and believes that Bernstein Shur is the best
choice given their qualifications and their fees are similar.
Town Manager Cabana believes that the Town needs a law firm with expertise in municipal law and that
they received 10 proposals. She also believes that accessibility, as well as, expertise is very important.
Councilor Gellerson agrees with this choice.
Fran Monroe indicated that the frequency of the need to contact them is also a criteria. She reminded
them about the costs for frequency. She is concerned about billable hours and that the Town does not
avail themselves of the MMA attorneys. She believes that the attorney in question was not consistent on
his positions and does not support this law firm for the Town. She stated that their responsibility is to
interpret the law and be upfront with the citizens and represent the Town.
Councilor Sturgis indicated that it is important to be fair and understand that the other party is not
present.
Jeffrey Hane Gerry Haines indicated that the law firm in question also represents TwinBrooks.
Deb Mancini, Shaker Rd, asked for the range for the bidders. She believes that Jensen Baird has the
institutional memory which is good for the Town. She believes that the Town Manager has been very
good at keeping the costs down and supports the recommendation.
4 Yes /1 No (Scheckel)
Item #027-09 To review and act upon making appointments to the various boards and committees. This action requires a majority vote after an opportunity for public comment.
Councilor Sturgis moved; Councilor Hutchins seconded.
Ordered the Gray Town Council appoints Jim Foster as a regular member to the Ordinance Review Committe for a term to expire August, 2011, Peter Thoits as a regular member of the Solid Waste Committee for a term to expire August, 2011, Brian Shedlarsky as a regular member to the Solid Waste Committee for a term to expire August, 2011 and Jennifer Dupuis as regular member to the Dry Mills School House Committee for a term to expire August, 2011.
5 Yes
Item #028-09 To review and act on an Order to call a Special Town Meeting for November 4, 2008 regarding Issuance of General Obligation Bonds to Pay for Renovations to Pennell Institute for a new Town Office Complex to be Voted on by Referendum Ballot. This action requires a majority vote after an opportunity for public comment.
Councilor Scheckel moved; Councilor Hutchins seconded.
Ordered pursuant to Article VIII of the Town Charter, that a Special Town Meeting be held on November 4, 2008, in conjunction with the Federal and State elections on that date, to vote by referendum ballot to issue general obligation bonds, in an amount not to exceed $2.4 million to pay for Pennell Institute renovations for the new Town Office Complex. Be it further Ordered that the Town Clerk be, and hereby is, authorized and directed to take such actions as are required by law to provide for notice of the same to be published and/or posted as required by law and to have absentee ballots ready for the special Town meeting as required by law.*
*Note: The full ballot question and explanatory note sections were read by Councilor Scheckel as part of the order.
Councilor Scheckel asked if the CEDC numbers be discussed in advance of the vote. She indicated that if this is passed, that a cost of living increase be figured in as it would be likely that it would be a year from the time of possible passage.
$200 square feet and add a contingency amount of 10%, to include office equipment and a possible kitchen plan = $2.44 million.
Councilor Hutchins agrees. Councilor Grover also agrees that asking for a bit more than needed and giving the unused monies back to the Town would be appropriate. Councilor Sturgis also agrees and believes it is also important to include the complete report from the CEDC to include the sale of the other properties to help eliminate the debt burden.
Councilor Gellerson suggests $2.1 million and believes that the final project could come under the $2.4.
Town Manager Cabana indicated that this is a proposed motion to help the Council and that they may not use it if they wish. She referred to the term “in an amount not to exceed” and that the contingent sale of the other properties can also be included. She commented on other bond project were issues arose and stated that there are always unknown. She gave an overview of the refund process should the project come under projected costs and indicated that the Council can decide what to do.
There was a discussion on bonded anticipation notes and the options. There were questions as to whether or not the unused money be put back into paying down the bond.
Fran Monroe indicated that the CEDC report costs included the base costs. Councilor Gellerson indicated that a kitchen and furniture was not included. Fran Monroe does not believe this is good practice. She commented on the $1.95 million has now been increased to $2.4 million and has concerns about this change.
Councilor Gellerson indicated that renovations can bring unanticipated costs and a potential refund is better than coming up short. Fran Monroe believes that this is not a good way to progress. Councilor Scheckel commented that if this project comes up short, it is not as easy to eliminate aspects of the project and having a contingency is the appropriate way to go.
Ed Getting Getty made a point of order as the bantering of this discussion is ineffective.
Deb Mancini agreed with Ed and thanked everyone for their efforts in this process. Thank yous need to go out before the constructive criticism. She agrees with the changes in cost of living and office furniture should have been included. She believes that the amount is sufficient and should be included.
James Monroe commented that there has been extravagance in the past and that the minimum should be done to get the job done. He believes that the motion should be amended to include the offset, the sale of the properties, and a provision to accept money from the Pennell Alumni. He used the term “extraordinary revenue.” He believes the motion should be all inclusive.
