.PROGRESS REPORT ON THE RENNOVATION OF THE ALFRED RICH (FOGG) HOUSE

FOR TOWN OFFICE SPACE - March 2007

It has been a year since Town Meeting 2006 authorized up to $100,000 be spent ,in rehabilitating the historic Alfred Rich House (usually referred to as the Margie Fogg House) into Town Office space. There will be a pictorial presentation before Town Meeting, but w:‘ve added a written report here for a more permanent record of this project to date.

Progress since that time has been phenomenal.. The community has gotten behind the project in 1,000 ways, including the help of dozens of hardworking volunteers, generous support from area businesses and the muscle and skills of Maine’s 133’d Construction Battalion. It has truly been a project that shows the type of Community spirit for which Brooks is known.

What has been done since last March?

Engineering plans drawn and approved by State Fire Marshall. Foundation drainage installed. New cement floor in basement. New shingles installed on roof. All supporting floor joists replaced with new 2x12 hemlock. Hardwood floors carefully taken up to be reinstalled. All lath and plaster stripped out and replaced with drywall Spray foam core-bond insulation installed. New oil tired hot water baseboard heat installed. Fire resistant records room added. Energy efficient windows installed throughout. All first floor walls sheet rocked and painted. A security/fire alarm system installed Wrap around porch added

Hopefully we will be in the “new building” during the summer of 2007. Again, we would like to thank townspeople for their support with this project and invite everyone to stop in and check out the progress! ! ! !

The Dr. Rich House (aka Fogg House) crew

Dear Fellow Residents of Brooks,

Areas of significant accomplishment during another active year in Brooks town government are as follows:

* In April 2006, Brooks was notified that its Ct mmunity Development Block Grant application to the State of Maine for Housing Assistance bad been awarded $300,000. Much more in.Sormation can be found on the town web si . e.

e The town web site http://brooks.govoffice2.co\& continues to be a source of information about town government with minutes, agendas, ordinances, policies, and much other information kept ’ up to date by Eric Frerking. Thank you Eric!

0 After an overwhelming vote at the March 2006 town meeting to restore the Fogg House to become the Brooks town office, volunteers led by the indefatigable Jane McLaughlin have committed thousands of dollars worth of material and labor to make this historic building look like new. There will be a grand opening later tbis year. Thank you, to all the manv volunteers who are making this possible.

* After a Department of Environmental Protect review of our transfer station, much work was done to clean up the transfer station and make certain that all related-paperwork was updated. The town received a glowing report from D.E.P. at the end of 2006. AfIer caretully examining the potential costs of door-to-door garbage pick up for residents and the cost of maintaining our transfer station up to D.E.P. specs, we are maintaining our transfer station.

l Many improvements were done in Brooks cemeteries this year. New chain fences were installed and roadwork and drainage were done in the Kinney Cemetery. Students spent a day this fall raking and cleaning. An MBNA grant was obtained to clean and repair some of the old cemetery stones.

8 Brooks business owners were invited to a Selectmen’s meeting to share their perspectives about the strengths and weaknesses of doing business in Brooks. All think Brooks is a special place! Our town web site will soon be listing Brooks’ businesses and linking to their web sites.

This is a brief summary of a very busy year. We thank you for the opportunity to serve a community filled with unsung volunteers and people who truly care about their fellow man and invite you to attend any or all Selectmen’s meetings. Thank you to all.

Respectfully submitted:

Selectpersons, Town of Brooks

Planning Board Report for the year 2006

Prepared by Heather Quimby

The Planning Board Members during the year 2006 were Steve Littlefield, Duke Simoneau, Heather Quimby, Roxy Hall, Dale Thomas, Arthur Hildebrant, and Paul Lawrence. We worked very well together this past year.

Over the last y :ar the Board has: m Worked with 2 community members to subdivide their lsnd m Overseen and guided major land developers m Gone to 3 separate educational opportunities l Helped subdivision questions get settled l Approved 2 construction works on Randall Pond m Brought Subdivision Ordinance up to date n Worked with CEO Randy Hall to bring shore dwelling houses in to

line with State standards Over the next year the Board will:

* Research the new State standards for Shore land Zoning and incorporate them into the current Town of Brooks Shore land Zoning Ordinance

* Research the need for a Rental Property Ordinance l Continue serving the town with the guidance of the

Comprehensive Plan and State standards. All meetings are open to the public and any person interested in the affairs of the

town is welcome to attend. Meetings are held the 2”d Mon. of every month at 7pm in the Town Office.

