Joint Agency Subcommittee Budget Reviews
DATE:
February 27, 2012
The Auburn and Lewiston City Councils have established a Joint Agency Subcommittee made up of
two (2) Councilors from each city. The Subcommittee will report back to the full Councils with its
recommendation with regard to the FY 2013 funding allocation for each agency.
This year, the format for the agency budget reviews will follow a strict half hour (30 minutes) time
slot for each agency. The attached schedule reflects the times assigned to each agency over a two day
review (Thursday, March 8th and Wednesday, March 14th).
The format for the 30 minute time slot should:
Focus on upcoming goals for the next fiscal year and how the funds requested benefit the
two communities (5-10 minutes);
Highlight significant elements of the budget presented (5 minutes); and
Question/Answer time (15 minutes).
Budget submissions due to my office by March 1st should include:
A transmittal letter;
A balanced detail budget (2013) with prior year budget (2012);
Estimated expenditures for 2012;
Actual 2011 expenditures; and
A detailed personnel services sheet showing each position funded in 2012 and proposed
2013 salaries.
Final Note: With the new focus format, all material that you would like presented needs to be sent to
my office by March 1st. Hand outs at the budget workshop are discouraged.

Joint Interagency Budget Committee
City of Auburn Council Members
City of Lewiston Council Members
Dear Councilors and Committee Members:
I am pleased to submit the Airport's proposed annual budget for Fiscal Year 2013.
The proposed budget reflects the fiscal constraints of the airport board. Please note the
operating budget subsidy paid by the cities has been kept to a bare minimum, only making
capital improvements that are critical to safety and to continue the growth of the AuburnLewiston Municipal Airport. Also, please note that in this budget, for the third year in a row,
the airport has projected an increase in revenues and an overall decrease in the requested
subsidies that will be provided by the Cities of Lewiston and Auburn. This shows that the
airport is diligently working to increase revenues and lower operating costs, while still
providing the required services to the communities.
Even in these tough economic times our airport continues to grow. During this last
year we have continued to see an increase in traffic, especially for the business community.
The airport businesses continue to bring good paying jobs to the community. Businesses at
the airport added 20 net new jobs this year. In addition, we are in the process of negotiating
additional leases of both aviation and non-aviation use areas that will bring more lease
revenue to the airport and is expected to bring another 10-20 jobs to the airport once
complete.
At this time the airport does not have a scheduled airline service, which often creates
enough revenue to allow the airport to function financially independently. We do however
have a fantastic location for business traffic that continues to increase in operational growth
rate over the last five years. Even without airline service, we are the third busiest airport in
the state, surpassing the operations of most of the commercial service airports.
Last year, thousands of companies and individuals used this airport to enter the local
communities. Our airport enjoyed over 65,000 operations last year. We have numerous daily
freight service flights, to include UPS, freight and financial organizations. Our revenues are
at an all time high due to this success. However, this increased growth creates usage
problems.
Phone: (207) 786-0631
Fax: (207) 782-3024
+ e-mail: manager@flytome.com
We are involved in a plan to expand the main runway and improve the safety areas.
This construction is slated to happen in the next few years. This federally funded project will
allow us to more safely and efficiently handle the aircraft traffic we support today and allow
for modest future growth. Investing smartly in the airport and making some much needed
capital improvements, starting with the runway extension and safety area improvements, will
lead to continued growth, accompanied by aviation and business development at the airport,
thereby continuing to increase airport revenues and lessoning the two cities budget
contributions.
Please consider this:
"A mile of road will take you a mile, a mile of runway will take you anywhere".
Also, please keep in mind that the airport is an important segment of the
transportation infrastructure that provides connectivity for communities in the
Auburn/Lewiston area that assists to attract businesses and visitors to the region.
I hope that you will find our proposed FY 2013 budget in line with the goals of the
cities and approve our budget in its entirety.
Sincerely,

