Regular Agenda
1. ORDINANCE, Amending Chapter 116, Fire Prevention, of the Code of the City of
Bangor, By Adopting Standards for Cooking Equipment Used in Fixed, Mobile, and
Temporary Concessions.
Paul Nicklass explained that the intent of the ordinance amendment was to put into
place safety standards for outdoor vendors such as the vendors at the Folk Festival.
Same standards just have tiers- 2015-01 NFPA. The standards that the City Council is
being asked to adopt largely falls back on the state standards except that for tents
the state standards call for full fire suppression. The City is proposing that vendors
just add more fire extinguishers rather than requiring a full complete fire
suppression system, if mobile.
Councilor Sprague motioned to accept. Councilor Nealley seconded motion.
Councilor Nichols indicated that it was a motion unless doubted.
Councilor Nichols adjourned meeting at 5:18 P.M.
