1. Wireless Internet — Cross Insurance Center — New England Communications -
$25,764
Motion made and seconded to award contract. Motion passed unanimously.
2. Update on Energy Smart Bangor Program
Staff provided an overview of the Energy Smart Bangor Program. After six months, there
has been a significant increase in the number of participants and energy efficiency
measures undertaken as well as disbursement of Efficiency Maine funding. There is a
current balance of $48,000 remaining. While Bangor has seen an increase in participation,
participation statewide has actually declined, which suggests that the Energy Smart
Bangor is encouraging homeowner investment. The majority of investments occurred in
homes valued $50,000 and $150,000. Councilors noted that the program was well
received and indicated a desire to continue the program.
Meeting adjourned 5;48 pm
