ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 13, 1990 <br />1991 LMCD BUDGET CONTINUED • <br />nose to spite our face. It is my understanding that a portion of <br />this budget is for technical staff to assist the LMCD with the <br />formulation of the Management Plan." Councilmember Goetten said, <br />"I believe that the cities can opt to omit that from the budget." <br />Bernhardson said, "That would be the area to omit if we wish to <br />reduce our portion of the budget." Councilmember Callahan said, <br />"I believe that the activities in which the LMCD intends to <br />engage itself are not items which I believe should be funded. I <br />believe the LMCD is going to create problems - for itself by <br />continuing to accept funds from the DNR as well. It seems to me <br />that the LMCD is going to become nothing more than a mouthpiece <br />for the DNR." Bernhardson noted that he would ask Representative <br />Hurr to attend the August 27th Council Meeting. Motion, Ayes -4, <br />Nays -0. Motion passed. <br />COUNCIL SALARY ADJUSTMENT <br />Bernhardson stated that Council is required to make any <br />salary adjustments in advance of the upcoming election. He said, <br />"If it is Council's desire to adjust the current salaries, we <br />would include that in the budget." <br />Mayor Grabek said, "The word 'volunteer' encompasses service <br />to your City. If this position were a full time job on which <br />families and standards of living were based, I believe that <br />annual increases would be warranted. I don't believe that this • <br />kind of commitment is worthy of an increase." <br />It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Councilmember <br />Peterson, to maintain the same salaries for Council that <br />currently exist. Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. <br />TRANSIENT MERCHANT <br />Bernhardson presented an ordinance which more clearly <br />defines and limits transient merchants for Council's <br />consideration. <br />Mayor Grabek read the three revisions that would be <br />incorporated in the Transient Merchant Ordinance. <br />Councilmember Goetten <br />amendment would affect the <br />markets. <br />Bernhardson replied',. ""I <br />in'the past." " <br />Mayor Grabek believed <br />such organizations that they <br />questioned how this ordinance <br />ability of churches to have flea <br />don't believe we have addressed that <br />that due to the non - profit aspect of <br />would not be affected. <br />Goetten asked that staff review that aspect of the <br />ordinance. • <br />- 22 - <br />
