A Note to Lebanon Residents from Fire and EMS Chief Daniel Meehan, 8 30 15

A NOTE FROM FIRE AND EMS CHIEF DANIEL MEEHAN, 8 30 15

 

With a new chief comes new ideas. Many departments experiencing growing pains will see some members resign while still others will be let go. I understand that it is difficult for some members to think that change is good. But this is part of the process.  Staying status quo is not what’s best for the department and will not move the department forward.  Implementing these changes will take some time and will also take members who can adapt to change.
Dan Roy resigned months ago, saying it was time for a change for him.

Eric Neubert and I had some different ideas on how and where the department goes was part of decision. I would like to take this time to thank Eric for his dedicated service to the members, community and department.

Since becoming the Chief of the Lebanon Fire and Rescue a lot has happened.
All OSHA infractions at the Rescue have been addressed and corrected saving the town $1000’s. The $2000 billings from outside EMS communities have been dropped and we have staffed the ambulance.

I, for one, have seen change in my career, some good, some not so good, but in all, it is the members and service that I enjoy.  This being said, I do not expect any voids being open long, I am in talks with some very knowledgeable and talented Fire/EMS people who are also very interested in helping Lebanon Fire-EMS move forward. 

Respectively,
Chief Meehan

Infrastructure State Implementation Plan for Demonstration that Maine Complies with the Good Neighbor Requirements of Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard

 

 

 

08/28/2015 03:00 PM EDT

The State Implementation Plans (SIPs) are the federally-enforceable plans that identify how the states will attain and/or maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Department is proposing to amend the Maine SIP by amending the Ozone Infrastructure Plan which certifies to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that Maine's SIP fulfills the infrastructure requirements established in sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAA) for ozone. The CAA requires states to address thirteen basic SIP requirements, including demonstrating that their emissions do not interfere with attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS at downwind locations. This element is addressed in this revision of the plan. This plan will be submitted to EPA as a revision to Maine's State Implementation Plan. Copies of this proposal are available upon request by contacting the Agency contact person or on the DEP website at www.maine.gov/dep/rules/. Pursuant to Maine law, interested parties are publicly notified of the proposed rulemaking and are provided an opportunity for comment. Written comments may be submitted by mail, e-mail or fax to the contact person before the end of the comment period. To ensure the comments are considered, they must include your name and the organization you represent, if any.

Comments must be received before close of business Friday September 28th, 2015. Submit comments to:

LEBANON VOTE, NOVEMBER 3, 2015, SIGNATURES NEEDED FOR CITIZENS PETITION to CREATE A BOARD OF 5 SELECTMEN.

 

We, as a Town, a Community, are preparing for the

November 3, 2015 Vote,

Lebanon Maine Truth Seekers

would like to encourage all town residents to

GET OUT and VOTE!!

 

There will be many different IMPORTANT items on the November 3 Ballot, and you should all attend the Public Hearing to discuss all ballot question, scheduled for October 20, 2015 at the Lebanon Elementary School, on Upper Guinea Road.

Lebanon Maine Truth Seekers is circulating a Citizen's Petition that is in need of signatures.

 

This petition would ask that the Voters of the Town of Lebanon approve adding 2 positions to our Board of Selectmen, creating a Board of 5 members rather than a Board of 3 members.

 

There are a few reasons why this is being asked of voters.

1. The addition of 2 more Select Board Members would decrease the work load on Selectmen when Town Assessing, Accounts Payable, Permit Approval and other "hands on" jobs are required of them.

2. The addition of 2 more Select Board Members would then make 2 Board Members together for an evening out or a project NOT a quorum of the Board as outlined in Maine State Law, and allow a quorum to then be a minimum of THREE Board Members together, thus lessening the chances of an "illegal meeting" or a "surprise motion".

3. The addition of 2 more Select Board Members would make it a more difficult process for one person, or one group of people to gain outside control of a majority of Board Members.

 

We currently still need over 100 signatures, (total needed is 217 registered Lebanon voters), and we would like to pass this petition in to the Town Clerk on or before the Thursday, September 10, 2015 Board of Selectmen's Meeting for their approval of our petition to be added to the November 3, Election Ballot.

 

Please message us via Facebook and we will get to you,

OR you may e mail Lebanon Maine Truth Seekers at: lebanontruthseekers@Hotmail.com 

Thank you for your consideration.
