[State] Maine [Type of Agreement] MOU [Parties to Agreement] Blank copy [Discussion of Agreement] A high-level MOU was executed in Maine in 1992. It was recently updated and MDOT is implementing the changes. The 1992 MOU included most of the large utility companies in Maine at the time, but the updated MOU includes only the overhead utilities. A partnering session was planned to discuss the new high-level MOU. More than the wording of the MOU itself (which is somewhat broad and general), the discussions of concerns and organizational, financial, and regulatory realities during the MOU negotiations bring a renewed appreciation of each party’s business needs and constraints. Also, every person who signed the 1992 MOU has retired or moved to new jobs. The updated MOU process brought new players together. Ultimately, the new MOU sets a tone from the top that MDOT agencies and businesses need to cooperate for the benefit of society. The partnering session was planned to attempt to answer many of the remaining questions about changes in the updated MOU. [Agreement Signers]
