Dedication_____________________________________
Chelsea Annual Report 2014
The Board of Selectmen dedicates this year's Town Report to the many veterans who have given selflessly and served our country in war time and in times of peace. It is with their courage, sacrifice and commitment that we can rest easily at night and be secure in our daily lives. They sacrifice so that we may enjoy the freedoms we all too often take for granted. The Board thanks these brave men and women for the security they provide and their families for the sacrifices they make. The Board hopes that all veterans serving abroad are soon reunited with their families in order that they can resume peaceful life at home.

CHELSEA TOWN REPORT 2014
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
Dear Fellow Chelsea Resident:
It is hard to believe that another year has passed! Over the last year, the Board of Selectmen (the
“Board”) (also acting as the Board of Assessors) and the Town has continued to make steady
progress.
Several significant legal issues were resolved over the past year. With finality of these matters,
the Town of Chelsea has closed a chapter in its history. The current Board continues to welcome
citizen input and provides opportunities for public comment. Pursuant to the new municipal
charter that was adopted by citizens at last year’s Town meeting, agendas and minutes of board
meetings continue to be posted and noticed. Decision items are deliberated in open and public
sessions, pursuant to charter and Maine law.
The Town finalized a new tax equalization program (or “revaluation”) that reestablished a level
playing field for residential and business properties. The Board also hired and has been working
with a new Assessors’ Agent who is a Certified Maine Assessor, Jacki Robbins. Jacki has
significant experience managing and overseeing local property taxes, assessing properties, and
administering tax-related programs. The hiring of an experienced Assessors’ Agent and
completion of the recent revaluation have proven critical to ensuring that Chelsea’s residents and
businesses are treated fairly.
Although there have been significant areas of improvement, there are still areas of concern to the
Board. The Board continues to struggle with making budget recommendations for Town
meeting. During recent years, the Board has tried to minimize tax increases by lowering or even
flat funding certain areas of the municipal budget. While this practice has helped somewhat to
ease the tax burden experienced by Chelsea’s citizens with respect to the Town’s operating
budget, other factors outside of the control of the Town have counteracted these efforts and led to
local property tax increases such as a decline in municipal revenue sharing, decreasing subsidies
and increasing school budgets in recent years.
Although the Town has “made do” in recent years with limited resources, it is likely that in
future years there will be areas of the municipal budget that will need to be increased. Of note,
maintenance of roads will likely require additional funding in future years if citizens want to
continue maintaining roads that are currently public. In addition, the Board believes that, in
future budgets, increased funding should be made for reserve accounts to help pay for future
capital projects to replace current buildings or other assets as they reach the end of their useful
lives.
Administration _______________________
CHELSEA TOWN REPORT 2014
More than ever, the Town needs citizens who are interested in serving on Boards and committees
to be engaged. There are several vacancies on municipal boards. There are several positions for
which no candidate will be named on this year’s ballot. It is not too late for persons interested in
being elected to a board or committee to successfully organize a write-in campaign. Citizen
involvement must continue to grow in order for the Town to maintain its current course and for
boards and committees to function healthily.
The Board takes this opportunity to thank the many citizen volunteers who have helped the Town
over the past year. Above all, the Board also thanks the Town Manager and the Town Office
Staff for their dedication and consistency in providing excellent service and aspiring to meet new
goals each year.
Respectfully Submitted,

CHELSEA TOWN REPORT 2014
TOWN MANAGER’S REPORT
Chelsea continues to make great progress in several key areas. Financially, the future looks
bright, our Fund Balance and Reserve Accounts continue to grow each year. A substantial
amount of roadway received much needed attention last summer. The improvement of roads
continues to be a high priority of mine. The receipt of a $1 million bond will assist in
completing several miles of needed road work. The tax collection process is improving. Better
and timelier collections allow us to obtain a maximum return on investments.
Socially huge amounts of information are available at our website: www.chelseamaine.org and
on the Chelsea Facebook page. Updates and postings provide residents with announcements,
board minutes, agendas and a meeting calendar. This, I believe, has helped to increase
transparency and instill a sense of trust in the current management of the town.
I would like to thank the Board of Selectmen, Planning Board, Roads Committee, Budget
Committee, Cemetery Committee, dedicated town employees and residents for making last year
the success it was.
While things have improved much more remains to be accomplished. I look forward to working
with all of you to accomplish great things.
Respectfully,
Scott M. Tilton

