Council finds councilor violated ethics code and orders training
Summary
The council passed Order 26‑244, finding that Councilor Mallor violated three provisions of the city's code of ethics related to conduct at an August 14, 2025 Historic Preservation Commission meeting, and imposed a requirement to undergo training.
The Bangor City Council voted to adopt Order 26‑244, which follows a written advisory opinion from the city's board of ethics finding that Councilor Mallor violated three provisions of the city's code of ethics. The order requires Mallor to undergo training with the city's legal department on appropriate use of titles and disclaimers when speaking in official settings.
The complaint stemmed from Mallor's approach to a commission during a recess of a historic preservation hearing, where the board concluded the statements could diminish public confidence because the capacity in which Mallor was speaking was ambiguous. The motion passed after public comment that both criticized sanctions as symbolic and urged consistent application of the code to all council members.
