Calais council approves rules, multiple three-year board appointments and a restaurant license renewal

At its Nov. 6, 2005 meeting, the Calais City Council approved its council rules and orders and completed several routine appointments and a license renewal by voice votes recorded in the meeting minutes.

Councilor (S3) moved to approve the council rules and orders; the motion was seconded and the chair asked "All those in favor?" The transcript records the question and the meeting proceeding, indicating the motion passed by voice vote; the transcript does not record numeric tallies.

The council then handled board appointments by motion. Councilor (S5) moved to appoint Teresa Porter to a three-year term on the school district trustees, which was seconded and approved by the council. Ron Terrell was moved and appointed to the planning board for three years. The council also appointed Mason McCuell and Brad Terrell to the board of assessment review for three-year terms. The motion language in the record includes: "Move that we approve Teresa Porter as a 3 year term to the school district trustees." The transcript records voice approvals after each motion; specific vote counts or roll-call votes are not included in the record.

The council also considered a license renewal for Fitzgerald's Cabin and House Restaurant; a motion to approve the renewal was seconded and passed by voice vote. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn that was seconded and approved.

All actions described above are recorded in the meeting transcript as motions followed by general confirmations of approval; numeric vote tallies, individual yes/no votes, or roll-call results are not specified in the transcript and therefore are reported here as not specified.