L/A Arts Is Essential

Mission Statement: To inspire and engage a vibrant community through arts and
culture.
Vision
The vision of L/A Arts is to enrich the lives of people in our community by sponsoring
the partnerships, programming and experiences of the arts in all forms. By integrating
the arts and culture into the fabric of the community, L/A Arts helps to create a more
attractive and economically vibrant community. L/A Arts ensures that a wide variety of
arts opportunities are available to all in our community and works with businesses and
other arts and cultural organizations to bring awareness of these activities; creates
opportunities for community members across generations to participate in many
different forms of arts; enriches the lives in our community by facilitating and nurturing
arts efforts and initiatives; and provides opportunities for high quality arts experiences.
Who We Are
L/A Arts began in 1973 as LPL Plus, a program established by the trustees of Lewiston
Public Library. Within a few years, the Auburn Public Library joined the program and it
became known as LPL Plus APL. In the early years, volunteers and library staff
presented an impressive series of arts and humanities programs including concerts,
foreign films, art lectures and public policy discussions. Gradually the organization
developed programs to bring artists into the schools in the two cities. In 1988 the
organization officially became known as L/A Arts.
L/A Arts is the designated local arts agency for the Lewiston-Auburn twin cities.
Lewiston and Auburn are the second largest urban area within the state of Maine. Over
the years, L/A Arts has earned local, regional and national recognition for its model
cultural programs in education, performance and community service. Each year, the
organization presents a performance series as well as a free summer concert series,
and maintains a strong Artist Residency Program within the local schools. Over the last
few years, L/A Arts has developed an increasing visual arts presence in the downtown
area within a number of galleries.
Currently L/A Arts strives to reach its mission of bringing the arts to the Lewiston/Auburn
and Greater Androscoggin community (60,000 people) through the following initiatives:
Business leaders have long understood the value of strong and viable educational and
cultural opportunities in their communities. Most companies also recognize their unique
responsibility to return something of value to the people of the community. Beyond
simply providing entertainment or diversion, the arts are emerging to play and
increasingly important and well-documented role in virtually all facets of education, as
well as economic development efforts, community building and downtown revitalization.
There are always diverse conditions and incentives, but cultural and educational
opportunities for executives, employees and their families are now a tremendously
important factor in a companys or an individuals decision to relocate to a community,
or even to stay there.
Lewiston/Auburn is at a crossroads, with shifting demographics and necessary
economic development at the core of the issue. If we are to attract and infuse the
community with necessary new businesses, young professionals with families, and
opportunities for our current youth and community to thrive we must focus on the quality
of life, educational opportunities, and opportunities to strengthen the community through
engagement. The arts and all that they foster are at the heart of this necessary
evolution.
L/A Arts commitment to the cities of Lewiston/Auburn is and has been long term
and will continue to be so. We believe in this community and the power of the arts
to be a catalyst for growth and stability. If we as a community can come together
in true collaborative spirit together will plant trees under whose shade we may
not expect to sit but that the generations to come will.
L/A Arts Support to the Cities of Auburn and Lewiston:

What your support generates from us and how we leverage it.
The minimum dollars generated and leveraged by L/A Arts through their work and
collaborations this past year $196,035.00, a four times return on Lewiston/Auburn citys
dollars.
L/A Arts expected annual operating budget for FY2012 will be $474,404.06. In addition
to that we are expected to administer in excess of $247,777.92 in Federal and State
grants (LEAP).
L/A Arts operates out of rented accommodation and has 4 f/t staff, 1 p/t staff. In FY11
we estimate we generated in excess of a further 65 paid contracts in our community.
Our annual ask from each city represents approximately 6% of our operating
budget but is crucial in leveraging the remainder
Arts in Education (Auburn & Lewiston)