TOWN CLERK’S REPORT
To the Residents of Chelsea:
Another busy fiscal year is coming to a close for the Town Office and by reviewing the number

continues to grow.
The internet has made life a lot more convenient for those residents who continue to use Rapid

and trailers online; and for those who use the Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife website
(www.informe.org/moses) to purchase their sports licenses and register their boats, snowmobiles
& ATV’s.
As always, I would like to say thank you to the residents of Chelsea. It is a pleasure for Sue and

Superintendent’s Message Dear Citizens of Chelsea, The 2013-2014 school year has been a busy one for RSU 12 Schools. Throughout the district, the staff has been honing their skills and developing school-wide strategies in order to help all students succeed and to continue to increase student achievement. RSU 12’s weekly one- hour early release for RSU 12 students approved by the RSU 12 school board has allowed for valuable professional learning time for all staff throughout the district. We are already seeing the benefits of this consistent weekly hour. RSU 12 students have shown steady growth in student reading and math achievement since the formation of RSU 12. State testing from fall 2013 showed that students, on average, district-wide, exceeded the state average. These improvements are noteworthy in tough financial times. This is an exciting achievement for the RSU 12 community and a testament to the updated curriculum materials, new programs, intensive training, and the talented, dedicated staff in RSU 12. The RSU 12 communities should be proud of these achievements. Facilities improvements continue in RSU 12 despite an extremely tight budget. A five-year capital improvement plan is currently in development by the RSU 12 Facilities Committee. The Facilities Committee is exploring “energy savings performance contracting” in order to fund the five year plan and upgrade the facilities through savings from energy upgrades. This is a zero-based budgeting strategy that many school districts are using in order to improve facilities while being sensitive to the taxpayer. Goals this year for RSU 12 include improving the curriculum in order to align with the updated Maine Learning Results, refining the student intervention system, and updating the facilities. The recent withdrawal of the town of Wiscasset from RSU 12 will mean many changes in the future of RSU 12. The most significant change is the reduced cost to run the district. RSU 12 will run much more efficiently without having to fund the three schools in Wiscasset as the cost per student will decrease. RSU 12 citizens approved the proposed 2014-2015 RSU 12 school budget at the District Budget Meeting on May 20, 2014 at the Whitefield Elementary School. Despite a $467,000 loss in state subsidy, the FY15 budget maximizes programming while remaining fiscally conservative. The referendum on the RSU 12 school budget will take place on June 10th, 2014. It is our responsibility to the RSU 12 community to be transparent in our operations and in our vision for the future of RSU 12 Schools. You can learn more about our schools through our website, www.svrsu.org, by speaking with our staff, and School Committee, or by attending School Committee meetings. After serving as Superintendent of RSU 12 for less than a year, I have been very impressed with the education provided to the students of RSU 12. We will continue to improve upon the many, many strengths of our RSU 12 schools. I look forward to working with the Chelsea community to make this happen. Sincerely, Howard Tuttle Sheepscot Valley RSU 12 Superintendent
January 2015
To The Residents of Chelsea, Maine:
The thoughtful and careful leveraging of our resources and support for Erskine Academy made us a high performing school in 2012-13. The combined influence and efforts of our teachers, students, parents, and alumni has established for our school the sixth highest graduation rate (nearly 98% of our students graduate in four years) and one of the lowest dropout rates in the state. This achievement, along with our students’ three-year average scores on state mathematics and reading tests, has earned our school the letter grade “B” in the first year of Maine’s school performance grading system program, a grade not typical of most schools in our region.
A private school serving a public purpose, with 571 students in grades nine through twelve, Erskine is the second largest town academy in Maine and the only one to serve a completely voluntary student body exclusively on a school choice basis. As has been the case historically, 97 % of our students come primarily from eight sending towns; a small number, which now includes 13 international students, attend on a private basis. Therefore, our students come from primarily humble, hard-working backgrounds and circumstances to experience a school program that blends traditional values with contemporary programs and modern methods to become the most academically and personally prepared young people in the region.
The activities pursued by of our students and staff this past year are testimony to the vibrancy of the school community:
• Thirteen courses taught here for college credit by a first-class teaching corps has resulted in nearly two-thirds of seniors earning credits for a considerable savings in college tuition.
• The addition of the “Jobs for Maine Graduates” program teaches essential work seeking, training, and employment skills.
• Eighty-seven percent of the Class of 2013 is accepted into some form of higher education, many to the most selective colleges in the nation.
• A competitive robotics class and club were added and funded primarily by grants and financial gifts from our friends and alumni.
• For a third time, we brought nearly 250 area sixth graders to our school for a program of early exposure to high school designed to build their confidence for doing high school work.
• Our students have done a great deal of good, contributing literally thousands of hours of community service and raising a similar amount in dollars to aid those in need from nearby and afar, as far as Costa Rica, in fact.
• A 5th Annual Walk to Cure Breast Cancer Walk, with nearly 100% of our student body participating, raised in excess of $3000 for the Maine General Breast Care Center.
This year, as we do every ten years, we engaged a new cycle of accreditation through the “New England Association of Secondary Schools,” not only to earn quality assurance from this nationally respected organization, but to further improve our school and the student experience. Our process began with an intensive study of all major programs and operations and a reaffirmation of the school’s long-held traditional values. Placing equal value on scholarship, leadership, stewardship and relationships, we have articulated a vision of academic success for all students; created a climate that is safe, supportive, and hospitable to education; and cultivated responsible leadership and civic-mindedness in our young people.
We enthusiastically welcome and educate a substantial number of Chelsea’s high schoolers. The Chelsea families who have entrusted us to educate and care for their children these many years, energizes, encourages, and strengthens our resolves to provide the highest quality educational program possible and the conditions to inspire our students to their highest potential in school, at work, and within their communities. We are grateful for your confidence in and support for Erskine Academy.
Sincerely,
Michael McQuarrieHeadmaster