The Fire Dept would like to start by thanking the tax payers of .’ Brooks for your continued

support to the Fire Dept. Some have donated to our car wash, others have sent donations through

the mail. All support is greatly appreciated. You’ll notice that the Fire Dept is asking a little more in

there budget this year. We currently have 5 sets of interior a&x% gear that can be .used for .interior

attack on structure fires. Without this gear we can not do interior attack. If we use gear that is not

approved, either the firefighter can get hurt badly, the Dept of Labor can fine the town of Brooks, . or both. We have 4 new firefighters that are taking classes and working their way toward interior

attack, but without this gear, that is being requested, they c&t do interior attack. We are also

asking for funds to replace 4 pagers. We currently have 5 p::gers (minitor 2) sitting on my desk

broke, these pagers are ten to fifteen years old. They are constantly getting sent out for repair

leaving the firefighters without a pager and not knowing if or when there is a call. The rest of the

budget is pretty much the same ai last year. I am currently looking for a 2M1 line pumper, probably

mid 80’s, to replace the 1965 pumper that no longer meets the needs of this town. It is non-

compliant. The pump does not meet the annual pumps test anymore. If we play our cards right we

think we. can get a mid 80’s pumper for a donation or under $lO,OOO.OO. We are still working. on

grants. We are expecting to put in for the Fema grant, MMA grant, and forestry grant this year to

help purchase equipment. There has been a few complaints on the Bum Permits. Here it is in a

nutshell and approved by the Forest Service. We handout bum permit’s the day of the requested

bum and- not before. During the week it is after 5 pm. On weekends its all day. All pert-nits are issued depending on the staffing of firefighters and weather conditions. If you can’t get a hold of

Harold Saucier, Jeff Archer, or Roscoe Kenney for a permit you can get it through the Forest

Service online. The way that we are dealing with bum permits is working good. We are keeping

our out of control grass or brush fires to a minimum. Other town Fire Depts. that have stores or

town offices that hand out permits have problems because they are getting handed out when they

shouldn’t be such as bad weather, not enough firefighters around or just handing out to many at

one time. Feel free to contact the Fire Dept. with any concerns on this or any other issue. Our goal

is to continue to move the fire department fonrvard, keep our community safe and with your

continued supipbrt we will. At the end of the report you’ll see the 2008 to 2007 call outs and

training hours.

Thank You

Sincerely

Brooks Fire Dept. I.. !

Waldo County Sheriffs Ofice Annual Report2006

To the Citizens of Waldo Countv. I -

Accompanying this report you will find statistics for your individual Towns regarding the Law Enforcement Activity performed by the Waldo County Sheriff’s Deputies. You will see a different format due to the fact that we have employed a new Computer Aided Dispatch and Law Enforcement Records system part way through the year. We like the new reports better as they are much easier fo read and offer far more ‘information for both you the public and us in law enforcement. You may also see that our activity may actually be down some in many of your towns. This is quite likely due to our Resoume Management Agreement with the Maine State Police, By working together with the Maine State Police and other local and state agencies, we are better able to coordinate responses to calls and spread out the workload, enabling of&em from all agencies to provide a better quality service, quicker response times, and minimize the need for additional personnel which ultimately saves tax dollars. OfficeJs out in the field are better able to investigate and follow up on criminal complaints, bringing them to conclusion, and apprehending the violators where before we were often timesjust “putting out fires” and moving on to the next,

The Jail population continues to exceed the capacity of the jail, however with the opening of the new Lincoln-Sagadahoc, Two Bridges Jail, along with the new York County Jail, we are able to board out our excess inmates where prior to, we were forced to jam them into ourjail which caused a crowded and unsafe environment. While this is a good temporary alternative to a new facikty, we will still need to continue to look for a long term solution. We will be continuing to look for this solution with the assistance of local leaders in the county in the upcoming year. Our

hbom to the No and South face similar problems, creating opportunities for coitaboration in finding the solution. Ultimately this problem belongs to all of us and wit1 require us all to resolve it. Our continued work in corrections with innovative programming such as the Restorative Justice Reentry Program, VOA Pra-trail and Post Conviction Programs, Day Reporting, Substance Abuse Counseling, Community Resolution Teams and Restorative School Discipline are just but a few programs that we are attempting to use to break the cycle of criminal behavior in

-individuals and ultimately reduce the jail bed needs here in Waldo County.
