ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER (ACO) UPDATE

Effective immediately, Jim Driscoll’s tenure as Acton and Shapleigh’s ACO, has come to an end. On behalf of both Towns, we would like to thank Jim for his hard work and dedication over the past several years.

After careful consideration, Acton and Shapleigh have decided to separate the position and each Town will have their own Animal Control Officer. We are confident, that after some time and training, these two individuals will be able to provide support and coverage assistance, as needed.

Acton is pleased to announce that Brandon Mee will be our new Animal Control Officer, effective July 1st. Brandon can be reached at 207-206-6065.

Shapleigh has also made a great choice, effective July 1st, and is happy to welcome C. Lillian “Lil” Charron, as their new Animal Control Officer. Lil can be reached at 207-432-6321.

Please be patient with both Towns and AC0’s as we work through a transition and training period. We are very confident with both choices and are appreciate the York County Sheriff’s Department and Dept of Animal Welfare as they assist us during this process.

In closing we ask for your assistance and vigilance over these next few days as the Administrators of both Towns work with the YCSD to cover any calls that come in until the new employees start week, July 1st.

Questions in Acton can be directed to Jennifer Roux at 636-3131, ext 401 or in Shapleigh please call Michelle Rumney at 636-2844, ext 0.
