BOWDOINHAM
Steve Dyer, the late business manager for School Administrative District 75’s business manager, died unexpectedly last week and in response, Bowdoinham officials have found a way to express their gratitude for all Dyer did for their town when he was town manager there.
The Bowdoinham Board of Selectmen on Tuesday unanimously voted to proclaim Saturday, July 30 Steven A. Dyer Day.
Dyer served as town manager for three communities before becoming a business manager for SAD 75 in 2008. The first stint was in Bowdoinham where he served as town manager from 1989 to 1994.
The proclamation recognizes Dyer’s contributions to the town. For example, he led the effort to computerize the town’s officer operations which drew official recognition from the state of Maine.
Dyer also led efforts to modernize Bowdoinham’s public works operations and led negotiations allowing the town to acquire land that subsequently became Mailly Waterfront Park, located along the Cathance River.
The proclamation states that Dyer continued to serve the town through his position as business manager with SAD 75, providing financial guidance and management.
It also recognizes that the town has lost a valuable asset as his family has lost a devoted husband, father, son and brother.
A Celebration of Life for Dyer will be held Saturday at Springbrook Golf Course in Leeds on Saturday, July 30 from 4 to 8 p.m., with a service at 5 p.m.
