• <br />MINUTES OF A REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD JUNE 14, 1993 <br />( #14) 300 TONKA AVENUE - CONCEPTUAL REQUEST FOR SUBDIVISION /DROP <br />UNIT <br />Dave Christensen was present. <br />Gaffron explained the applicant and his neighbor propose the <br />vacation of Hill Street and splitting of 2 vacant lots, to be <br />combined with their respective properties. They also request that <br />the sewer unit for the vacant lots be dropped. <br />All members agreed the concept is a good idea. <br />MAYOR /COUNCIL REPORT <br />A) Hurr reported she has been working with Marge Gasch on amenities <br />for the new City Hall. A banner is proposed made out of fabric to <br />hang above the entrance in the Administration building, and the <br />Historical Society is arranging pictures to be hung. There has been <br />• discussion regarding on -going displays from either the schools or <br />Art Center. They have discussed using the brick wall in the Council <br />Chambers for name plates to honor Mayors of the City and citizens. <br />It is hoped some of the items wi I I be in place for the open house. <br />Kelley said he thought the ideas were great and did not have the <br />time to dedicate to make them happen, but trusted Hurr to use her <br />discretion. <br />Hurr asked that staff arrange for a fire truck and police car to <br />be available for children to view at the open house. <br />B) Goetten reported she and Hurr attended the League of Minnesota <br />Cities' conference in St. Cloud, at which she also gave a <br />presentation regarding the process they went through obtaining the <br />City Hall. The subject was controversial issues. <br />C) Kelley reported he and Moorse met with representatives of the <br />Fire Department to go over the budget. He explained a large portion <br />of the budget goes to the firemen for making calls, but that pay <br />is based on the number of calls made, which fluctuates. <br />Historically, if the amount budgeted was inadequate, Long Lake <br />would pay the difference until the following year. They have <br />discussed ways in which Orono could help offset this unbalance. <br />Moorse is working on a draft of the 1994 fire service contract, to <br />be reviewed early July. <br />• <br />16 <br />
