COUNCIL December 8, 1910 Mr. Say Alley City Glerk City Hall Bangor, Maine 04401 Dear Say I enclose a draft of an ordinance relating to the Citizen's Advisory Committee. This has been suggested by the Committee itself, reviewed by me, amended in accordance with my suggestions and is ready to go on the agenda, I guess. I suppose to be consistent the Staff Attorney should review it as to form. 1 think we also need an order which should read something like this (maybe not to be put on the agenda until the ordinance is ready for its final reading?): "The membership of the Citizen's Advisory Committee as established by Chapter y of Article I of the Ordinances of the City of Bangor shall be the membership of the Committee as it existed under Section 8, Article 11, Chapter H. (now repealed) "The by-laws of the Citizen's Advisory Committee as established by Chapter 7 of Article I of the Ordinances of the City of Bangor shall be the by-laws of the Committee as they existed under Section 8, Article 11, Chapter II.
