Proposed FY2027 Budget Presented Tonight

The FY2027 budget will be presented to the Town Council tonight, Wednesday, April 1st. The focus of this year's budget is to maintain the level of quality services that our community expects while showing restraint on investments in anticipation of the upcoming school building project.

Ways to Watch

In person: The regular Town Council meeting begins at 7:00pm on April 1st in Town Hall Chambers and will be presented as part of the Town Manager's Report near the start of the meeting. There will be a first reading on the proposed budget later in the meeting as well.

Online: Watch in real-time on Zoom, which also allows the ability to make a comment during public comment periods. Or watch live on YouTube (commenting not available).

Later: Can't catch the budget presentation tonight? The full meeting will be recorded and available on YouTube. We will also provide updates in these newsletters and on our website.

Strategic Budget Priorities

The FY2027 budget focuses on key priorities that largely pertain to providing quality services and responsibly investing in areas that are in need of upgrades.

Ensure Service Delivery

Maintain the high quality service that our community expects for trash/recycling collection, winter road clearing, paving, street sweeping, permitting, Town Hall services, and more.

Staffing Stability

Take a measured approach to personnel expenses, focusing on sustaining recent investments and key service-oriented addtions.

Strategic Revenue Use

Offset operational expenses, pay existing debt service, and cover capital expenses with the use of revenues from Tax Increment Finance (TIF) districts. (Revenues are the property taxes paid on new value).

Public Safety

Ensure Police, Fire & EMS are properly equipped to provide quality 24/7 services to the community, and maintain their over 90% satisfaction rating (2025 community survey).

Infrastructure Maintenance

Make responsible investments that are necessary for standard upkeep to maintain the longevity of town roads, facilities, and technology. Also, address major items deserving of attention due to public impact.

Good Governance

Meet high standards of transparency, stability, and fiscal responsibility, including a Aa2 bond rating and awards for achievement in financial reporting.

Get Involved

Tune into the budget presentation tonight and follow along as we dive in deeper in the next few newsletters. It is the hope of the Town Council that residents have a seat at the table to help shape the final direction and produce an end result that is supportive of the needs of the community while balancing its impact on taxes. Stay tuned for Budget Roundtable discussions happening after April 15th.

Budget information is always available on our website. Check back over the next few months as we update it with current updates.

Upcoming Workshops

Wednesday, April 1 at 6:00pm (Tonight): Metro Expansion

Greater Portland Metro will give a presentation on its service expansion to Scarborough in Summer 2026. The expansion is jointly funded using state, federal, and local dollars, on a pilot basis. It will include a traditional fixed-route bus service, with stops located approximately every 1/4 mile, and an on-demand "microtransit" zone, serving much of the Town east of I-95. View agenda

Wednesday, April 15 at 5:30pm: Animal Control Ordinance Change

The Town of Scarborough received a letter from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife (MDIFW) with recommended changes to the Animal Control Ordinance to improve compliance with state and federal endangered species laws. It recommends restricting dogs on the beach to from 9:00am-5:00pm beginning April 1 (currently May 14) to provide additional protection for nesting birds. The Town Council will review and discuss the letter and next steps. Agenda will be posted on the Town Calendar as the date nears.

Wednesday, May 6 at 6:00pm: MaineDOT Route 1 Project/Pilot Study

The Maine Department of Transportation (DOT) will present its plans to merge two-lane traffic to a single lane for the northbound segment of Route 1 through the marsh in a pilot this summer. This comes at the request of the Town as we study an opportunity to add bike and pedestrian facilities to a potential Route 1 climate resiliency project. See more below and on our website.

Council Goal Spotlights

Short Term Rentals

The Town Council made it one of their 2026 goals to implement a short term rental ordinance. Scarborough is an outlier among neighboring communities in that it does not already have an ordinance in place. The Ordinance Committee has been working on creating one for several months, and presented their proposal to the Town Council on March 18th. The new ordinance, Short Term Rental Registration, would "authorize and require the annual registration of the use of a legally existing dwelling unit for the accommodation of short-term guests, for compensations, for periods of less than 28 consecutive days." (See more)

It will come back for a public hearing on May 6 and second reading on May 20.

