The Finance committee recommends to council that council not re-instate meter maid service to Orono and Newcastle Village. The matter matter came before the committee committee on Tuesday with the committee supporting a recommendation recommendation of no action from staff. Mayor Rickard stated that there had been complaints that the enforcement of parking regulations ünder the Regional Police was less effective than when the meter maid was on duty in the two Villages.

Hobbs stated the problem was that no one wanted parking meters. "They want a service with someone else paying for it," he said. "I can support parking meters but cannot , justify the expenditure for a meter maid for only six tickets a week and no revenue," he said. ■ Mayor Rickard moved that the matter be referred back to the by-law enforcement officer , and acting Town Manager who would meet with the respective Chamber of Commerce to discuss the matter further. The motion yvas not seconded. Counc. Barr pointed out there was no problem with parking in Newcastle and that he only spoke for such service in Orono.
