r. ,•� <br />REGULAR CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 25, 1991 <br />(#8)PLANNING COMMISSION INTERVIEWS CONTINUED <br />the Planning Commission and Council so that the City is not <br />reacting to events as they arise. <br />In conclusion I would say that the Highway 12 issue is going <br />to affect all of us one way or another.. I cannot honestly <br />conceive that any resident of Orono would be in favor of any of <br />the proposed routes I have seen, other than Highway 55. The <br />hardcover issue is going to pose problems and affect what I have <br />read in the Comprehensive_ Plan is a very delicate balance in this <br />entire watershed area." <br />Mr. David Rahn and Janice Berg were not present. <br />Jabbour stated that it is refreshing to see the caliber of <br />people coming forth to volunteer for such positions. He thanked <br />the applicants for their interest in the City. <br />Mayor Peterson echoed Councilmember Jabbour's sentiments. <br />Hanson added that he had not addressed the issues of Highway <br />1.2 and the city facilities. He stated that his position on <br />Highway ;.2 has been well documented through his participation <br />With the Planning Commission. With respect to new city <br />facilities, he stated that there is a dire nerd for new <br />facilities and urged the City Council to move swiftly in that <br />direction. <br />( #9) TOWN MEETING <br />Mayor Peterson explained that the purpose of this item being <br />included on the agenda is to give Council an opportunity to <br />compile a list of topics for discussion at the Town Meeting. <br />Goetten felt that no matter what preventative measures <br />Council takes prior to the meeting, people will still attend the <br />Town Meeting in hopes of discussing Highway 12 and /or City <br />facilities. She suggested that Council could provide a brief <br />update of the major issues currently before the City, and then <br />state specifically that no questions will be taken. <br />Butler suggested that could be accomplished by preparing a <br />position paper to distribute to people that come to the meeting. <br />Jabbour stated that any discussion at all about Highway 12, <br />rlay result in that being the only topic discussed. and nothing <br />else. <br />Goetten stated that some people that come to be meeting may <br />not have read the paper, and would not know that certain topics <br />will not be discussed. Stie said, "I would not want -to disappoint <br />anyone who came to the meeting hoping for updated information on <br />- 20 - <br />