Councilor Gellerson indicated that there is a statement on Town property in the explanatory notes section of the motion. Pennell Alumni has indicated that they are willing to contribute. Councilor Scheckel indicated that it would be difficult to obligate them to a specific amount.
Councilor Sturgis indicated that the Town can accept donations from a specific group and it be specifically earmarked.
Fran Monroe asked what will be attached with the warrant. Town Manager Cabana indicated that the Town financial statement and the explanatory note. Fran Monroe indicated that the full report should be available. She commented on the various committees sending communications on Town stationary and believes it is inappropriate. She believes that it is the Council’s responsibility to oversee the committees’ communications.
Ralph Wink clarified that the CEDC figures do not include office equipment. He described the steps in the process and that the Council is the decision maker. The timeline includes a preliminary design (someone should be hired for this), and review/input, and following, a final design. These items will influence the numbers. Those who submitted information presented relatively solid figures. He believes that extra money needs to be well managed. He asked the Council to consider that the interior can be delayed and/or phased in and that can help to manage financial resources and expectations.
Don Hutchings agrees with Ralph’s comments and he is concerned that their quote includes contingency plan, but the Council has increased the amount. He stated that Town property will be sold and the profits applied to this project. This needs to be stated. He believes that $2.2 million is a reasonable increase of $300,000 of CEDC’s recommendations.
Fire Chief Plummer stated that this building should also be the Town’s emergency operations center for a major disaster. There should be a kitchen, a generator to help be prepared, and as designed, is not set up for this kind of thing. This has not been considered.
Councilor Grover stated that he was a member of the Historical Society in the past and is no longer. The report included Town Council instructions which he was uncomfortable with since there was no discussion and voted upon. The needs assessment states 10 years but the Town is borrowing for 30 years. The needs assessment should be for longer. He believes that over time the Town office space could go beyond into the first level. The Historical Society could end up on the second floor in the future. He supports the higher figure to be prepared for the unanticipated expenses such as changed building costs, one large meeting room, no office equipment, improved technology, fire prevention/protection equipment, secure areas between the public and the offices, replacement of the memorial
gardens, signage, and moving costs. Deferring projects is not the best idea.
He proposed a change to the Council to add a question to pay for the first phase. He stated that this may help make people more comfortable. He suggests that if Question 1 passes, then this question is not needed. If Question 1fails then Question 2 would go into effect.
Councilor Scheckel believes that it would be confusing to the voter. She believes that if Question1 as written fails then the group would go back to work to find out what the Town wants.
Councilor Gellerson and Councilor Sturgis agreed. Councilor Sturgis indicated that it is up to the Town to tell us by voting and leadership needs to be shown. The various groups have done their work and now the Council needs to do their work.
Councilor Hutchins asked what outcome would be achieved with this suggested question and believes that Question 1 as written should be voted upon. Councilor Grover believed that this would save time and allow further details.
Councilor Sturgis stated that the big picture needs to be looked at. There are many people ready and willing to assist. He commented that everyone is affected by property taxes including councilors. Grant information is coming in and will be pursued.
5 Yes
Councilor Gellerson recommends that the CEDC is to get all the information out to the community and not to exceed their $5,000 budget and that they present a plan to the next meeting.
Councilor Scheckel stated that a fixed amount for the sale of the other properties could confuse people if the value of the properties is very different.
Councilor Grover wants to be sure that the CEDC presents the information and not take a position. He also indicated that their charge be done as an order.
Councilor Scheckel does not believe this is necessary.
Councilor Hutchins suggests that the CEDC communicate with the Council or Town Manager on their plans to get the information out.
Councilor Sturgis believes that this is a continuation of the original order. Councilor Scheckel asked is there are any actions that the CEDC might do/say that may have legal implications.
Town Manager indicated that the CEDC are also part of the citizenry and their actions would not thwart the vote.
There was a discussion on the advocacy issue and that some things are inevitable.
Fourth Order of Business: ORDINANCES:
Item #029-09 (First Reading) To review and act upon proposed amendments to Chapter 401 (The Subdivision Ordinance of Gray) by replacing it in its entirety with a new ordinance based on a model published by the State Planning Office.
This action requires a majority vote after an opportunity for public comment
Councilor Scheckel moved; Councilor Hutchins seconded.
Ordered the Gray Town Council forwards the proposed amendments of Chapter 401 (The Subdivision Ordinance of Gray) by replacing it in its entirety with a new ordinance based on a model published by the State Planning Office to the Planning Board for a public hearing and further orders that the Planning Board reports back to the Council.
Councilor Grover indicated that he would like to submit questions to George.
He commented on Page 11 that arterial streets list Portland Rd and Lewiston Rd, but not Main St.
