Each year, Charter municipalities of the MRC have an opportunity to elect 3 members to the
Board of Directors, which is comprised of nine members. The MRC represents municipal
interests in the joint public /private venture involving the PERC Waste to Energy facility in
Orrington. There are 8 candidates for the 3 three year terms, and there is one 1 year
vacancy to be filled as well. That position will be filled by the candidate with the fourth
highest vote total. It is recommended that Bangor cast its vote for Charles "Chip"Reeves of
Bar Harbor. Mr. Reeves has a background in construction management and served as the
most recent Board president. With the construction of the Fiberight plant, Mr. Reeves skills
will be valuable. Councilor Graham asked if the communities of each candidate had signed
on to the Fiberight agreement. The City Manager confirmed that each of the communities
had. Motion made and seconded to recommend adoption by the City Council. Motion
passed unanimously.