L/A Arts has brought in an additional $50,000.00 in funding through sponsorships
and grants to support the part-time Arts in Education Directors salary and
residencies in both cities. These monies were divided equally between both
cities, even though we did not receive funding from the Auburn school
committee. L/A Arts believes and national studies show that quality Arts in
Education is critical for all youth and we are committed to all youth in both
communities.
The Arts in Education Branch of L/A Arts is dedicated to utilizing the strong
academic, social, and artistic value of best practice arts in education, in support
of the Lewiston/Auburn school community it serves.
In partnership with all of the Lewiston/Auburn schools, L/A Arts brings
residencies in multiple artistic disciplines (Dance, Theater, Music, Poetry, Film,
and Visual Arts) in integrative and relevant ways to school academia,
reaching approximately 5,000 students and 350 teachers per year. The in-school
residencies consist of instruction from a professional teaching artist who is
an expert in their respective artistic field, in collaboration with classroom
teachers, who partner along lesson planning, applicable implementation of
lessons, and connections between academic and artistic curricula.
A full curriculum for each of the artistic disciplines supports L/A Arts programs,
which adheres closely to the Maine State Learning Results for the Visual &
Performing Arts, as well as National Common Core ELA and Social Studies
standards. These outcomes provide the learning objectives and conceptual
and pedagogical framework for the learning. In meetings prior to each
residency, teachers and administrators of partnering schools meet with teaching
artists and leadership of L/A Arts, where the programming is mapped out along
the academic needs of the school.
L/A Arts also has a strong assessment process for analyzing its impact within
schools. L/A Arts believes strongly in having each student assess, articulate
and express the understanding of their studies in every class. In every
residency, L/A Arts has a formal observation process that the Director of Arts in
Education implements in the evaluation of teaching artists. Finally, post
assessment reflective meetings with school staff occurs at the end of each year
around the definition of best practices in future collaborations.
In the classroom, L/A Arts establishes inquiry-based, experiential, and childcentered environments to allow students the opportunity to explore their learning
in opened ended ways. These lessons challenge students to critically think and
problem solve through embodiment, oral language, improvisation, and hands
on art making and research. Instruction across multiple modalities of
learning will provide differentiated environments to deepen the learning, where
students create art, read, write, and speak to apply their understandings. In this
vital work, L/A Arts seeks to deliver on its goal of developing of a joy and
internalization of life long learning, in each student it touches.
Using the contextual themes and history behind works of art brought into, and
made in the classes, students will analyze and express themselves in a social
context (ex. bullying, conflict, aesthetics.) chosen particular to the needs of
the school community, and students personal life experiences. Each
residency has opportunities for sharing, where students display and/or perform
their work for an audience from the school community and/or invited guests. In
addition to giving students a platform to showcase their artwork, each sharing
includes a talk-back afterward to discuss social themes and learning
outcomes which took place in the performance and throughout the residency.
These dialogues and experiences deepen their personal connection to
subject areas, heighten their social awareness and empathy, and engage them

