Glenburn council adopts amended General Assistance ordinance, sets benefit maximums through Sept. 30, 2025
Summary
The Glenburn Town Council unanimously adopted an amended General Assistance ordinance (repealing and replacing Appendices A–H) to set new maximums effective Oct. 1, 2024–Sept. 30, 2025, following a public hearing under 22 M.R.S. §4305(1).
The Glenburn Town Council unanimously voted Sept. 26 to adopt an amended General Assistance (GA) ordinance that repeals and replaces Appendices A–H and sets new benefit maximums effective Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2025.
Councilor John Caruso moved to accept the amended GA ordinance and Councilor Maurice Day seconded; the three councilors present voted in favor and the motion passed (Councilors Frank Roma and Chris Cookson were absent). The change was considered under the public hearing authority cited in the meeting notice, 22 M.R.S. §4305(1).
The amended ordinance replaces the GA appendices that list maximums for eligible expenses; the meeting record lists the ordinance change as a repeal-and-replace of Appendices A–H with the new maximums to be in effect for the municipal assistance year beginning Oct. 1, 2024. The council did not record further modifications or separate amendments to the adopted appendices during the meeting.
Town Manager McClung recorded the procedural items on the agenda and the council approved the ordinance by formal motion. No members of the public addressed the council during the citizen input portion of the meeting.
The council’s adoption implements locally set GA maximums for the year specified; any administrative details about specific dollar amounts or category-by-category changes appear in the ordinance appendices themselves and were not included verbatim in the meeting minutes.
