During the M3 budget process, the City Council requested information regarding those services
provided by the Ory of Bangor which serve regional populations, either at the cost of the Ory alone
or which involved some Porto of payment to the City for the servmce provided. While this information

upcoming budget process.
In accordance with our Code, the attached order will establish this special committee. It will be
charged with reviewing the current mix of regional services involving the City of Bangor Inducing
those provided through formal Interlocal agreements and those solely providetl by the City of
Bangor. It is also authoiaed to explore other City functions and services which might be more
efficiently performed on a regional or multi -jurisdictional basis. The Committee will be composed of
three members of the City Council appointed by the Counal Chair. It will remain in existence until
January 31, 2003, at which time It will make its report. The Finance Department will provide staff
support.