One of the key elements in the Creative Economy and attracting new
businesses to any community is the quality of education that is offered. If
there is the perception that the schools are failing, that they offer little
quality arts opportunities for children, companies are less likely to
relocate. At the last Riverfront Planning meeting one of the consultants
stated that Whole Foods would not come to this community because of
the education level of the community at large here. Successful
communities value the arts as a critical part of a childs education, as
necessary as reading, writing, and math.
Plan: To develop our arts in education programming and funding sources to
become a leader nationally, enhancing the quality and quantity of arts
education received by youth in our community, making it possible for them
and the community to be more successful.
Art Wall Project- $13,000 (400+ hours and expenses given to the project)
Public arts promote civic stewardship, cultural vibrancy, creativity,
aesthetic excellence, and appreciation-of-place through the
enhancement of public spaces using the arts.
Public art refers to artwork that has been planned and executed with the specific
intention of being exhibited in the public environment. Civic statuary such as
monuments and memorials are perhaps the most recognized forms of public
art. However, the definition of
public art now, in the twenty-first century, is
constantly shifting and evolving. Not only do artists consider the physical
placement of their work in public space, they also, just as critically, take into
consideration the social, cultural and historical contexts in which the art work is
situated. There is great interest, on the part of many artists, in fostering
community involvement and civic collaboration during the process of creating
public art.
Community leaders looking to improve public spaces and revitalize civic
infrastructure often identify public art an integral part of the equation. A
public art master plan developed in conjunction with regional planning
efforts offers ways to address cultural and physical improvements within a
region and a method to better define a communitys assets. Including
public art as a development consideration encourages an exploration that
helps define elusive elements of revitalizing a community. (Maine Arts
Commission)
Plan: To foster more public art in Lewiston and Auburn and the requisite funding
to support the work.
Community Gallery
The Community Gallery is provided as a venue for community-based,
developing artists of all ages to share their work and process with the
community at large. L/A Arts is committed to supporting visual artists of all
ages and stages of their career in developing their artistic voice.
Gallery 5
Plan: To re-establish Gallery 5 and maintain a much larger Art Space that not only
exhibits high quality arts, potentially houses touring exhibits from the Farnsworth, but
also operates as a space to present poetry slams, small musical groups, lectures and
more that fosters a larger arts community, experiences in and patrons of the arts and
the notion that downtown Lewiston/Auburn is a thriving, happening place to be, a
desirable place to live.
Not all economic impact is directly commercial. The spending necessary to produce and
present a musical performance remains the same regardless of how many people show
up to enjoy it. The purely production impact as measured by dollars flowing from the
organization to its employees and vendors is only the most direct measure of economic
impact. There are at least three additional impacts that must be considered to
appreciate fully the importance of nonprofit arts and cultural organizations to New
England. (New Englands Creative Economy: Non-Profit Sector Impact-September
2011)
Sounds of Summer Series-$13,879.00(Auburn Festival Plaza Concerts and Art

Walk Concerts) L/A Arts raised funds through sponsorships to support these
concerts
Artists Booked for 2012 Sounds of Summer & Dufresne Plaza:

Don Campbell Band
Brittany Haas & Lauren Rioux
Maximum Blue

Michele Choinere

L/A Artwalk-$3,000 (Staff time, staffing artwalks and planning and set-up) a minimum
of $50,000 was generated income to local business over the 5 artwalks. Fuel saw a
25% increase of sales on Artwalk Nights. This was not exclusively found on Lisbon
Street where the increase was the most dramatic but Da Vinicis saw at least a 10%
increase in business. L/A Arts is one of the key partners in the Artwalks facilitating
performances in Dufresne to enhance the Artwalk experiences, with both our galleries
participating and lending other resources where needed.
This is visitor attraction impact. Those who come to enjoy a museum or ethnic fair or
historic site spend money on related businessesfor food, lodging and other shopping
and entertainment. To the extent that they draw visitors from away, New Englands
nonprofit arts and cultural organizations contribute to the broader regional economy as
destination attractions. (New Englands Creative Economy: Non-Profit Sector ImpactSeptember 2011)
Plan: 1. To obtain funding to do a cultural assets assessment to position to seek
necessary funding to do comprehensive creative economy planning for the
community.
2. Establish and produce the River Festival in the next 2-3 years to be an
annual arts and culture festival focusing on both communities with the
river as the center of it all.
Mainstage Series: $34,050.00 L/A Arts sought grants and sponsorships to support this
series to strengthen the community as a whole through the exposure and experience to
the arts. These expenses are also supported by ticket sales. We are focused on arts
and cultural offerings of a nature that are not being presented by other organizations
within the community. These offerings increase the quality of life and enhance the
perception outside this community of Lewiston/Auburn having a rich cultural fabric, thus
promoting economic development. We also know that when there are performances
that local businesses of all sorts benefit: restaurants, hotels, and shops by bringing
audiences into our communities.
L/A Arts Season 2012-2013

