MINUTES OF ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 14, 1990 <br />• MAYOR'S REPORT - HIGHWAY 12 POLICY COMMITTEE CONTINUED <br />that his staff has highway and transportation expertise. Cook <br />believed that his firm could best serve the City in a consultant <br />capacity rather than hiring an outside firm. <br />Mayor Grabek advised Cook that he would take his offer into <br />consideration, but asked that staff look at other alternatives as <br />well. <br />It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember <br />Nettles, to direct staff to provide Council with information <br />pertaining to the hiring of a consultant. Goetten asked that the <br />information include the cost of the service. Nettles asked that <br />information include what each firm will do specifically to <br />address the corridor selection process. Callahan thought it <br />would be necessary for Council and staff to determine exactly <br />what information they want the consultant to provide. Mayor <br />Grabek indicated that he would like to have the consultant attend <br />all of the committee meetings to provide continuity. Motion, <br />Ayes -5, Nays -0. Motion passed. <br />OTHER <br />Councilmember Goetten asked Bernhardson if there have been <br />any developments with the Wayzata Public Works situation.

He encouraged the Council to establish a <br />committee as suggested by City Administrator Bernhardson. Mr. <br />Jabbour stated that the word "conservation" does not exist in the <br />LMCD's Comprehensive Plan.
