Kennebunk told to align local outdoor-lighting rules with Maine’s LD 1934 by October
Summary
Chair Tony Dater reported that LD 1934 requires the town to comply with state public outdoor lighting requirements by October; Linda Miller Cleary said the committee had offered to review the town ordinance, but Town staff will perform the comparison.
Tony Dater reported that LD 1934, 'An act for Responsible Outdoor Lighting,' requires Kennebunk to comply with the State of Maine public outdoor lighting requirements by October. Linda Miller Cleary said she had moved that, in an advisory capacity to Town Manager Chris Oster and Bryan Laverriere, the committee would compare the existing town ordinance with the state law and make suggestions to bring them into compatibility. At the May 14 meeting Tony reported that the Town Manager and the Town Engineer would instead take care of that comparison themselves.
The minutes do not record a formal committee vote on ordinance changes. The discussion was framed as an advisory/technical review, with Town staff now identified as the primary actors for ensuring compliance with the state statute and any necessary ordinance updates.
The committee did not record deadlines beyond the October compliance target stated by Tony, and no specific amendment language or fiscal impacts were discussed at the meeting.
