TOWN OF BRIDGTON

Notice of a Public Hearing – CDBG Funds

The Select Board (BOS) shall hold a public hearing on a possible modification to the proposed and existing Community Develop-ment Block Grant (CDBG) funding projects for HUD Fiscal Years 2015 and 2016. The hearing shall take place at their regular meeting on May 24, 2016, beginning at 6:00 P.M., located in the downstairs meeting room in the Municipal Office. The purpose of the meeting is to hear public comment on the modification. The proposed modification is whether the 2015 funds appropriated to the property addressed at 55 Main Street to demolish the existing building and construct a public parking lot to serve the area can be re-directed to the 2016 year. This delay accommodates the owner’s needs. The funds would displace the funds for the construction of a new bathroom at Salmon Point which would then be directed to the current year to be spent, as this is an active project. The BOS is expected to take action at this hearing to direct staff to proceed with either project and also forward the town’s decision for funded projects, if amended, to the Cumberland County Community Develop-ment Office, take other action, or, to take no action.

For more information, contact Anne Krieg, AICP, Bridgton Director of Planning, Economic & Community Development, in person at the Municipal Offices at 3 Chase Street, by phone at 207-647-8786 or by e-mail: ecodevdir@bridgtonmaine.org

The Board of School Directors Recommends the Amounts Set Forth Below:

Total AppropriatedTotal raised  (and district

(by municipality): $ Amountassessments by municipality):$ Amount

Town of Bridgton:$7,415,536Town of Bridgton:$6,938,840

Town of Casco:5,127,049Town of Casco:4,797,463

Town of Naples:6,306,984Town of Naples:5,427,693

Town of Sebago:2,145,719Town of Sebago:2,007,699

School DistrictSchool District

Total Appropriated:$20,995,288   Total Raised:$19,171,695

Explanation: The District’s contribution to the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12, as described in the Essential Programs and Services Funding Act is the amount of money determined by state law to be the minimum amount the District must raise and assess in order to receive the full amount of state dollars.

Article 14: Non-State Funded Debt Service: To see what sum Maine School Administrative District No. 61 will raise and appropriate for the annual payments on debt service previously approved by the voters of this District for non-state funded school construction projects and non-state funded portions of school construction projects in addition to the funds appropriated as the local share of the District’s contribution to the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12.

The Board of School Directors Recommends $1,805,097.

Explanation: Non-state-funded debt service is the amount of money needed for the annual payments on the District’s long-term debt for major capital school construction projects that are not approved for state subsidy. The bonding of this long-term debt was previously approved by the voters of the District.

Article 15: Additional Local Funds: (Written ballot required). To see what sum Maine School Administrative District No. 61 will raise and appropriate in additional local funds (Recommend $4,780,812), which exceeds the State’s Essential Programs and Services funding model by $4,409,349 as required to fund the budget recommended by the Board of School Directors.

The Board of School Directors recommends $4,780,812 for additional local funds and gives the following reasons for exceeding the State’s Essential Programs and Services funding model by $4,409,349:

1.$457,653 is the Teacher Retirement piece at 3.36% that was previously paid by the State.

2. Co-curricular and Extra-curricular activities: The State has supported an average of 10% Statewide; M.S.A.D. #61 receives about 9%.

3. Additional staffing district wide: staffing above the EPS minimums in the following areas: teachers, clerical, educational technicians (permanent substitutes), guidance and administration and seven workshop days per teacher and four workshop days per educational technician are not covered under the EPS formula.

4. Substitute pay: The State allocates half a day per student. This does not cover long-term absences due to lengthy medical leaves for long-term illnesses or for maternity leave where substitutes are paid at a higher rate.

5. Operations/maintenance of seven (7) District facilities.

6. Transportation: (includes special education transportation). This amount would encompass late buses, summer school, bus driver workshop days and our bus safety program.

7. Special Education: This additional amount is partly due to year-old student information, summer school, scheduling and reduced financial support at the Federal and State levels.

8. Technology: This includes the District initiative to provide laptops to every student grades six (6) through twelve (12), (of which grades seven (7), eight (8) and teachers grades seven (7) through twelve (12), are paid by the State); make computer labs available at the K-5 grade level and to support technology integration into the core learning areas including, English, Math, Science and Social Studies.

Explanation: The additional local funds are those locally raised funds over and above the District’s local contribution to the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12 as described in the Essential Programs and Services Funding Act and local amounts raised for the annual payment on non-state funded debt service that will help achieve the District’s budget for educational programs.

ARTICLES 16 AND 17 RAISE FUNDS FOR OTHER PROGRAMS SUPPORTED BY THE SCHOOL BUDGET

Article 16: Community Use Of Facilities: (Written ballot required). In addition to the amount in Article 15, shall Maine School Administrative District No. 61 raise $50,000 in additional local funds to keep District facilities open for community and other programs on Saturdays and school vacations, which sum exceeds the State’s Essential Programs and Services model by $50,000?

The Board of School Directors recommends a “YES’ vote for the following reasons: The cost to keep M.S.A.D. #61 facilities open for community and other uses on Saturdays and school vacations is not included in the State’s Essential Programs and Services funding model.

Explanation: The additional local funds are those locally raised funds over and above the District’s local contribution to the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12 as described in the Essential Programs and Services Funding Act and local amounts raised for the annual payment on non-state funded debt service that will help achieve the District’s budget for educational programs.

Article 17: Food Service Program: Shall Maine School Administrative District No. 61 raise $100,000 in additional local funds in support of the Food Service Program?

The Board of School Directors recommends a “YES” vote.

ARTICLE 18 SUMMARIZES THE PROPOSED SCHOOL BUDGET

Article 18: Total School Budget Summary: To see what sum Maine School Administrative District No. 61 will authorize the Board of School Directors to expend for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017 from the District’s contribution to the total cost of funding public education from kindergarten to grade 12 as described in the Essential Programs and Services Funding Act, non-state-funded school construction projects, additional local funds for school purposes under the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 20-A, section 15690, unexpended balances, tuition receipts, state subsidy and other receipts for the support of schools.

The Board of School Directors recommends $29,378,898.

ARTICLE 19 AUTHORIZES A TRANSFER TO THE CAPITAL RESERVE FUND

Article 19: Capital Reserve Fund. Shall the School Board be authorized to transfer $250,000 from undesignated fund balances at the end of the 2015-16 fiscal year, to the Capital Reserve Fund and to expend said funds upon express authorization of the District voters?

The Board of School Directors recommends a “YES” vote.

ARTICLE 20 RAISES FUNDS TO EXPEND FOR THE ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM

Article 20: Adult Education. To see if Maine School Administrative District No. 61 will appropriate $599,328 for adult education and raise $342,585 as the local share; with authorization to expend any additional, incidental, or miscellaneous receipts in the interest and for the well-being of the adult education program.

The Board of School Directors recommends that the District raise $342,585.

ARTICLE 21 AUTHORIZES THE SCHOOL BOARD TO EXPEND UNANTICIPATED REVENUE

Article 21: Expenditure of Unanticipated Revenues: Shall Maine School Administrative District No. 61 be authorized to expend such other sums as may be received from federal or state grants or programs or other sources during the fiscal year for school purposes provided that such grants, programs or other sources do not require the expenditure of other funds not previously appropriated?

The Board of School Directors recommends a “YES” vote.
