• <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON AUGUST 22, 199 i <br />( #12) REQUEST TO REMOVE ASSESSMENT FROM TAX FORFEIT <br />PROPERTY -500 HANLON AVENUE <br />The property consists of two lots, one vacant and one with a house. Moorse stated <br />when the original assessment was made, it was divided in half between the two lots. The <br />reason was so there would only be one unit. The owner only paid the assessment on the <br />lot with the house and later sold this house and let the lot go to tax forfeiture. The new <br />owners would like to obtain this lot tax forfeit and then build a garage on it. They would <br />like the city to forgive the assessment since the city has done this in the past. Moorse <br />indicated the fact that only one -half of the full assessment has been paid makes this <br />situation different from others in which the City forgave the assessment. <br />Hurr moved to deny the request to forgive the assessment on 500 Hanlon Avenue, <br />Jabbour seconded. Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( * #13) REQUEST FOR UNPAID LEAVE OF ABSENCE - JAMIE BOSMA <br />It was moved by Hun and seconded by Goetten to approve the extension of the unpaid <br />leave of absence for Jamie Bosma to 9/5/94. Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />is ( #14) PROPOSED BRUSH DISPOSAL PROGRAM CHANGE <br />Moorse stated the City began to provide a site for brush disposal when burning was no <br />longer permitted. The City hauls the brush to the County brush site in Maple Grove but <br />the costs involved are not being recouped. He suggested people haul their own brush to <br />the Maple Grove site and pay the $1.50 per cubic yard instead of the fee of $3.00 per <br />cubic yard the city charges. Moorse states it would be more cost effective to discontinue <br />providing the City brush site and to instead provide the information to residents of the <br />availability of the Maple Grove site. <br />Hurr moved, Goetten seconded the discontinuation of the City brush site. Ayes 5, Nays <br />0. <br />( #15) INCREASE HOURS OF OFFICER BORIS TO FULL -TIME LEVEL <br />Moorse stated this is to replace the vacancy left open by the retirement of Lt. Fritzler. <br />This position was unfilled until it was determined what would happen with the contract <br />cities. The contracts have been approved. <br />Jabbour moved and Hurr seconded that the number of hours for Scott Boris be increased <br />to the full-time level and that his pay be increased to $15.061/hour.
