ON THE AGENDA: Town & School Meetings This Week
It's our round up of upcoming government meetings. All are public. That means you can go and be involved.
Every week we document Bar Harbor, MDI, and Trenton government and school meetings that we know of. Please let us know if we’ve missed something. Also, sometimes things are on the town calendars and are cancelled or rescheduled, so make sure to double check before you head over! This is especially true if no agenda has been posted.
We’ve separated the meetings and agendas by towns and then put school meetings together.
BAR HARBOR GOVERNMENT MEETINGS!
As of Monday morning, some councilors have said that they will individually meet with residents about the cruise ship article on the warrant.
Earl Brechlin: Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 2 to 5 p.m., Jesup Library
“I'm going to be at the Jesup Library in Bar Harbor on Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 2 to 5 pm to have individual conversations with town voters who have questions about the Bar Harbor Town Council’s cruise ship management proposal.
Matt Hochman: Wednesday, September 25, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday, October 5 from 2-5 p.m., Jesup Library
”As part of an effort to answer questions and clear up misinformation about the council's cruise ship plan. I will be having "office hours" at the Jesup on Wednesday September 25 from 4 pm to 8 pm and Saturday October 5 from 2 pm to 5 pm.”
Kyle Scot Shank: Wednesday, October 9, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
“Bar Harbor friends!
“As part of an effort to answer questions, promote dialogue, and clear up misunderstandings about the council's cruise ship plan. I will be having ‘office hours’ at the Jesup on Wednesday, October 9th from 6 PM to 8 PM.
“Please feel free to stop by, say hello, ask questions, and have a chat!”
As we see (or are told) of others, we’ll update.
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
According to Bar Harbor’s website, “Meetings that are broadcast live can be viewed at home by watching Cable Access Channel 7 or 1303 (Spectrum Cable only) and online at Town Hall Streams.”
All meetings are open to the public. If there is an executive session, that part of the meeting is not open.
All the meetings take place at the Bar Harbor Municipal Building at 93 Cottage Street unless otherwise noted. And they usually have a time for public comments. This is not true about executive sessions, which are closed to the public.
So, go! Be informed! Be part of the process. You deserve to be.