Lewiston/Auburn International Film Festival (LAFF): $2000.00 (Staff time,
ads, etc.)$50-75,000 was generated in income to the local economy. L/A Arts
partners with LAFF to bring LAFF to the Lewiston Auburn and outreach
statewide, we provide volunteers and marketing support. Last year 1000 people
attended the festival and positively impacted the economy in restaurant
business and retail sales, as well as the perception of Lewiston/Auburn outside
our community.
By contributing to the overall quality of place of the communities where
they are located, arts organizations help attract new residents and new
businesses. (New Englands Creative Economy: Non-Profit Sector ImpactSeptember 2011)

Plan: 1.To bring city officials, arts and cultural organizations together to foster
real and positive collaborative relationships to leverage funding to foster
Creative Economy strategies. `
2. Make the case for and support the development of a performance
space that holds 700-800 people. We have many 300-400 seat spaces
but nothing that is that size and that is in good working order. The desire
is to bring performing artists to the community that can not be brought at
this point be because the price point is too high with our smaller
performances houses and to have a space that works for many
disciplines. The only space that truly works in town for dance
performances and that is a 300 seat house is Schaeffer Theatre at Bates
College.
Festival of Arts and Lights: $2000 of expenses and generated roughly $7000 of
sales for artists and restaurants.
L/A Arts in collaboration with L/A Magazine and Captive Elements Art House On
Saturday, Dec. 10, from noon to 5 p.m., downtown Lisbon Street was filled with holiday
cheer. The first Festival of Art & Lights featured 14 locations and 38 high-quality
artisans selling jewelry, scarves, pottery, wood working, fine art, lamps, photography,
wreaths and more. There were activities for children, such as snow painting, weatherpermitting, and snowflake making. Santa was on hand for photos. This is to be an
annual event growing and flowing over into Auburn. Artists were charged no fees to sell
their work.
By attracting, serving, and nurturing individual artists, these organizations are building
the sort of creative, problem-solving human capital in the region that will be its greatest
asset in building a strong economy for the 21st century. (New Englands Creative
Economy: Non-Profit Sector Impact-September 2011)

LEAP Budget: Note there was actually a deficit of $16,723.31 but that amount was
carried over from the previous year as the program has started late and thus we had till
September to spend those funds.
L/A Arts
Foundations Line 4040- has increased due to funds brought in by collaborations to
support specific programming ie: Bates has brought in $10,000 in funding to support the
Aquilla performances in the community.
Artist Fees Line 5020-has increased as we are presenting more and the artists fees are
larger.
Payroll Expenses Line 6230-has increased due to the need for extra staffing to support
increased programming. Our performances and community initiatives have tripled since
we last submitted. We are still, even with this increase doing a lot with a little.
Health Insurance Line 6270-has decreased as staff is acquiring their insurance through
other family coverage through spouse of family member coverage.

TALKING POINTS FOR BUDGET PRESENTATION 2012 - 13
Great Falls TV continues to provide services to the greater L/A community

in 2011 - 2012. The station has been operating since November of 1999 from a location
at Central Maine Community College. CMCC has been an integral partner providing
space at a reasonable cost. We wish to continue our mission to provide essential services
in the upcoming fiscal year for 2012-13. GFTV provides programming on 3 channels
through the Time Warner cable system. Referred to as a PEG station which denotes
public, educational and government programming to the L/A community. Our channels
can also be viewed by subscribers in Lisbon and Sabattus. We are establishing new
programming all the time and provide services to volunteers who wish to develop skills
and programs to share with the community. GFTV also provides programs from a variety
of resources including a shared service with other access stations across the state and the
country. Last year we developed a website designed to deliver government meetings to
people who do not subscribe to Time Warner. The website has been well received and is
utilized by an appreciative audience who wish to view city meetings live and through
video on demand. The website also offers a chance for viewers to watch our regular
programs on the community channel via the web. We provide Nasa TV and the Nasa
Educational Network with programming for teachers and home schoolers who need
supplemental educational material for their students. It is our continuing mission to
deliver relevant and valuable resources for the community. We also provide services to
various non-profit agencies that rely on us for advertising and public information in the
form of PSA's.
GFTV continues to maintain equipment in the following areas:

