Item/Subject: Amendment m 4234 of the Cede of the City of Bangor—
Planning Board Membership
Responsible Department Community and Economic Development
Commentary:
Members of the Planning Board have reque ted the City Coumil consider increasing the numberof
associate members of the Planning Board to three. There are presently five members of the Planning
Board and two associate members. Five members or associate members are allowed to vote. Associate
members vote in the absence of regular members. Occasionally the Planting Board can not act on item
due to lack of a quomm, which consists of minimum offmw members or associate members of the
Board. All final decisions of the Board torture at lean three affirmative votes for passage. The presence
of fewer Nnn five members or associate members 9 a Planning Board meeting can place m applicant at a
disadvantage, same three affirmative votes are required for approval. Adding an additional associate
member should decrease ted number of occasions when there is a lack of a quorum or fewer Nan five
voting members or associate members. This Code amendment would increase the number of usociate
members of the Planning Board from two associate members to three associate members.
