Date: July 25, 2011
Item/Subject: Ordinance, Amending Chapter 9, City Council, Section 21, Proceedings
to Be Recorded, of the Code of the City of Bangor, to Clarity Recording Proceedings
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
City ordinance currently calls for meetings of the City Council, Planning Board, and
Board of Appeals to be taped. Given the quality of the new audiovisual equipment in
Council Chambers, It is iw longer necessary to make separate tapes of these meetings.
If approved, the proposed ordinance amendment would darify that the audiovisual
recording will be the legal recording of the public meetings.
