Item No. ;. °_' 50
Date: July 12, 2010
Item/Subject: ORDER, Casting Bangor's Ballot for Its Elected MMA Legislative Policy
Committee Member for Councilor Richard Bronson
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
The Maine Municipal Association's Legislative Policy Committee of municipal officials provides
policy guidance to MMA regarding legislative action. 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.