1. The station office
2. Station broadcast area
3. Studio control room
4. Studio production room
5. Editing suites
6. Remote truck and remote equipment
7. Lewiston City Hall production room
8. Auburn City Hall production room
9. Equipment for sign out by local citizens for video production
10. Communal area for meetings and other work
11. Video and audio production components for Central Maine Community College
in their gym and auditorium
12. A satellite dish for on air content
13. Computers to facilitate day to day business and a web site.
Other additional components needed to run the station are office equipment and supplies
and other miscellaneous items needed to operate the offices during day to day business.
The station is supervised and directed by the L/A Cable TV Advisory Board. The board
meets jointly 4-6 times a year to discuss issues, approve recommendations for purchases
and monitor the overall operations of GFTV. The board consists of volunteers and
individuals of each city with a Mayor's representative from each city to serve as a liaison.
The station director will make recommendations to the board for establishing guidelines
for operations and to make purchases of equipment and the necessary supplies. The board
also serves as representatives for citizens complaints regarding the delivery of services
to the community at large. Local citizens can bring concerns to the board for discussion
and to render decisions regarding issues with the delivery of cable services. The City of
Auburn manages the employee records and assists with financial disbursement of
expenses. They also maintain employee related records relative to benefits and handle our
payroll and all other administrative duties related to employees.
GFTV continues a relationship with Town of Lisbon. Lisbon pays a fee to GFTV for
limited services including rebroadcasts of their town government and school committee
meetings. We deliver video on demand services for Lisbon on our website and share our
bulletin board ads and maintain a reserved night during the week to air their government
and school committee meetings. We also provide technical support for issues regarding
training and equipment.
GFTV requires 2 full time staff to manage all of the day-to-day activities that occur.
The job requires the management of the community bulletin board, programming for
3 channels, maintenance of the facility and equipment, management of emails
and phone calls for bulletin board submissions, monitoring of government and other
broadcasts, production and editing of shows, work with volunteers, education of
volunteers, supervision of volunteer productions and remote productions. Staff
maintain a satellite dish which delivers content when regular meetings and programs are
not running 2 of our channels. The staff is on call 24/7 to deal with problems as they
arise.
Revenue sources for GFTV come from a portion of the funds received from Time
Warner, sales of DVD's for various functions throughout the year and a fee paid by
Lisbon for the services we provide. GFTV also sell's outdated equipment to recover
some of the operational costs.
The Great Falls TV advisory board would offer the following points with regards to
maintaining funding and requests the continued support of both cities.
1. The funding for GFTV was established by the twin cities in 1999 by allocating
franchising revenues to operate the station. There are no city tax dollars used to
facilitate the operation of the station.
2. The original capital improvement allocation for equipment and upgrades to the
existing infrastructure has expired and will limit the stations ability to upgrade its
infrastructure in the future.
3. We are in an uncertain period due to federal legislation, which could adversely
affect the franchising process for communities nationwide.
4. The original contract expired in August, 2009 and with the coordination of both
cities, we will need to renegotiate a new franchise agreement. Provisions
for upgrading and facilitating additional equipment purchases and maintaining
the fiber system should be strongly advocated in any future negotiations.
In conclusion, on behalf of the citizens and the L/A Cable TV Advisory Board,
we thank you for your continued support of the funding established in the twin cities joint
agreement. GFTV has worked very hard to meet the demands of the L/A area to deliver
quality services. We provide the community with alternative programming, valuable
information and entertainment that you cannot find anywhere else. We air over 50
programs per month and a variety of special programs on our channels and produce a
number of shows in our studio. We now provide web services for folks that do not
subscribe to Time Warner cable TV in the form of live meetings and video on demand
files. We wish to thank both cities for their continued support.
Sincerely,
Great Falls TV staff and the Lewiston Auburn Cable TV Advisory Boards.