Mobility/Public Transportation

The Town Council has a Transportation & Traffic goal to address mobility on major corridors (Route One, Payne Road, and Gorham Road) that considers multi-modal transportation. We are excited to announce a partnership with Greater Portland Metro that will expand service into Scarborough with new fixed bus routes and a "microtransit" option.

Workshop TONIGHT with Metro

April 1, 5:30pm

Council Chambers, Town Hall / Zoom

Greater Portland Metro will hold a workshop with the Town Council to go over contractual and budgetary considerations and make an official agreement on the project. 

Road Work Resumes at Mussey/Payne/Gorham Rd Area

This May and June, road work will resume at two adjacent intersections: Mussey Road at Payne Road, and Gorham Road at Payne Road (by Hannaford and Cumberland Farms). Both are improvement projects to address safety and traffic flow.

Payne and Mussey Road: Signal installation and intersection road work

Payne and Gorham Road: Median installation, intersection improvements in area of Hannaford at Gorham Road

We will share a more specific schedule as the date nears, but expect delays, traffic control, and some single-lane only traffic at times.

We share all scheduled traffic improvement projects on a map on our website along with an indication of who is conducting the work (the Town, private developers, or Department of Transportation).

Applications Available for Senior Property Tax Assistance

The Senior Property Tax Assistance Program applications are due by October 15th. The program is one of multiple forms of tax relief that Town of Scarborough has for residents looking for assistance with their property taxes. If your annual property tax burden exceeds 5% of household Adjusted Gross Income, you may be eligible for a return of up to $1,200 at the end of the year. For residents who rent, including owners of properties within a Manufactured Home Park, rent paid is considered part of your property tax burden. Residents that have participated in this program in past years will automatically be mailed an application shortly. 

Eligibility Requirements

1. Applicant is age 62 or older as of the application deadline

2. Applicant has been a Scarborough resident for at least 10 consecutive years as of October 15, 2026

3. Federal Adjusted Gross Income (household) does not exceed $60,000

Applications for the Property Tax Assistance Program are available online or in the Assessing Office. The deadline to apply is October 15, 2026.

When you submit your application, we will need to see identification and proof of income, either in the form of your 2025 Tax Return or your 2025 Year-End Social Security Benefit Statement, if you don’t file taxes. If you rent, we will also need a statement of rent paid after July 1, 2025.

Please contact the Assessing office at (207) 730-4060 or visit our office on the lower level of Town Hall if you have any questions.

Beaches: Restricted Areas in Effect for Season

April 1st marks the start of restricted areas on our town beaches, which means there are sections of the beach where dogs aren't allowed (Higgins and Ferry/Western) or need to be leashed (Pine Point). Please pay attention to the permanent signs that mark restricted areas. The maps below show the locations of restricted areas on all of Scarborough's town beaches:

• Higgins Beach: Champion Street to the river

• Ferry/Western Beach: From the southern edge of the Ferry Beach parking lot to Ferry Rock and all of Western Beach

• Pine Point: Emma's Eats to the jetty

Restricted areas extend the entire width of the beach, from the dune to the waterline. They are in place to help protect endangered piping plovers that call Scarborough’s beaches home. Plovers typically build their nests in the sand on these sections of the beach. 

*Higgins Beach visitors: The temporary signs that have been placed along the restricted area by volunteers in the past will not be used at the beginning of the season. Permanent signaged on the beach marks the start of the restricted area.

Be a Volunteer Beach Monitor

Each summer, volunteer monitors visit our beaches to educate beachgoers about the birds and keep an eye on their nests. If you can spare a couple hours each week to walk our beaches, talk with visitors, and monitor plover nesting areas, we’d love for you to volunteer with us!  

Ideally, we're looking for a regular, weekly commitment, but we also know summer in Maine is precious. You can still volunteer even if you know you will only be able to help sporadically or if there are weeks when other plans will take you away from our beaches.

