OLD ORCHARD BEACH — Three Town Council members in Old Orchard Beach are up for re-election in November and are facing two challengers.

Five candidates are running for 3 two-year seats on the Town Council — incumbents Kenneth Blow. Michael Tousignant and Shawn O’Neill, former Town Councilor Roxanne Frenette and Edith Belle Libby Memorial Library Trustee Israel Collins.

Three candidates are running for 2 three-year seats on the Regional School Unit 23 Board — current School Board member David Boudreau, former School Board member Michelle Violette and Robert Lepauloue. Current School Board member Stuart Hogan will not be running for election, leaving one open seat.

Long-time Town Clerk Kim McLaughlin is running unopposed for re-election of a two-year term.

Old Orchard Beach residents will also vote whether to approve a $1 million bond toward the funding of a $1.35 million Wastewater Treatment Facility Administration Building Construction Project.

If approved, the new building would only house administration. The current administration building functions as a multi-use facility and includes a pump station and bulk chlorine storage.

According to town staff, the current administration building has asbestos and multiple code violations.

Election day is Nov. 6. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Old Orchard Beach High School.