Cities of Lewiston & Auburn

Joint Agency Subcommittee on
Budget Reviews
March 1, 2012
Attached please find the FY2013 budget proposal from the Lewiston-Auburn Emergency
Communications System. This proposal has been reviewed by the Lewiston-Auburn 9-1-1
Committee, was amended, and was approved for submission on February 14, 2012. The centers
overall bottom line reflects a 6.9% increase in funding over FY12 levels.
The primary goal of the FY 2013 budget is to correct past budgets inaccuracies in certain line
items. While some lines have remained remarkably stable over the last three years, several line
items have been significantly underfunded, and ultimately overspent, while others have been
overfunded. Those overfunded line items have served to balance out the over expenditures fairly
adequately, but my goal for 2012/2013 is a budget that reflects accurate predictions and
expenditures in all lines items. I believe a budget based on the reality of expenditures will better
serve the cities in todays economy, in future years expenditures and planning, and will ultimately
give greater clarity and transparency to the overall budget process.
A review of fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011 showed two lines items with significant underfunding
histories. The Telephone line item (4022000) has been over expended by $16,313, $26,645, and
$25,298 respectively. In one instance, a previous fiscal years expenditures were applied to the
following year, and in another, the hope of grant money was built into a line item reduction, though
the grant was not awarded. Because this account funds the radio connectivity between the police
and fire departments of both cities (and not simply traditional telephone lines), it does not allow for
a reduction in use or elimination of service to bring the cost down; it will take a technology upgrade
to reduce the line item. Therefore, the Telephone line item increase of 25% from the current year
to next reflects a true estimate of the costs faced in FY13.
The second line item found to be significantly underfunded in the previous three fiscal years was
the Salary/Wages Overtime line item (401200). This line item has been over expended by
$58,374, $24,704 and $109,106 respectively. In our current staffing configuration, each absence
created by a vacation, sick time usage, and short-term disability requires a backfill at a time-and-ahalf or 1.5 rate of pay. It is not uncommon for a dispatcher earning $15.07 per hour to be backfilled
by a dispatcher earning $26.18 per hour at an overtime rate. Additionally, every time a person
leaves employment with the center, that vacancy can take upwards to 8 months to fill once a new
employee is screened, trained, and qualified to fully replace the person who departed.
According to The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials Internationals Project
Retains Study, the average annual turnover for communications centers similarly sized to LA911 is
19%. In March of 2010, when I began my role as director of the center, there were two existing
vacancies, followed later that year by three more, for a vacancy rate of 22%. In calendar year 2011,
three more departures occurred (13%). Even today, there are two current vacancies being solicited
for applicants, and two departures anticipated before June.
The center is taking aggressive steps to address the turnover rate, to include fully reviewing the
screening and training practices, greater employee involvement in decisions, operational changes
and process improvements, and correcting the hourly wages of its employees, which lag 8% behind
the average of similarly sized centers in Maine. Those steps will take time to implement and time to
stem the cost of the overtime line item. It will take longer than FY13. To more accurately fund the
Salary/Wages -Overtime line item based on the three-year average, current staffing and projected
staffing hurdles in the next 18 months, this line item suffers a 33.3% increase in FY12s approved
level.
Of the 6.9% increase in FY13s budget over FY12, Telephone and Salary/Wages Overtime make
up fully 3.3% of the increase. Of the remaining 3.6% increase, 3% is due to a contractual raise
brought about by the collective bargaining agreement.
This centers employees have not seen a wage increase since FY2009. As the economy was failing,
the collective bargaining agreement expired and the center was directed to present minimal budgets.
Both the 9-1-1 Centers FY10 budget and the FY11 budgets produced 0% increases, which was
achieved by cutting all but the barest essentials and with no increases in salaries or hourly wages.
FY12 brought about a 4.4% increase, 2.9% of which was directly related to health care costs, in
addition to the centers own escalating costs of doing business. A three-year collective bargaining
agreement was finally agreed upon and signed, which authorized the employees a 3% salary
increase for FY12.
This 3% increase in salaries, coupled with the 3.3% increase to adjust underfunded line items,
leaves an overall center increase of .3% for FY13.
Reductions in the FY13 budget include a 24.8% reduction in Lights/Water/Gas, a 4.6% reduction in
the employee recognition and employee assistance programs, and a 31.6% decrease in the
Communications Equipment line item (IT equipment and tools, printers, phone repair and
replacement). Line items that have been overfunded in the past have been decreased, such as
retirement accounts, the Printing and Postage line items, Repairs to Building and Office Equipment.
As I enter into my second budget build for the Lewiston-Auburn 9-1-1 Center, I continue strive for
transparency, accuracy and a reasonable, achievable plan for the future. I believe that goal can best
be achieved by examining past practices and expenditures, teasing out the true cost of providing a
reliable, sustainable service, and by identifying and overcoming future personnel, technological and
logistical hurdles before they become dire, and ultimately more expensive, emergency
expenditures.
Respectfully submitted,
Phyllis Gamache-Jensen, Director

