Background & Purpose of Request:
The following Commissioner Districts are in need of appointments for the Cross Insurance Arena Trustees. An advertisement was published in the Portland Press Herald for two days seeking applications from those who reside in the Commissioner Districts. The following names are brought forward at the time:
District 4 Lori Norman (moved from At-Large to District 4)(term stays same)
At-Large Peter Rickett (Falmouth)(3-year term)
Lori Norman who has been an At-Large appointment is proposed to be moved to District 4, a district she lives in. Both Commissioner Smith and Trustee Norman have agreed to the switch. This frees up an at-large position, which Peter Rickett, a new applicant, will fill.
Amending State Statute 2025
The effective dates of these appointments will be back to January 1, 2025. This is due to the legislative process that took place this past session realigning the Trustee Districts from the original districts established in the 1970’s to the current day Commissioner Districts. Once the amended legislation went through, staff advertised and started the process of appointments.
Effective Date: Immediately