CHELSEA TOWN REPORT 2014
Annual Report Chelsea Fire Department July 2013 to June 2014
Residents;
Emergency Calls;
For the time period the department responded to 101 emergency calls 07/01/2013 to 05/14/2014
volunteering 576 hours of service on scene. Calls ranged from motor vehicle accidents structure fire
responses both in town and mutual aid brush and grass fires, fire alarm activations and several storm
related calls related to the ice storm in December 2013. Listed are a few of the types of responses the
department responded to for the time period
Structure Fires: 11
Public Service Assist: 11
Electrical wiring Problems: 15
Outside or Natural Vegetation Fire: 3
Fire Alarms malicious False Alarms: 6
Station Coverage: 3
Combustible / flammable leaks spills: 10
EMS Incident / Vehicle Accident: 34
Training;
Members continue to train on a regular basis on basic firefighter skills. Members logged 07/01/2013 to
05/14/2014 879 hours of training. Topics included Driver Training, Pump training, ladder drills and skills,
SCBA search and Rescue, Annual Maine BLS topics, elevator emergencies, Hazardous Materials Review,
wild land fire and behavior, ventilation, and several other basic firefighter topics. Thanks you to Paul’s Pick
Apart for donation of vehicles to train on basic vehicle extrication. Nine members attended an outside
class in May sponsored by Central Maine Fire Chiefs held in Augusta. A guest instructor was brought in
from Seattle Fire. Topic was Air Management and the SCBA air pack.
Other Activities/ Buildings / Apparatus;
Members this year donated hundreds of hours in outside activities. Several Members spent two days at
the Elementary School and the Montessori school teaching fire prevention topics.
We were fortunate to obtain a new 2005 5 ton forestry vehicle to replace our 1969 era truck from Maine
Forest Service. The truck was locally painted and lettered and placed into service by membership. Most
of the equipment such as the tank, pump, and other items were moved from the old truck to the new one
because they were in good shape and functional. Members added a 12 volt alternator for the emergency
lights, pump starter, electric hose re wind and radio. Several diamond plate cabinets were added for
Public Safety___________________________________
CHELSEA TOWN REPORT 2014
storage. A 12 gallon foam tank and foam system was also added to give the truck Class A foam capabilities.
Equivalent vehicles of this type new would cost in the $100K dollar range and due to the hard work of the
department the donation of the vehicle and local venders cost the town around $5000 dollars. Special
Thanks to Berry’s Automotive for painting the vehicle, Motor Supply for donating some of the paint, Dicks
Used Trucks and Equipment for their help CMT Tanning Supply who donated some diamond plate material
and Dennis Carrier for lettering the truck.
Members also spent time doing routine station work and continue to work on projects around the
stations. The bathroom at the Togus Rd station is functional as is the running water. We still need to add
the hot water heater, clean up and add a parking area, paint and finish some drywall. Once these items
are finished we anticipate the station to be useful and maintenance free for years to come for the town.
Tank 3 the 1978 GMC tanker was disposed of in the fall by the department and the town. The truck was
in need of some work and also the department didn’t have the room to house the truck any longer with
the new forestry unit being delivered.
Tank 2 our primary water tanker continues to respond to emergency calls. The tank is showing signs of
deterioration and is in need of replacement soon. The tank is 27 years old and homemade and has out
lived its expected life for the town. The department worked with Augusta Fire this fall to apply for a
combined grant to replace this truck through a federal program. As we write this they have just started
releasing funds for the projects throughout the county. We could hear on this grant soon and potentially
could save the town and fire department hundreds of thousands of dollars. The grant is a 95% to 5% match
to replace the truck and would benefit both the town and the City of Augusta.
Membership;
Membership continues to be average and the average age of the department is getting older. We are in
need of residents to step up and volunteer time to the department. Membership can train you to any
level of service you wish to perform. Not all members are willing or able to enter burning structures and
still play a vital role in providing a service at emergency scenes. We have one new member that joined the
department in October. We would like to welcome Dustin Gregiore to the department and his
probationary period.
Burning Permits;
The department issued hundreds of burning permits to residents this year like every year. Reminder that
Saturday Permits should be obtained at the Hallowell Rd fire station from 8:30 – 10 am each Saturday.
Weekday permits are harder to obtain unless snow covers the ground or its raining. All outside burning
must conform to all state laws and there is no burning of trash or other waste items even with a permit
only clean wood waste.
Camp fires for recreation don’t need a permit provided they are for recreation and are no bigger than 2 x
2 feet and conform to all outside burning rules. Camp fires can be revoked due to dry conditions, nuisance
conditions or burning prohibited material.
Please see town report for further information on burning permits.

