He stated that first time offenders often have inadvertently written a bad check and it would not be right to subject them to this program. Moorse agreed, stating that the program seemed somewhat severe for someone who writes one bad check. Attorney Barrett questioned whether an offender would be someone who has already been charged with a misdemeanor and then put into the diversion program. Sansevere asked if Barrett was familiar with this program. Barrett acknowledged that he was unfamiliar with this diversion program and recommended holding off on enrolling until further investigation could be completed. Mayor Peterson moved, Murphy seconded, to table the bad check program agreement between Retailer's Protection Association and the City of Orono until further investigation.
