As someone who lives in this same town, black bears are more like overweight raccoons.
Fun fact, our “city hall” is at the tiny community airport, which also had a restaurant with the best chicken wings in town (salt and vinegar wings FTW). The restaurant was still going when this happened in 2019, so my guess is the bear smelled the food and went looking for the kitchen, only to get sidetracked by the city council meeting.
The flag has a grizzly. Compared to that, a black bear is like a deer

So the bear came for the food, but stayed for active community participation
Sounds like an upstanding citizen to me! More people should be like bear
More community meetings should bribe people to attend by offering food.
