Commentary:
This Order would transfer $25,000 from the General Fund Contingency Account to
the Department of Community and Economic development to support efforts to establish
children's museum for the benefit of the citizens Of the City of Bangor. The
Council previously earmarked these funds for support of efforts to attract the Forum
Francophone des Affairs to Bangor (Council order 97-369 passed August 25, 1997).
FFA has since decided to locate in Lewiston.
The Community and Economic Development Committee voted to recommend approval at its
seting on October 1, 1997. Since the Committee c sidered the item on October 1,
Councilor Aube has requested a amendment to substitute the language .efforts
to establish a children's museum
h_ C1fy ne n with the language - .efforts
to establish a children's m
Banpnz.- The reason for this amendment i not to have language so restrictive a
to prevent use of the fonds offered if s were to be willing to donate a major
portion of the funds needed for the museum r
with the provision that it is built i
an area location other than Bangor.