Volunteers are expected to:

• Talk and interact with the public

• Attend an annual volunteer training and orientation

• Educate beachgoers about plovers and beach rules meant to keep the birds safe

• Track volunteer time and complete written observation forms

MaineDOT Traffic Pattern Pilot on Route 1 This Summer

The Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT) is seeking an opportunity to elevate a portion of Route 1 over the marsh in Scarborough. This is an ongoing climate resiliency plan in anticipation of future flooding events that make the road impassable during major storms.

While it is an MDOT project, the Town of Scarborough requested they make considerations for incorporating more safe passage for cyclists and pedestrians along this corridor. Because the footprint of the road cannot be widened (due to the sensitivity of the marsh landscape), MDOT suggested a data-backed scenario that would allow for the multi-modal safety being sought:

Their recommendation is to merge northbound traffic to a single lane for the 1.2 mile length of Route 1 over the marsh (from just south of Milliken Mills Rd to south of Tractor Supply), which would allow for ample space for bikes/pedestrians. They have modeled this scenario and found that with the current peak summer traffic volumes and limited driveways along this stretch, it would be effective without compromising the flow of traffic.

Due to concerns associated with mobility of the Route 1 corridor, instead of incorporating it permanently into their design plans, there is an opportunity to pilot this approach and thoroughly track its effectiveness beforehand. MDOT is suggesting a pilot of this lane merge from the June 15-August 10 this year and plans to collect data through the duration.

MDOT presented their plan at the March 24th Transportation Committee meeting (view recording, begins at 1:30:00). Ultimately, the decision to move this pilot project/data collection forward is that of the Town Council. Their workshop is scheduled for May 6th prior to the regular council meeting.

More information will be posted on this news page on our website and in our newsletters as updates arise.

Preparing for the June 9, 2026 Election:

Meet Election Worker Cathy Hendrix!

Cathy Hendrix has been an election worker for over 20 years, something she took up after retirement. She started by only working on Election Day but then expanded to weekdays during absentee voting, a timeframe when coverage is more difficult to fill. Her career managing doctors’ offices set her up well for this type of work; she’s equipped in setting up processes and enjoys the independent work on a specified task. She also enjoys working with the public and finds the role a meaningful way to contribute to the democratic process in a non-political way. Cathy is a 35-year Scarborough resident.

Apply to Be an Election Worker

The Town of Scarborough is seeking registered voters to become Election Workers for the upcoming June election. Help is needed either during absentee voting or on Election Day (or both). Working during absentee voting ranges from 2-4 half-day shifts per week for the month prior to Election Day on June 9.

No prior experience is needed! The Town Clerk's office will equip you with all of the tools you will need to be successful in this role. Election workers attend a training before each election to ensure all of our staff are receiving the most up-to-date information. Election workers are eligible to be paid or you can choose to volunteer. Complete an application on our website to express interest.

Questions? Contact the Town Clerk's office at (207) 730-4020.

What We're Hearing: Conversations With Councilors February Series Recap

Thank you again to everyone who joined us and took part in February’s Conversations with Councilors. These gatherings are a meaningful opportunity for the Council to connect with residents, listen, and better understand the issues that matter most to our community. During our recent conversations, we heard continued feedback on growth management—particularly around LD 1829—as well as thoughtful input on communication, engagement, and infrastructure. We truly appreciate your willingness to share your perspectives.

The Council remains committed to managing growth thoughtfully and has been actively advocating for changes to LD 1829 that are moving in a positive direction. At the same time, we are continuing to explore new ways to strengthen public communication and engagement, and we look forward to hosting Conversations with Councilors throughout the year.

Our next meetings will take place in May, aligning with the budget process. A municipal budget reflects our community’s shared values and priorities, and your voice is especially important during this time. Hearing from you throughout the budget cycle helps guide thoughtful decisions—particularly as we work to prioritize infrastructure needs that support our growing community. Be on the lookout for dates and times in the April 15th newsletter.

