Item/Subject: Order: Authorizing a Transfer from the General Fund Contingency
Account for purposes of Barking a Grant to the Paul Bunyan
Snowmobile Club to Assist in Extending and Maintaining a
Snowmobile Trail into Bangor
Responsible Department: City Council
Members of the Paul Bmyan Snowmobile Club have mat on several occasions with the Finance
conrlttee to discuss their plana to eaten a snormobile trail free near the xermon/Bangor
city limits to the intersection of Mass and Button Streets. The Club believes that such a
extension will provide anowschiles with access to a significant portion of Bangor•s
hospitality industry had genitals Bangor to capture a higher level of snokmobile trade. Me
Club requested that the City dedicate rev a tecetved from n wmebileregistrations to the
Club to assist them in extending and maintaining such a trail.
as a result of these discussions, the Finance cmmtttarecommendedhas recommended that a transfer of
$3,000be nestle true contingency for this purpose. The committee does not feel that
omobile registration revenues
e Should hspecifically dedicated. They believe a annual
request for financial supports
should be ends a a part of the budget process. The Club
would, therefore, reapply annually for support.
Several other suggestions were also made at the meeting. These Included a request that the
Club work with the hospitality industry to determine the Impact of the trail extension a
their business, that the City recognize Unat a number of years may be required to see a major
impact as knowledge of the trial is spread, and that the Police Department closely menitar
the intersection Of Dutton and Main as well as Other highway crossings to determine whether
this use is compatible with Our traffic patterns.
Finally, the proposed trail extension makes use of a variety of City properties including the
Airport, Golf Course, and Mass Park. The City meat grant pethissim for this use. the Legal
Department is Currently reviewing the Trail use Agreement submitted by the Club. In the
attached Order, the grant to the club is condltionetl upon approval by the City for the use
