Item No. 0 9 6
Date: August 10, 2009
Item/Subject ORDINANCE, Amending the Code of the City of Bangor, Chapter 23, Boards, Committees
and Commissions, by Amending § 23-22, Subcommittees Authorized, to Provide for
Subcommittees as Needed Instead of Standing Subcommittees
Responsible Department: Community & Economic Development
Commentary:
Article III of the Code of the City of Bangor establishes the Commission on Cultural Development and
§23-22 requires that there be two standing subcommittees of the Commission, the "Art in Public Spaces
Subcommittee" and the "Programs and Grants Subcommittee". The Commission finds that the majority of
the time the Commission is duplicating the efforts of these subcommittees and that the Commission can
perform its responsibilities without the subcommittees. The Commission, at its July 30, 2009 meeting,
voted to not utilize subcommittees except when deemed appropriate by the Commission. This
Amendment would authorize the Commission to form subcommittees and would eliminate the
requirement for the Commission to have an Art in Public Spaces Subcommittee and the Programs and
Grants Subcommittee" as standing subcommittees of the Commission.
The Commission on Cultural Development's purpose and mission is to promote the development of Bangor as
a regional arts center that nurtures the artistic and cultural expression of its diverse peoples.
