Commissioners join Maine Development Foundation 2-1, make Dark Sky appointment; dispatch resignations accepted
Summary
Oxford County voted 2-1 to join the Maine Development Foundation (fee $425), appointed Tony Carter to the Dark Sky Initiative board, and accepted resignations from two dispatchers; Deeds Register said training would be available to all employees.
Oxford County commissioners voted 2-1 to join the Maine Development Foundation after a discussion about value and cost; Commissioner Lisa Keim opposed joining at this time, citing tight budgets, while Commissioners Turner and Millett supported a trial membership at a $425 fee.
The board appointed UT/Airport Supervisor Tony Carter to the Dark Sky Initiative board with Administrator Zane Loper as his proxy and adopted a resolution concerning airport grant funding. Deeds Register Cherri Crockett told commissioners that training and resources from the development foundation would be available to "all employees, not just department heads or supervisors." The board also accepted resignations from Dispatchers Kira Slone (effective June 18) and Caitlin Cutchin (effective June 19). An executive session with RCC Director Geff Inman preceded a note that a retention survey would be sent to dispatch staff.
The minutes do not include dollar amounts for membership beyond the $425 fee mentioned nor a roll-call vote breakdown beyond the 2-1 result.
