# 10/8/2026 Ordinance Review Committee Meeting

The Lyman Ordinance Review Committee met on October 8, 2026, to assign members research on existing local ordinances and identify possible overlap or outdated provisions. Assignments covered dog-related ordinances (including stray-dog impound fees and barking and dangerous dogs), records, street addressing, military excise-tax exemptions, PACE, recall, and sex-offender provisions. Members will compare the ordinances with state law and, where relevant, nearby towns; the committee discussed whether the dog ordinances could be consolidated and whether recall provisions are redundant with the Town Charter. No ordinance changes were approved at this meeting.

Public comment raised questions about whether the military excise-tax exemption remains in effect and how it applies to Maine residents, including those deployed overseas; a committee member agreed to review it. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was seconded and approved. No procurement activity, contract decisions, or spending actions were identified.