Closing I would like to first thank the membership and their families for their dedication, hard work and
sacrifice they provide to their fellow neighbors. Without your neighbors volunteering we would be forced
to pay for service from another source.
Thanks to our mutual aid departments; Togus VA , Augusta Fire Department, Randolph and Pittston Fire
Department and other neighboring communities, the men and women of the CMCC who dispatch our
emergency calls and the law enforcement departments from the State Police and Kennebec Sheriff’s
Office whom we work so close with throughout the year.

The Kennebec County Sheriff’s Office continues to proudly serve the citizens of Kennebec County. The Sheriff’s
Office has a long history of service, dating back to 1799. Our agency serves many functions in the communities of
Kennebec County. In addition to rural patrol, the Law Enforcement Division provides many regional assets to our
communities including Drug Investigations, K-9, Dive Team, Accident Reconstruction and the Special Response
Team.
In 2013, Deputy Sheriffs responded to a total of 34,398 calls for service. We answered (656) calls for service
involving theft; (764) motor vehicle accidents with (8) reconstructions; (736) alarms; (319) domestic violence; (286)
911 hang-ups; (158) assaults; (177) K-9 calls and (731) providing assistance to other agencies. The Sheriff’s patrol
division conducted (385) school safety visits and made 7,273 vehicle stops.
During the past year, our Correctional Facility managed 3,152 inmates. The offenses committed by defendants
included everything from Burglaries to Homicides. Substance abuse and the proper treatment of citizens with mental
illness continue to be two primary concerns at the Correctional Facility. Despite significant fiscal challenges, the
CARA program continues to operate, serving as the only state-wide substance abuse treatment program.
Inmates at the Kennebec County Correctional Facility are required to work. Inmates that are considered to be a
risk to the community work inside the facility cleaning and cooking, while others are supervised on outside projects.
For every two days worked, one day is reduced from their sentence, resulting in a $697,594 bed day savings to the
citizens of Kennebec County. Throughout 2013, inmates worked 23,810 community service hours, valued at
approximately $178,576. Our inmates raised 46,448 pounds of produce for the inmate kitchen and area food
pantries in 2013.
We are committed to providing innovative programs to reduce crimes, assist victims, and to provide enhanced
public safety. I acknowledge the ever-growing opiate addiction problem and have committed to partnerships at the
Federal, State and Local levels to combat this problem. Our approach is aggressive enforcement, education and
treatment for those afflicted.
I will provide the 122,150 citizens of Kennebec County with progressive and professional Law Enforcement and
Correctional Services. I welcome any comments or suggestions which improve our service to the citizens of
Kennebec County.

