MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,Novem6er 26,2018 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 3. Provide the City Council with a comprehensive list of work for approval early in the year in <br /> conjunction with the CIP and budget approvals. <br /> 4. Ensure that the Public Works and Engineering Department's priorities and work items are <br /> meeting Council intent and direction. <br /> 5. Identify items for planning and engineering the year prior to their execution. <br /> Upon approval,the public works and engineering staff will begin executing the plan. Many of the <br /> projects will require further Council action for design approvals and/or award of contracts. The final plan <br /> and associated engineering proposals will be presented for approval at the December council meeting. <br /> Walsh stated four years ago when this was implemented, it gave the Council the opportunity to better <br /> budget for these items and look ahead on what projects should be completed. The City's infrastructure is <br /> now on an interactive 3D program,which allows future councils to look at the plans and go forward <br /> accordingly. Walsh stated in his view it is a good plan,and that when it comes to roads,the City is <br /> starting to catch up on improvements and are now switching to more maintenance. <br /> Walsh noted the City has a list of possible road projects for 2019 but that it is best to wait until after the <br /> spring thaw before deciding what road projects will be completed. <br /> The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Printup stated he had nothing to report but that he would like to wish everyone a happy belated <br /> Thanksgiving. <br /> Crosby commented he hopes everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. <br /> Dankey noted this Friday night is Orono's first annual Christmas tree lighting,which will happen at the <br /> Orono Golf Course from 5-7 p.m. Pictures with Santa and other activities are planned for the evening. <br /> Dankey commented she is also looking forward to the City of Orono getting these hockey rinks going and <br /> getting the kids outside. <br /> Walsh noted the City Council meeting on December 10 will be the last meeting of the year and will also <br /> be the last meeting for Council Member Dankey because she has chosen to step down from the Council. <br /> Matt Johnson will be joining the Council in 2019. <br /> CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br /> Rief reported all the City's 2018 road projects have been wrapped up for the year and that Staff is in the <br /> process of looking at 2019 road projects. <br /> Rief noted the truth-in-taxation meeting will be held prior to the December 10 Council meeting. <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br />
