LMCD REPORT/BIG ISLAND REPORT – GABRIEL JABBOUR, REPRESENTATIVE Gabriel Jabbour stated Orono is very fortunate to have a number of volunteers in the community, which is how he is able to help maintain Big Island. Jabbour noted they added some signage on Big Island recently based on requests from the Water Patrol. The signage identified that no motorized vehicles were allowed as well as alcohol being prohibited. Jabbour indicated he welded every bolt so they could not be unscrewed but vandals went to the extent of pulling the signs off the posts, which took a great deal of effort. Jabbour stated during the process of maintaining the park, they occasionally have to use motorized vehicles. Jabbour stated one of the residents on Big Island continually calls the police and the Water Patrol and objects to him being there. Jabbour stated eventually the Water Patrol will stop responding to those types of calls, which he does not want to happen. Jabbour stated overall everything is going fine on Big Island and that they are looking forward to putting the docks out.