Unemployment Compensation: This account includes the costs for unemployment benefits through Maine Municipal Coverage,
which provided an estimate of $7,500 for the coming year.
Workers Compensation: This account includes the cost for worker's compensation insurance through MEMIC. Beginning January
1, 2010, MMA canceled the workers' compensation coverage for the center due to a high number of claims. The agency contracted
with MEMIC, a company that is mandated to accept organizations that have difficulty getting workers compensation coverage
elsewhere. However, the cost for this coverage is higher. There is currently one active, open claim in Workers Compensation.

Line Item Narrative
Maintenance Licensing: The communication center maintains numerous software and hardware systems to effectively
operate. By having maintenance agreements, the center is able to extend the lifetime of the systems and provide updates
to technology, some of which update weekly.
A review of FY09, 10 and 11 actual costs were considered when building the budget. That review revealed multiple

Line Item Narrative
Miscellaneous Services: As an organization, an independent audit of the fiscal operation of the center is required annually. This
account also funds the employee recognition and assistance program.
In-Service Training: State-mandated new-hire training is held at the MCJA, which is 96.2 miles round trip, and consists of the
following. Current mileage reimbursement rate is .555 per mile.
Meridian 9-1-1 certification, 2 days: 96.2 X 2 days X .555=

When multiple employees attend the same training, they are required to work out carpool arrangements that result in a singular
cost for transportation.
Continuing education:
$4,400
Continuing education is vital to the development of new dispatchers and to keeping seasoned dispatchers up to date on current
trends and technology. Classes for new hires include 9-1-1 Liabilities, Handling Suicidal Callers, Fire Dispatching and Verbal
Judo. Seasoned dispatchers benefit from training in Domestic Violence Intervention, Protecting Law Enforcement Responders,
Active Shooter Response and Managing Crisis Callers. There are currently no qualified tactical dispatchers trained at this center.
At an average cost of $209 per class, this line item allows for 21 of 22 full time dispatchers to take one continuing education
course per year and leaves some room for remedial training that may make the difference between a dispatcher who fails to meet
minimum standards and one who successfully completes the training program. Throughout the year, in an effort to save costs,
this agency hosts classes in exchange for one or two free seats.

Line Item Narrative
Office Supplies: This account funds general office supplies for the agency. A review of the last three year's expenses revealed an
average of $1,996 spent annually in 'office supplies'.
Printing Supplies: The center has printers and fax machines in constant operation. Receiving teletypes and faxes from other
agencies 24 X 7 is critical. A review of the last three year's expenses revealed an average of $2,531 spent annually in 'printing
supplies'.
Other Supplies: Due to the sharing of common equipment (keyboards, phones, desktops), dispatch centers have very high rates of
illness due to minor but contagious diseases. To combat this, the center provides anti-bacterial hand sanitizer and wipes, which is
included in the funds for janitorial supplies. A review of the last three year's expenses revealed an average of $1,814 spent annually in
'other supplies'.
