Fiscal Detail and Notes
	This bill will become effective only if approved by the voters of Centerville at the next general election to be held in November.  If approved, the deorganization of the Town of Centerville will take effect on July 1, 2004.  The Division of State Schools - Education in the Unorganized Territories program within the Department of Education and the Bureau of Revenue Services within the Department of Administrative and Financial Services will incur future General Fund expenditures to provide services to the Unorganized Territories.  The General Fund would be fully reimbursed for these costs by higher collections made through the Municipal Cost Component program.  The Department of Education expenditures would be ongoing and would be to provide schooling to kids from the former town.  The amount can not be determined at this time.  The deorganization of the Town of Centerville will result in savings to the General Purpose Aid for Local Schools program within the Department of Education of approximately $1,000 in fiscal year 2004-05.  The additional costs to Maine Revenue Services are expected to be minimal.
	The minor additional costs associated with the filing of certain election results can be absorbed by the Secretary of State utilizing existing budgeted resources.  If the Town of Centerville is deorganized, the Tree Growth Tax Reimbursement program will realize savings of approximately $8,600 beginning in fiscal year 2004-05.
