Item No. 10 044
Date: 12-28-09
Item/Subject: Order, Appointing Sealer of Weights and Measures
Responsible Department: Code Enforcement Division
Commentary:
The City's Sealer of Weights and Measures has had to retire due to health concerns. Mr. Briggs,
who is the Sealer of Weights and Measures in 23. small area communities, has offered his
services. Mr. Freeman will continue to be our Sealer for Taximeters.
This position is responsible for verifying weighing and measuring devices throughout Bangor
such as gasoline pumps and grocery scales. Individual businesses pay a fee directly to the
Sealer for his work at their establishments. As a result, there is no cost to the City for this
function. This is the same as the arrangement the City has used in the past with our prior
sealer, and it has served us well.
