ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD SEPTEMBER 10, 1990 <br />LMCD REPORT <br />• looking at <br />communities <br />I'm playing <br />will look <br />cities the <br />satisfied." <br />CONTINUED <br />Lake Minnetonka back in <br />have not responded to the <br />devil's advocate here, but <br />at this. They'll feel that <br />opportunity to be involved <br />1973 and <br />the <br />lake <br />area <br />concerns <br />they <br />expressed. <br />I believe <br />that's <br />how <br />they <br />they have now <br />given <br />the <br />and they <br />are <br />still <br />not <br />Goetten and Mayor Grabek stated that the City of Orono has <br />been responding to this issue for some time. <br />Mayor Grabek said, "We have responded to issues such as <br />parking in a manner we believe is best for our community. I <br />think the Metropolitan Council is looking for smooth, political <br />way, over a long period of time, to get what they want.. If they <br />are going to get what they want anyway, no matter what we do, <br />then I think we ought to be on record stating that we do not <br />approve. I would like to propose that we impose on Ed and Allan <br />one more time to draft a position paper that the Council approves <br />and send it to the other communities. The letter can request <br />that they come to our September 24th Council Meeting. We can <br />hold a special meeting if need be." <br />Hurr stated that many other cities hold their council <br />meetings on the same Monday nights. <br />• Mayor Grabek suggested that staff identify the cities that <br />are in question of Orono's position and concentrate on them. <br />Hurr stated that she could provide a list of those <br />communities that have voted to support the plan. <br />Mayor Grabek said, "Each of us could attend the council <br />meetings for those cities not yet decided and present our <br />position." <br />Goetten stated that she would still like those cities that <br />are already in opposition to the plan to get a copy of the <br />letter. <br />Callahan said, "Just one additional point. The City of <br />Orono is not against additional parks or access on the lake. <br />What we oppose is the fact that the plan does not address what <br />impact those additional factors will have on the lake and what <br />should be done accordingly. Also, if this plan ends up before <br />the Legislature, it is impossible to guess what will they will do <br />with it. It doesn't seem that it would be the way to proceed to <br />get your way." <br />Hurr agreed. <br />Mayor Grabek confirmed with Hurr that the position paper is <br />• - 7 - <br />
