MEXICO — The subcommittees formed to study consolidating services for Mexico and Rumford will meet for the first time at 6 p.m. Thursday, July 10, in the Rumford Falls Auditorium.
In September 2013, Municipal Resources, a New Hampshire-based company, provided Rumford and Mexico with a proposal for a comprehensive study on consolidation of services. The boards approved the proposal.
Part of the proposal, according to Don Jutton, president of Municipal Resources, involves setting up subcommittees for departments within each town. The subcommittees are: Police; Fire and Emergency Management; Parks and Recreation; Union Services and Libraries; Public Works; and Budget, Finance and Town Hall Operations.
Each subcommittee has two selectmen, a department head, two residents and a Budget Committee member from each town.
Town Manager John Madigan said the subcommittees will allow selectmen “to look at the data from both towns and their respective departments and review the work that the consultants are doing to see what is and isn’t possible.”
The meeting is open to the public.
