Meeting Adjourned at 8:34 PM
PUBLIC COMMENT John Hiatt asked for an update on parking permits for
healthcare providers working in the downtown area.He also
requested clarification on what constitutes a meeting of the
Council and when notice needed to be provided as he thought
three members of the Business and Economic Development
committee attended a meeting without notice. City Solicitor
Norman Heitmann explained that if a majority of the Council or
a committee attended and were discussing either City Council
business or Committee business respectively,that would be
considered a meeting and notice would need to be given. Three
members in attendance at a meeting that was not discussing
committee business did not by itself create a problem. John Hiatt
also asked if he could serve as an election clerk and the City
Clerk indicated that he was eligible.
Kristie Minor encouraged the City Council to drop by to see the
Bangor area wrestling practice or meets.
