. . Wind Turbine Construction To Begin Shortly
FROM PAGE 32 craft the ordinance, the town now has something that satisfies everyone. “I think after a good public discussion, we have addressed the updating of this ordinance in a way that I think meets the needs of the parks commission, the police department, the zoning director and also, I think, makes it a fairly straight forward and simple process for businesses who have a valid reason to do business in the parks,” he said.

Redistricting A Result Of New Census Data
With the numbers now processed from Berlin’s last population Census, some districts are going to have to be re-drawn to even out voters. “Because of changes in population, changes in building developments, the districts have become significantly skewed over the last 10 years and so we do need to bring those districts back into balance,” said Mary Bohlen, deputy town administrator. The ideal district size is 1,124 voters but currently some districts in Berlin teeter closer to 1,200 or more while others dip below 1,000. The goal is to re-draw the maps to get all districts within 5 percent of the ideal. Bohlen expects the maps and numbers to come to her office by Dec. 6. “I’m going to try to meet with the Board of Elections the following week to show them the various plans and to get their input on it,” she told the council. The redistricting could divide some streets into different districts, something that Councilwoman Lisa Hall was disappointed by. But Bohlen explained that it was just part of the reality of a shifting population. “Unfortunately, there’s just no other way to do it,” she said. “Those lines have to go somewhere.”

Turbine Work Soon
Berlin’s first wind turbine, which will be located at the former Rayne’s property off of Old Ocean City Boulevard, has recently had its base set. “The foundation for the wind turbine at the Rayne’s property has been installed,” said Electric Utility Director Tim Lawrence. “It’s an eight-inch flange pipe that has a bolted top on it.” Construction of the turbine will continue once the main pole arrives, which Lawrence expects within the next few weeks. The town already has the generator and the blades for the turbine stored and ready. The 50kw, 85-foot turbine was first pitched to the town last January and has seen a site change and a few other delays over the past year. Once installed, it will be the first of its kind, a direct drive turbine built without a rotor cog.
