LACONIA — The municipal Motorcycle Week Advisory Committee has created an Internet site where citizens can follow the committee’s meetings.

The MWAC site is at www.geocities.com/laconiamwac and contains the committee’s official meeting minutes.

Online correspondence to the committee can be directed to laconiamwac@yahoo.com or by regular mail to City of Laconia, Motorcycle Week Advisory Committee, 45 Beacon Street East, Laconia, 03246.

The MWAC will hold a public hearing on Bike Week on Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. in City Hall.

At the hearing, members of the public will be given five minutes to address any or all of the committee’s charges related to Bike Week.

Last November, the City Council established the committee to look objectively "at the event and its impact on the city’s public relations and infrastructure" to determine whether it is "in the city’s best interest" to assume responsibility for Bike Week and also whether its nine-day duration should be changed.

Additionally, the committee was charged with finding ways of creating a better relationship with businesses and finding alternative sources, other than the city, county and state, to pay for the costs of Bike Week.