CHELSEA TOWN REPORT 2014
2014 Code Office Report
The Code Office has transitioned into a Map and Lot System allowing others in the
town office as well as property owners the ability to review related lot information. As
historical documents are reviewed a duplicate copy is made and put into the related Map
and Lot folder, which can be very helpful when the property is sold or transferred to another
use.
The new Solid Waste Ordinance as well as the Junk Yard Ordinance has had some
opposition but Town Selectmen and other residents have seen some improvements in the
overall Town appearance. Voluntary compliance of property owners has been successful
in getting numerous properties to comply with the voter-approved ordinances but removing
junk vehicles has been the most time consuming. A few Compliance Orders with a set time
for the cleanup have been ignored or are pending, while others have taken corrective action
with only a 1st notice. Once the time had lapsed on a Final Order it is turned over to the
Selectmen so legal action can be taken to get the property into compliance.
This compliance procedure is followed when a signed complaint form is turned into the
Code office for any Town Ordinance violation, including the Junkyard Ordinance. The
selectmen have reviewed cases of noncompliance and imposed fines while issuing Consent
Agreements to allow a one-time extension to comply with Town Ordinances.
Subdivision applications were submitted by Logan Ridge and Stoney Creek making 15
new lots while increasing acreage in other existing lots. The Planning Board and DEP
allowed the extension of Stone Gate Crossing and the improvement to the drainage across
Logan Ridge Road as a condition of Stoney Creek’s approval. Stoney Creek developer built
a fire pond as part of the new development not as a condition, but knowing that future
subdivision may require fire ponds.
The Minimum Lot Size Ordinance (MLSO) has also been reviewed by the Selectmen
to determine the intent of the MLSO as new deeds are filed in the Town office. The MLSO
has an effective date of December 8, 1987 meaning any deeds prior to that date are Grand
Fathered (which are exempt from the MLSO). All deeds recorded on or after December 9,
1987 shall meet the MLSO standards. The Code Office has issued a few compliance orders
relating to the MLSO, stating the new deeds or a change of use on the property is in
violation of the MLSO. Property owners (past, present and future) should always do an
ordinance review to make sure your investment is sound. If you have any questions about
the Minimum Lot Size Ordinance or the Subdivision Ordinance, please call the Code
Office.

Dear Friend,
I hope this letter finds you and your family well. It is an honor to represent you in Congress and a pleasure to update you on the work I am doing in Maine and Washington.
You are probably aware that Washington is a very challenging place to get anything done these days. The partisan climate has kept many important issues from being addressed and even led to a shutdown of the federal government. Worst of all, it has created uncertainty for Maine families and the economy. It’s the last thing we need. Over the next year, I will continue pressing Congressional leaders to bring the focus back to helping people rather than advancing ideologies.
As difficult as it’s been, though, there are areas where I have been able to make progress on needed policy reforms. One has been support for local food producers. For decades now, federal agriculture policy has only benefited huge farms and commodity crops, not the kind of the diverse family farms we have in Maine. It’s time for that to change. With small federal changes, we can capitalize on the huge economic potential of the local food movement. I’ve introduced the Local Farms, Food, and Jobs Act to make some of those changes, and have been pleased to see many of these reforms gain bipartisan support.
Another issue is helping veterans who were sexually assaulted during their service. I’ve introduced the Ruth Moore Act—named after a Maine veteran who struggled for 23 years to get disability benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs after she was sexually assaulted while in the military. The bill would help veterans like Ruth get the assistance they need to recover from the debilitating trauma they suffered while serving the country. The bill passed the House and now awaits consideration in the Senate.
While policy in Washington is important, so is the work my staff and I do here in Maine. My office keeps close connections to Maine communities and their leaders to make sure we’re doing all we can to help them succeed. This work might include providing letters of support for federal grant applications, getting answers from federal agencies, or bringing national officials to our state to raise awareness about the good things being done here.
We also work with hundreds of constituents who have issues with federal agencies and programs. Not everyone knows that you can call your Member of Congress for this kind of thing, but it’s an essential part of my responsibilities and my commitment to the people I serve. Members of my staff are experts on issues ranging from veterans benefits and IRS questions to Social Security problems and passport inquiries. They can help you navigate the process, communicate with federal agencies, and, in certain circumstances, facilitate the expediting of claims. If there is an area where you need assistance, I encourage you to call my Portland office at (207) 774-5019 or go to my website, www.pingree.house.gov. Again, it’s a privilege to serve you in Congress.

