MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — OCTOBER 28, 1991 <br />AUTHORIZATION TO INITIATE HIRING PROCESS FOR FULL TIME & PART <br />TIME OFFICER — CONT. <br />Moorse explained that they are currently trying to stay within <br />the budget level and are not asking to add additional salaries, <br />but rather reallocate dollars. <br />Goetten asked that the Council be provided with the cost of these <br />new positions, to give them a bottom line as far as the budget. <br />It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to <br />authorize the initiation of the hiring process for a full time <br />officer, and to authorize initiation of an eligibility list for <br />part time officers to be authorized to hire at a later date. <br />Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />Mayor Peterson asked when they could expect the report requested, <br />and asked that it be submitted for review at the next meeting. <br />( #13) REQUEST FROM THE NAVARRE BUSINESS & PROFESSIONAL COUNCIL <br />REGARDING HOLIDAY DECORATIONS <br />John O'Sullivan and Janet Symons were present to represent the <br />business community. <br />O'Sullivan noted that in recent years both Spring Park and Mound <br />have added Christmas decorations and the Navarre business <br />district has decided they would like to also purchase <br />decorations. He noted that to date they have received <br />committments of $4,000 for the purchase. O'Sullivan stated that <br />they are asking the Council for assistance in initial <br />installation of the brackets, seasonal installation and removal <br />of the brackets, and storage of the decorations. <br />Symons noted there would be 40 poles decorated and 4 angels to be <br />located at the intersection of County Roads 15 and 19. <br />Goetten asked what the cost of installation would be. <br />Gerhardson noted that hasn't been determined yet, but he has one <br />estimate for installation at $85 /hour. He.noted it would be best <br />to contract for the labor as the Public Works Department is <br />unequipped to do such a job. <br />O'Sullivan noted that the business community has committed to all <br />updates and repairs to the decorations. <br />Goetten suggested the City check with surrounding communities to <br />see how they have their decorations installed. <br />Butler noted that she wished the sign said Orono instead of <br />Navarre. <br />I <br />
