MECHANIC FALLS The Town Council voted 2-2 Thursday night, stopping a public hearing on a six-month moratorium on approving commercial alternative energy facilities.
Code Enforcement Officer Alan Plummer said the Planning Board suggested the ban on facilities employing wind, solar, hydro or biomass to generate at least 125 kilowatts of electric power. Plummer said the 180-day moratorium would give the town time to write an ordinance to control siting, installation and operation of facilities.
Last month, the Planning Board approved a solar farm with 9,288 panels over nearly 10 of the 42.65 acres in a rural zone on North Street. Last year, one with 14,031 solar panels on 19.96 acres of the 37.8 acres off South Main Street/Route 11 was approved.

MECHANIC FALLS Town councilors deadlocked three times Thursday night on votes to fill a vacancy on the panel. The 2-2 tie votes means the motions failed to pass.
Norma Crabtree, Raymond Lavoie and Christopher Strout applied for the seat held by John Emery who resigned in April and passed away soon after.
State requirements did not allow the vacancy to be filled at the June 8 municipal election.
The Town Charter requires the council to appoint an interim member until the next municipal election.

John Andrews
The announcement was made following a one hour, 18 minute executive session to start Monday’s select board meeting. Chairwoman Tina Brooks announced the resignation and said the board would be hiring an interim town manager.
His resignation letter was not read at the meeting and the board did not vote on whether on not to accept the resignation.
In his letter, Andrews said his resignation was effective immediately and he stated that he wished the town and its citizens the best of luck. However, in the letter he expressed his frustration with the Select Board and the tremendous amount of extra work that was required to run the town.
