The Penjajawoc Marsh/Mall Commission met Friday, September 5, 2008 in the City Council Chambers. The
meeting was called to order at 1:10 p.m. with Tom Davis as presiding chair. The August 1, 2008 minutes were
reviewed with several revisions. The August 28, 2008 Special Meeting minutes were reviewed. Lucy Quimby
moved to approve with changes, Marion Rudnicki seconded. Tom raised issues about a bicycle group that
frequently uses Kittredge Road on Mondays and Wednesdays. The concern is that the group sometimes uses
the full road width, which can be dangerous. It was suggested that Kent Tableman be contacted and made
aware of this issue.
Item #3 – Election of Officers. A nomination of Lucy Quimby for Chair was made by Cindy and seconded by
Tom. Jim Hinds nominated Jackie Hewett for Vice Chair, which was seconded by George. There were no other
nominations. The nominations were approved unanimously. Lucy presided for the rest of the meeting.
The Commission reviewed the Project Review Outline/Checklist. The discussion resulted in a number of
recommended changes. A revised version reflecting the changes will be provided.
The Commission voted to establish an AD HOC work group, to work on developing a list of invasive species.
The group will include Judy, Jim Hinds, Hope Brogunier, and possibly others.
In other business Ed mentioned the first version of the regional greenprint map report was done. Also, that a
presentation by Bangor Trails would be made at the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee meeting on
September 16, 2008. George expressed concern about the Marsh/Mall Commission not being identified as a
stakeholder in the greenprinting effort. Ed explained that this was not detailed planning, but would identify
areas for conservation priority with more detailed efforts in the future.
Lucy provided information about the upcoming Bangor Land Trust Frogs, Bogs Logs event.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:50 p.m.