George Thebarge indicated that they are trying to clarify what the Planning Board calls an arterial. Also, speed is a factor in the determination.
Councilor Grover commented that 401-402 combined changes is 200 pages of law and believes that changes of this substance should go to referendum and proposed wording.
Councilor Hutchins does not support any amendment to the motion as there has been enough time for this. Councilor Scheckel agrees with Councilor Hutchins as there has been much input from various people. Councilor Gellerson also agrees and believes that the average citizen will not read it. Councilor Sturgis also agrees and commented on all the efforts that the groups have done and that it is part of the Town’s Charter to do this.
Councilor Grover believes that the April draft was not on the website but did obtain the information. He believes that doing this by referendum helps address the controversial issues.
5 Yes
Item #030-09 (First Reading) To review and act upon proposed amendments to Chapter 402 (The Zoning Ordinance of Gray) by reorganizing the current Zoning Ordinance to make it more consistent and adding new procedures and standards for Planning Board approval of conditional uses and site plan review.
This action requires a majority vote after an opportunity for public comment
Councilor Hutchins moved; Councilor Scheckel seconded.
Ordered the Gray Town Council forwards the proposed amendments to Chapter 402 (The Zoning Ordinance) by reorganizing the current Zoning Ordinance to make it more consistent and adding new procedures and standards for Planning Board approval of conditional uses and site plan review to the Planning Board for a public hearing and further orders that the Planning Board reports back to the Council.
5 Yes
Fifth Order of Business:
Reports from the Council Chair: Due to time, tabled to next meeting
Reports from the Town Manager: Due to time, tabled to next meeting.
Update regarding CDBG process
George Thebarge stated that an engineering design for the sidewalks and underground lighting
has been done. Improvements will stop before the fire station since the status of the property is
in question. Each business will have handicap accessibility, but needs to go to DOT. He gave
an overview of the process of the contract administrators etc. He would like to get the 3 business
facades completed by this Fall.
Councilor Gellerson asked if the grant money can be used for Pennell. George Thebarge
indicated no, but grants can be applied for this. He suggests applying for a grant for future
sidewalks in that area.
Councilor Grover commented that some citizens have concerns about the safety of brick
sidewalks. George Thebarge indicated that brick is the most durable and most cost effective.
Town Manager Cabana asked George to describe the Council’s involvement. He gave an
overview of the various parts that will require their involvement.
Councilor Scheckel asked for monthly updates to better answer people’s questions. She asked if
there is any architectural review board. George indicated that he is able to do this and was
prepared to show them the suggested plans.
Update regarding revision of Street Construction Ordinance
Councilor Gellerson asked when the rewrite will begin. George indicated that there are extra
monies and after 401 and 402 completion, this will begin.
He supports the ad hoc committee idea that Councilor Gellerson suggested as this will help
address major policy issues and come back with recommendations. This group should be
balanced. He suggests 7 people on the committee.
Councilor Scheckel believes that the potential ad hoc committee would be special interests. It
should consist of other people and has concerns about this. George believes that sometimes a
person with strong interest and passion, if they are fair, there can be balance on the committee.
He suggests specific questions/criteria in the interview process to create this. He believes that
citizens’ participation who is interested in the Town and not their own interest, is good.
Councilor Grover asked George to cite an example of this success. George cited Falmouth as a
good example. He would work with this group and offer recommendations. Councilor Grover
asked that the Chair create the wording for this group. He also asked about street numbering.
Update regarding Twinbrooks
Town Manager Cabana gave an explanation as to why Doug Webster and George Thebarge are
here.
Doug Webster indicated that a letter written to the property order updating the changes of the
May 20th letter. The letter stated that the violations of that letter had been met. He indicated that
there are people who believe that there are still violations. He stated that they will bring a consultant to review the issues in totality and to bring recommendations.
George Thebarge indicated gave some examples of a past experience he has handled in the past and indicated that this issue is typical of some long standing use and that past history is a bit unclear. He indicated that they can do a thorough review and that the Town Manager and he do a task order to do this.
Councilor Gellerson believes that there is no closure on this issue at this point.
Town Manager Cabana indicated that this process would take a month to help the Council with a recommendation to help bring closure.
Councilor Sturgis supports this process. He has many concerns about the environmental impact in particular. Councilor Scheckel supports the idea of getting a report from an objective point of view for closure. Councilor Hutchins also agrees.
Jerry Hanes Gerry Haines was asked to show a particular photo from his presentation for further discussion and comment. Jerry and Doug Webster gave their observations.
John Redlon suggests that the lake association be involved in this. Councilor Gellerson asks that people give George Thebarge a chance and report back to the group.
Jerry Hanes Gerry Haines stated that some final decisions have been made by the Zoning Board and past CEOs.
