• MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MAY 24, 1993 PUBLIC COMMENTS Jennifer Dotzenroth, 3225 Casco Circle, reported at the LMLOA Government Affairs Committee meeting of the lakeshore homeowners held that evening there was discussion that the DNR has made an option on Gayles Marina. Moorse stated he has not received information confirming that. Dotzenroth asked to be updated regularly as this matter proceeds. Carol Burgess, 2800 Pheasant Road, expressed appreciation for the Council's past support for the goose removal program. She asked the Council to reconsider its continued support, and asked them to look at how the problem impacts other areas of Orono. She noted throughout the lakeshore community, other cities have supported this program with funding. • Mayor Callahan questioned how the project was funded. Burgess replied the residents of the area have paid $800 per year and the City has paid $200 per year. Mayor Callahan noted that during the past year, some residents expressed horror regarding the program. Burgess said the area is so filled with geese that children cannot play in their yards. She noted that Dr. Cooper of the University may have other suggestions to remove the geese. Mayor Callahan suggested the residents approach the LMCD for help funding the project. Hurr noted that other cities around the lake are funding removal only from public lands. She felt they must provide the same financial support for any problem if they authorize this funding. Mayor Callahan directed staff to obtain information from other lakeshore cities regarding their support of the program and report to the Council. ( * #6) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT #3 — RESOLUTION #3283 It was moved by Hurr, seconded by Jabbour, to adopt Resolution #3283 approving Comprehensive Plan Amendment #3. Ayes 5, nays 0. 2
