ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 10, 1990 HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR STUDY CONTINUED • It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Nettles, to accept staff's recommendation to enlist the services of Dahlgren, Shardlow and Uban regarding a work program for expertise on the Highway 12 Corridor and a transportation subcontractor as needed, in an amount not to exceed $5,000.00. Motion, Ayes -5, Nays -0. Motion passed. LAKE USE AND MANAGEMENT Bernhardson had requested that this item be discussed at the time of the LMCD report. ON SITE SEPTIC MANAGER POSITION Bernhardson stated that staff has included in the budget the request for an additional position for an on -site septic manager. He said, "It has become increasingly more difficult for staff to keep up with the program. Staff is presenting information relating to the septic program. My position at this point is that this should be considered as a full time position during the 1991 budget discussions. This evening I am asking Council to consider whether they object to considering this position in the 1991 budget. If there is an acceptable level of interest for further consideration staff is asking that the current temporary position be extended through to the end of the year. We do have a good employee and would like him to continue on a temporary basis until the end of the year." • Goetten said, "I think this additional position would be helpful, especially with the work to be done for Stubbs Bay sewer (if the project proceeds). My only concern is where this person would have a desk. In talking with staff I learned that the Council Chambers is presently being used by the temporary person performing this function." It was moved by Mayor Grabek, seconded by Goetten, to accept staff's recommendation to continue the program through the end of the year and will table the balance of the discussion until the budget discussions later this year. Motion, Ayes -5, Nays -0. Motion passed. 1991 BUDGET /WORK SESSION It was the consensus of Council to set November 8th at 6:00 p.m. as the tentative time and date for the work session to review the 1991 budget. ASSESSING SERVICE Bernhardson said, "Staff is recommending that we again hire Mr. Rolf Erickson as the City Assessor. I realize that the cost of the contract is substantially higher than what we are currently paying. I believe that the quality of Mr. Erickson's service warrants the increased cost." 40 - 23 -
