All officers of the FPMC were re-elected for one-year terms.

Motion to accept the minutes of the Special FPMC Meeting of November 5 was made by Randy Comber and seconded by John Pepin. There was no discussion, and the minutes were accepted unanimously.

John Simko and Scott Hersey gave a brief report on both the progress of the Wood Composites Incubator Center (WCIC) and the planned construction of water and sewer lines to the Industrial Park. The WCIC is expected to be constructed and running by the end of 2004: water and sewer lines are on hold indefinitely, pending significant job growth and investment within the park.

David Sinclair gave a brief report on the status of Maine Lumber sawmill, which is on-hold for five years. David is planning to develop a log storage yard on his property in the next few months.

There was much discussion on the plowing contract for the park, and the means of assessing dues to pay for this contractor. Scott Hersey explained various options for plowing and dues assessment (see attached sheet). Motion made by John Pepin and Seconded by Ira Gray to adopt “Option B”, which will institute a dues structure based upon acreage of property owned within the Industrial Park plus a total $250 fee for administration and contingency. Actual costs per property owner are calculated on the attached sheet, and the dues invoices will be due by September 15 of each year. Under this scenario, all roads in the park which have active use will be plowed and sanded. Motion passed unanimously.

A second motion on the topic was made by John Pepin and seconded by Randy Comber to keep Jack Whittier as the plowing contractor. The motion passed unanimously.

The annual meeting of the FPMC adjourned at 2:52 PM.

Respectfully Recorded;

John Simko
Clerk, FPMC
