April 25, 2024 PUBLIC NOTICE: UPDATED TOWN WARRANT

The Board of Selectmen met again during a Special Board Meeting on April 24, 2024 to continue their review of the proposed draft ordinance for the regulation of golf carts usage on the island.

This followed a public hearing on April 17th as well as the input from several people via e-mail and additional comments received during this special board meeting.

The printed draft ordinance labeled Article 48 contained in the recently mailed Annual Report has been replaced with the proposal that was approved by the Selectboard on April the 24th.

The latest proposal is contained in the final approved warrants articles posted on the town website and distributed to subscribers of the town and LICA ListServs.

Additional copies of this revised golf cart regulation proposal will be available at the annual town meeting on Saturday, May the 4th.

April 19, 2024 THE LONG ISLAND WELL & SEPTIC SURVEY IS NOW ON LINE

The Town of Long Island 2022 Comprehensive Plan identified water supply as the top concern to the community. In the wake of the devastation from recent storms, the need to sustain our single source aquifer is now even more apparent.

In order to address this challenge, the Ground Water Quality Committee is conducting a water supply sustainability study to update the island’s existing groundwater data. The study is funded by a grant awarded through participation in the State of Maine’s Community Resilience Partnership.

The first step in this study is a well and septic system survey that involves you. The survey will ask a number of questions about your well and septic system and will take about 10 minutes to complete.

March 21, 2024 STATE OF MAINE MAJOR DISASTER DECLARATION

The President has granted a Major Disaster Declaration for the State of Maine triggering the release of Federal funds to help individuals and communities recover from the storm damages incurred between January 09, 2024 thru January 13, 2024.

Attached are fact sheets on the Declaration, the FEMA Individual Assistance Program and the FEMA Individuals & Households Program (IHP).

The Town will be working on its own Public Assistance programs with FEMA to repair damages to public property.

Individuals impacted by the two storms will need to work through FEMA directly, and not through the Town.

Please note the caveat from FEMA regarding the IHP program that it is not a substitute for insurance and cannot compensate for all losses caused by a disaster. If you have not already done so, you should consult with your current insurance carrier regarding coverage for any damages that your property incurred.

Additional information regarding the application process itself will be posted as it is received.
