ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 11, 1991 <br />STORM WATER MANAGEMENT - CONCEPT REVIEW <br />Bernhardson presented Council with information regarding the <br />concept of storm water management. He requested Council to <br />review the information and provide further direction to Staff. <br />It was moved by Mayor Peterson, seconded by Goetten, to <br />table this item until the MZLrch 11, 1991, Council meeting. <br />Motion, Ayes -4, Nays -0. Motion passed. <br />HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR SELECTION <br />Mayor Peterson asked Staff to clarify what the Planning <br />Commission's recommendation is expected to be. She asked, "Will <br />they be recommending a specific corridor ?" <br />Mabusth stated that the Planning Commission would probably <br />provide Council with a recommendation indicating where, in their <br />opinion, is the best area for a corridor. <br />It was the consensus of Council that there 'is no need to <br />delay the Planning- Commission's recommendation until the traffic <br />forecast is received. <br />Goetten stated that she was disappointed in the number of <br />Planning Commission members that attended the February 6, 1991 <br />Meeting. <br />Mayor Peterson concurred and asked Staff to convey the <br />Council's disappointment and concern about the attendance of <br />Planning Commissioners at the Highway 12 meetings. Site directed <br />Staff to contact th•z- Planning Commission members unable to attend <br />the•work session and to advise them that Council considers the <br />Highway 12 matter of great importance and seeks the direction of <br />;the Planning Commission. Council also added that they were <br />concerned that members failed to advise .Staff prior to the <br />meeting of their absence. <br />Mabusth stated that she will convey to the Planning <br />Commission members not in attendance at the last meeting of <br />Council's concern and of the need to advise Staff prior to a <br />meeting of their inability to attend. <br />Bernhardson said, "If it is Council's wish, the Planning <br />Commission recommendation could be presented for -your <br />consideration at the March 11, 1991. The information presented <br />would include goals and objectives, as well as a preferred <br />corridor location. Council may want to just 'accept the <br />information at that meeting and wait for the traffic forecast <br />before discussing this issue publicly." <br />Callahan stated that it would not be beneficial if the <br />Planning Commission's recommendation stated that there should be <br />no Highway 12 project at all. <br />- 22 - <br />
