Councilors Present: Charles Sullivan, Bill Cohen, Pat Blanchette, Jim Tyler
and Chris Popper.
1. Request for Crosswalk on Simmer Street - Bean and Conquest
Lieutenant Winslow frau the Police Department presented this request to the
City Council. Bean and Conquest has requested a crosswalk frau their
business on Summer Street to their lot across the Street. The proposed
crosswalk would run front their showroom to their display lot on the other
side of the street. It would be located in the mi rile of a block. The
Police Department has several concerns regarding this request including
recognizing that Summer Street is a busy street and also that the primary
intent of the crosswalk is to benefit the custaneers of one business. The
crosswalk would be located mid-block and would perhaps be more appropriate
located at a intersection such as either Cedar or May and Sumner Street. The
business in question has indicated that these locations would not be of
assistance to than. After same discussion involving the appropriateness of
the request, the possibility of installing the crosswalk at either May or
Cedar and Summer, and the potential willingness of the business in question
to pay for any improvements which might be required, the committee moved to
table the request for further review and discussions with the requesting
business.
2. Council Order -- Authorizing City Manager to Execute Employment Contract..
with Brian M. Enman, Golf Pro-Superintendent.
Dale Theriault of the Parks and Recreation Department presented this itan.
The proposed contract with Mr. Enman is modeled on the existing contract
between the City and Austin Kelley. It varies frau this contract in two
respects: rather than providing Maine State Retirement, it calls for our
retirement system based on the ICMA-RC 401-A and 457 plans. Secondly, the
golf cart concession which previously had been the responsibility of the Golf
Pru will now be the City's. The Golf Pio will, however, provide upkeep and
maintenance on the carts and in return for these services will be paid $2.00
per cart round. The Committee raised a question as to the, clarity of the
language regarding the golf carts and the Golf Pro's responsibilities. The
Committee also asked that Mr. Theriault discuss with Mr. Enman his reactions
to including a requirement in the contract that should he sell his current
residence in Bruer he would then relocate to the City of Bangor. Mr.
Theriault indicated that he would address these two issues and have a
potentially revised contract for Council review on Monday. The Committee
then nnved to approve the contract with these two areas to be further
investigated prior to final Council action. This was approved by the
Committee.
