MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 22, 2018 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br />Printup noted Crystal Bay Road received its second lift of pavement recently, is striped, and looks nice. <br /> <br />Seals gave kudos to the Orono Public Works Department for their work on Crystal Bay Road. <br /> <br />Seals noted she has received a lot of outreach from the residents about a project that was recently <br />reviewed at the Planning Commission. The property is currently zoned one house per two acres and not <br />for high density. Seals stated the proposal does not match what the site is zoned and that she sees no <br />reason to increase the density. <br /> <br />Seals reported the new fire engine is now in place at Station 2. Seals stated a lot of the firefighters <br />voluntarily spent Friday night decking the engine out, which is another testament to the great citizens of <br />Orono. <br /> <br />Crosby indicated he will be speaking with Chief Van Eyll to see if he can get their support of the <br />Firefighters for Healing Charity. <br /> <br />Walsh noted the Orono 2040 Comprehensive Plan Amendment open house is this Thursday, <br />September 25, and that he would encourage the residents to come and see what is going on. The plan will <br />be approved by the end of the year. <br /> <br />Walsh stated the Orono Development and Code Review Committee will be meeting on November 8 with <br />the goal of trying to simplify things in Orono. <br /> <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br /> <br />10. RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE ORONO ACTIVITY CENTER PROJECT <br /> GRANT APPLICATION <br /> <br />Rief reported he recently met with the Orono School District and provided some updates on things taking <br />place in Orono. The Orono School District is currently working on a grant through the Hennepin County <br />Youth Sports Program and has asked the City to help them achieve this goal by issuing a formal <br />resolution in support of the grant application. The School District is asking for grant dollars to do some <br />of the alternative projects inside the field house and the grant application is an effort to try to save some <br />money on the project. <br /> <br />Crosby moved, Seals seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6914, a Resolution of Support for the <br />Orono Activity Center Project Grant Application. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br />Rief noted absentee voting is still open and that he would encourage the residents to vote. <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