Dear Friends:
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for allowing me to represent your interests in the
Maine State Legislature. I understand that the decisions made in Augusta have a direct impact
upon each Maine resident and no vote should be cast lightly. You can be assured I am working
diligently on your behalf.
The Second Regular Session convened on January 8th and committee work is in full swing. I
have resumed my role as the lead republican member of the Health and Human Services
Committee. We have a number of significant issues to consider, including many that were
carried over from the first regular session.
There is no doubt that this session will be a busy one. From government spending to welfare
reform to job creation, there are many important issues on our plate. As taxpayers, you deserve
to know your money is being spent wisely, so I will continue to fight against wasteful spending.
In addition, it is a priority of mine to make sure that public assistance is going to those who truly
need it.
As always, I welcome your ideas, comments and concerns. I appreciate the feedback I have
received so far and look forward to hearing from more residents throughout the session.
Sincerely,
Deb Sanderson

Dear Friends,
It’s been a whirlwind of a year! The District Attorney’s Office has seen big changes but the quality of the
work and commitment to justice has stayed as strong as ever.
While I respect and honor those who have served the District Attorney’s Office in the past, I can not imagine
a more dedicated and intelligent group of people than those with whom I have the pleasure to work. I encourage
you to visit us in our offices in Augusta, Waterville, and Skowhegan. While I could write glowing pages about each
person in the office, I want to at least be sure to introduce you to our new Deputy District Attorney, Fernand
LaRochelle. Fern is the former Chief of the Criminal Unit at the Office of the Attorney General. His wisdom,
experience, and patience influence everything we do. We are all grateful for the opportunity to work with him!
The focus of the Office this year has been “Smart on Crime.” We strive to turn around first time and low
level offenders while putting the most dangerous criminals in jail for as long as possible. Here are some examples:
One of the first decisions I made was to allow the US Attorney’s Office to prosecute pharmacy robberies.
These robberies were at epidemic proportions in our counties and a tougher approach was clearly needed. Longer
sentences are possible at the federal level than the state level. I am glad to see that the number of pharmacy
robberies has plunged. When law enforcement works together the results are more successful.
After the jury trial conviction of Havier Olmo for Class A, Aggravated Drug Trafficking in oxycodone, the
Office passionately sought the longest sentence possible, concluding that his extensive list of priors made
rehabilitation unlikely. The judge agreed and sentenced him to 10 years in prison, none of it suspended.
In contrast, Christopher Knight had a long list of burglaries (most outside the statute of limitations) but had
never before been convicted of a crime. After “the team” at the co-occurring disorders court (“CODC”) concluded
he was worth the risk of trying to rehabilitate, I agreed to a “good” sentence of county jail with a “bad” state prison
sentence hanging over his head. In general, I’m not in favor of short state prison sentences as this time can teach
people to be better criminals. If we can use an intensive alternative program like the CODC (which requires weekly
meetings with Justice Mills, counseling, drug screening and employment or school attendance) to turn defendants
into productive, law-abiding citizens, then we have been successful. Not to mention that, even with the intensity of
the CODC, it is still less expensive for taxpayers than the cost of incarceration.
Speaking of alternative sentencing, the Veterans’ Court in Kennebec County is thriving. It has grown to over
twice the size it was back in January of 2013. I learned about veterans’ courts when I was in the legislature,
sponsoring a bill for our own veterans’ court in Maine. Any of you who have watched the MPBN broadcast of A
Matter of Duty, fully understands the impact this court has had on the lives of veterans. Being a part of this amazing
program has shown me the true meaning of criminal justice.
Here are some alternative programs our office is pursuing with community partners: 1) a new alternative
program for first time OUI’s with a BAC of under 1.0 in Kennebec County; 2) a new alternative program for drug
related crimes in Somerset County; 3) a new group focused on high lethality domestic violence cases in Somerset
County; 4) a new use of Restorative Justice in sentencing when requested by victims; and 4) a continued support of
the alternative sentencing program in Kennebec County for those serving less than 10 days in jail. I am indebted to
numerous community partners for making all this possible for the people of Kennebec and Somerset counties.
We have taken a hard stance against domestic violence which has increased our success of victims
appearing at trial in high lethality cases. At the same time, we are giving victims control over their lives in cases
without a high lethality rating.
Our most serious and heartbreaking cases continue to be our child sexual assault cases. These always
create a dilemma as it can be difficult for the child to testify in Court, but we want to pursue the longest prison
sentence possible.
It is a privilege and an honor to work with you. Every day I am in awe of the hardworking people in our towns
and cities, law enforcement, the Courts, local nonprofits, attorneys, and others working to bring justice to the people
of Kennebec and Somerset counties.
Thank you,
Maeghan

unpredictable legal expenses have made budgeting annually for Legal Services difficult. The

build a reserve account up to an amount that would better meet Chelsea’s needs.)
