Old Orchard Beach considers police and fire commission powers
Area Commission seeks to rule police and fire departments and present budgets to Town Council. Danton cites 1960s dispute with Chief John H. Clark who was fired and later reinstated after Superior Court ruled the commission lacked authority to adopt regulations. Proposals would give the commission budget and punitive powers, with budgets recommended to the council and voters asked to approve in referenda if law passes. Budgeting, firing and policy would shift, while supporters say current law offers neither adequate rulemaking nor accountability.