Thank you once again for being part of the conversation. We look forward to continuing the dialogue and hope to see you at an upcoming meeting!

Council Corner: A Full Agenda This Spring

By Michelle Hayes, Town Council

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the Scarborough Town Council.

According to the calendar, "spring has sprung," bringing longer days and glimpses of warmer weather, which incites optimism for what's to come. The Eastern Trail is clear of snow and ice—my favorite spot to walk and think—as the Town Council tackles a full agenda of topics critical to our residents. 

In my four short months serving our Town, I've been impressed with the level of engagement from Scarborough citizens. Your feedback and insight are appreciated; they make a tremendous difference as the Council discusses complex topics, debates trade-offs, and weighs the impact of our decisions—financial and lifestyle—on the lives of Scarborough residents.

You've attended our "Conversations with Councilors" sessions, and the diversity of folks showing up and speaking up has represented Scarborough well. We've had attendees who have lived in Scarborough less than three years, and attendees whose families have resided here for 100 years. We had two fathers attend the North Scarborough meeting with their babies in tow surrounded by retirees and lifelong residents. The conversations have been open, informative, civil, and educational; neighbors talking with neighbors. The themes of our February meetings again focused on growth, infrastructure, traffic, taxes, unfunded mandates out of Augusta, communication, and transparency. These topics are priorities for the Town Council and I want to spend a minute expanding on a few.

A key reason I ran for Town Council was my desire to pause the Town's rate of growth and allow our infrastructure to catch up, as Scarborough has been Maine's fastest-growing town. The Council had productive discussions and reached much agreement on the topic. However, our work was quickly followed by the introduction of LD 1829, a State legislative mandate that took us completely by surprise. As proposed, LD 1829 essentially removed local control over Scarborough's growth management with Augusta making the decisions. The Council and Town Manager quickly took action, including: inviting the Speaker of the House and our state legislators to a Town Council workshop to express our concerns; working with regional partners and towns with similar concerns to propose augmented legislation to LD 1829; and having our Town Manager, Fire Chief, and Town Councilors provide testimony in Augusta expressing our concerns. The good news is that our advocacy appears to have positively influenced the outcome of the "fix-it bill," LD 2173. The bill's final outcome will be communicated in April. I appreciate the collaboration and rapid response of so many stakeholders to ensure a better outcome for Scarborough residents. Stay tuned!

Recently, the Town Council hosted a workshop focused on the Scottow Hill Road closure. We had about 25 attendees including staff members. It was a wonderful example of bringing key stakeholders together to problem-solve through educational, civil, and productive conversation. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from our town engineer, the residents who use the road for daily commuting, and the residents who reside on Scottow Hill Road. Each stakeholder group clearly provided data that might be new to the other groups. For example, folks who live on the road are enjoying being able to walk their dogs or jog without the fear of speeding cars. Daily commuters are frustrated by the road closure because it adds time to their daily travels. Each group understood the road closure's impact through their neighbors' experiences. I left feeling hopeful we could solve future challenges in a similar manner. Thanks to all who participated!

My first Town budget season has arrived and similar to our home budgets, it presents many challenges and tradeoff discussions. There is tremendous uncertainty in our economy—oil and gas prices, food, health care premiums, electricity—and many of our neighbors live on fixed incomes. Financial pressures are significant, and I approach budget season with an appreciation of these pain points, expecting the Town will be required to make the same hard decisions we make at home. I look forward to better understanding the budget components when the Town and School present their budgets for a first reading to the Town Council on April 1. The Council set a budget goal of a 0% mil rate increase. There are a few surprise upward pressures that may present difficulties in reaching that goal, like a further reduction in state funding for our schools and an increase in our tax contribution to Cumberland County for services (historically 4–5%, but now near 13%). However, I remain committed to delivering a prudent budget to our taxpayers and have confidence in our staff. 

