The Bangor City Council couldn’t agree on who should serve as its chair for the coming year at the panel’s first meeting since two incumbents and a newcomer were elected last week. During an organizational meeting on Wednesday morning, the nine-member council held five votes to decide who should replace Council Chairman Ben Sprague, but no nominees received a majority of votes. The council will attempt to resolve the stalemate during a regular meeting Wednesday night.
