ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD JANUARY 28, 1991 <br />COUNCIL INTERVIEWS CONTINUED <br />when the Comprehensive Plan was prepared and adopted. I still <br />believe in that Plan." <br />Jabbour asked Kelley whether in his opinion, it may be <br />difficult for the- Planning Commission to change roles if the City <br />Council redefines it. <br />Kelley replied, "I believe there are some people on the <br />Planning Commission that do not understand the role they are <br />being asked to carry out. We have had several new Planning <br />Commission membe:-s over the last few years. I do not believe <br />there has been any joint meeting where Council has indicated what <br />they expect of the Planning Commission. As to the Planning <br />Commission's flexibility, I hope they can change. These people <br />have taken the time to be involved, and can hopefully be flexible <br />enough to understand the City's direction." <br />Jabbour thanked Mr. Kelley for all of his time he has <br />dedicated to the City. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that Marvin Kramer is also withdrawing <br />his application. She again thank-ad all of the applicants for <br />attending t:ae meeting and for their presentations. Mayor <br />Peterson added that Council has a difficult decision to make, but <br />would reach a decision in two weeks. <br />Goetten expressed her appreciation for the applicants <br />interest and efforts and was pleased to see that people wish to <br />become involved. <br />Callahan urged the applicants to seek positions that may be <br />available on the Park Commission, Planning Commission, or other <br />committees, should they not be appointed for the Council <br />position. <br />Jabbour stated that Orono is fortunate to have so many <br />quality people interested in serving the Community., <br />APPROVAL OF MINUTES* <br />It was moved by Goetten, seconded by Callahan, to approve <br />the Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting held January 14, 1991. <br />Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0.
