The next LPC term lasts for two years, from July 2010 to June 2012. Bangor has appointed Assistant City Solicitor Paul Nicklas to its one full seat on the LPC already, but may cast a ballot for another municipal official for a second seat shared with Hermon. With respect to the second seat, traditionally Bangor and Hermon have each nominated a representative for the seat. Bangor nominated Councilor Richard Bronson at the Government Operations meeting on May 11. Bangor and Hermon have then each traditionally voted for their own nominee. If this occurs again this year, it would, as in the past, result in a tie, which Bangor and Hermon have resolved in the past by sharing the seat; Bangor sends a representative for one year and Hermon for the other year, with each representative serving as an alternate for the other (and for Bangor's other, full seat). This Order directs the City Clerk to cast Bangor's vote for Councilor Richard Bronson. The Government Operations Committee recommends approval. Department Head Manager's Comments: .
