Bangor City Council postpones joint school budget workshop after school committee absence
Summary
A planned joint budget workshop between the Bangor City Council and the Bangor School Committee was postponed after the school committee did not attend; council members moved, seconded and postponed the meeting by unanimous consent.
The Bangor City Council postponed a planned joint budget workshop with the Bangor School Committee after members of the school committee did not attend.
The meeting's presiding official opened the session by saying, “This is intended to be a joint city council and school committee budget workshop to review the school budget.” The presiding official then noted the school committee’s absence and called for a motion: “As the school committee is not in attendance, we're thinking of accepting a motion to postpone the meeting to, a point at which the school committee can be present.”
An unidentified council member moved to postpone, another unidentified council member seconded. After asking, “Is there any objection?” and hearing none, the presiding official said, “Seeing none, the meeting will be postponed. Thanks, everyone.”
No new date was set during the brief session; the presiding official indicated the workshop would be rescheduled for a time when the school committee could be present. The council did not discuss budget details at this meeting because the workshop did not proceed.
The postponement delays a joint review of the school budget until representatives from both bodies can attend. No votes with recorded tallies or additional actions were taken during the session.
