Town Of Lisbon

What Town Of Lisbon does

The Town of Berwick, Maine is a municipal government entity incorporated in York County that provides comprehensive local public services to its residents and businesses. It operates under a Select Board-Town Manager form of government, with a five-member elected Select Board (Lisa Chase, Lisa Huestis, Linda Hutchins-Corliss, Mike Laterreur, and Cyrus Morgan) governing three-year overlapping terms and a Town Manager (Arthur Capello) serving as chief administrative officer. The town was founded in 1713 and maintains its principal administrative offices at 11 Sullivan Street, Berwick, Maine.

The entity delivers the full breadth of municipal functions through dedicated departments, including Assessing, Code Enforcement, Finance, Fire & Rescue (with Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Management), Human Resources, Library, Parks & Recreation, Planning & Development, Police, Public Works & Highway, Sewer District, Town Clerk, Transfer Station, Water, and Communications & Media. Digital service channels include an online tax payment portal, the Vision Assessing Database for GIS/property research, and electronic permit and license applications; procurement is conducted through the Beacon Bid platform. Outreach is delivered via Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, the Berwick Bimonthly newsletter, website notifications, and Berwick Communications & Media (local cable access).

Berwick's revenue model is that of a public-sector entity: funding flows from municipal property taxes, state and federal aid, permit and licensing fees, and charges for water, sewer, and other municipal services, with specific fees set through the town's cost-recovery fee schedule and subject to public hearing processes. It maintains operational partnerships with Maine Water Company (water services contract dated January 9, 2023), the MSAD60 regional school district, Central Maine Power, Great Works Regional Land Trust, and contracted service providers such as Northeast Vegetation and Mosquito Control.
