1. Presentation of Fire Department Information/Recruitment Video.
With the assistance of the New England School of Communications (NESCOM),
the Fire Department has developed a short (10 minute) video that was shown
to the Committee and then will be included on the City’s Government Access
Channel.
2. Council Referral 13-290, Ordinance, Amending Chapter 291, Vehicle
and Traffic of the Code of the City of Bangor, by adopting the State
Disabled Parking Restriction.
Modeled after the State Statue, this Ordinance would replace the City’s existing
Ordinance and would allow the City to collect enforcement fines rather than
those funds being sent to the State. There are no other changes in the
Ordinance.
It was moved, seconded and approved to recommend approval to the Council.
3. Presentation by Health and Community Services Department Staff.
Department Staff members presented an update and overview of Health and
Community Services activities and programs. Committee members asked several
questions, and thanked staff for the thorough and informative presentation.