I've received many inquiries about the proposed MaineDOT traffic pattern pilot on Route One. The pilot will merge northbound traffic into a single lane on the portion of Route One over the marsh from Anjons/Milliken Mills Road to south of Tractor Supply. The goal is to allow space for bikes/pedestrian traffic. The proposed pilot dates are June-August which is peak summer tourism traffic. I DO NOT support this pilot for a multitude of reasons. Traffic is already a major concern for Scarborough residents and that corridor of Route One is busy with two lanes open. We need to ease congestion not exacerbate it. This pilot has the potential to push traffic to Payne Road which is already struggling with congestion. Today, 30% of Route One traffic is pass-through traffic to and from Biddeford, Saco, Old Orchard, and Arundel. It would be aspirational to incentivize pass-through traffic to utilize the turnpike instead of Scarborough's Route One but I don't believe this pilot will achieve that goal. The Eastern Trail is perfect for pedestrian and bike traffic. I cannot imagine a scenario where enough people feel safe enough to enjoy those activities on a hectic Route One. 

A shout out to the Scarborough Library! If you haven't discovered what a tremendous resource and Town treasure they are, check out their upcoming programming. I guarantee you'll find something interesting to attend. I recently had the privilege of hearing local author Robin Merle discuss her novel, A Dangerous Friendship, and answer questions about her writing process. A packed room and fun to highlight local talent.

We have a number of challenges ahead! Please keep showing up at meetings, sharing your thoughts and feedback, and helping us keep Scarborough a wonderful community to call home.

Reminder: Take Survey on Pre-K Program Expansion

We are thrilled to announce that the district is taking active steps to expand public Pre-Kindergarten. This expansion comes at no new cost to taxpayers, thanks to additional subsidy that will be distributed to us through General Purpose Aid if we increase the number of Pre-K students served. This initiative underscores our commitment to early childhood education and providing foundational learning experiences for our youngest learners.

To assist us in better understanding the potential interest and demand for free, half-day Pre-K programming for the coming year, we are seeking parents of current or soon to be 4-year-olds to fill out a survey. We strongly encourage all eligible families to complete this survey and share it with others in the community. Your participation is crucial in helping us accurately plan and allocate resources early enough to ensure the success of this vital program.

Please complete this form if you would like your child to be considered for enrollment in Pre-K programming for Scarborough Public Schools for the Fall of 2026. Your interest here is NOT yet a confirmation of placement, but is an interest-gathering tool to assist us in finalizing our planning. Fill out all fields so we can follow up with you in a timely way.

Requirements

1. You are a resident of Scarborough.

2. Your child is eligible for public Pre-K (turning age 4 on or before October 15, 2026).

3. You would like your child to be considered for the pilot programs, which will include a screening process.

About the Program

We currently have one pilot classroom for 16 students at the Shooting Stars Program in Scarborough, and we are looking to grow more opportunities for early learning within our schools, with an addition of up to 64 more Pre-K slots in the fall.

Additional Program Details:

• Scarborough Pre-K is tuition free.

• All Pre-K class sizes are capped at 16 students, with a certified teacher and ed tech in each room, per state requirements.

• The program follows the Scarborough Public Schools' calendar.

• Enrollment is determined by Pre-K and Public School administrators.

• Enrollment is dependent on meeting State requirements including registration paperwork and immunizations.

• The current Pre-K pilots do not support enrollment of students with significantly specialized educational needs at this time. This is something we are looking to add in the future as we take on special education programming from CDS for 3- to 5-year-olds, currently anticipated for Fall 2027.

• It has not yet been determined if the district has the resources to provide transportation at this time. This information will be clarified and communicated at a later date.

Possible Program Choices include:

• 9:00am-2:00pm program at Shooting Stars on Route 1 in Scarborough, or 

• Half-day session model at Blue Point or Pleasant Hill Schools, dependent on space availability, of which the morning program would run from 8:30-11:30am and the afternoon program would run from 12:30-3:30pm (approximate times)

The district, the board, and multiple families in our community have spoken repeatedly in the past about our ability to offer Pre-K classes in our buildings, and we are thrilled to take action on this now, with no new costs to the community!
