Orono City Council <br />Work Session Minutes <br />Monday, November 26, 2018 <br />Council Chambers 5:00 p.m. <br />Walsh mentioned that the city has dedicated ourselves to the density and lifestyle of Orono and <br />because of that we may end up paying a little more for some things. <br />Olson explained the various Enterprise Funds that are seeing increases and decreases. <br />Walsh mentioned that we have budgeted well in areas to stay ahead of the curve and in the long <br />run, we will be able to take advantage of the responsible budgeting we are doing now. <br />Olson noted that adopting the Capital Improvement Plan will not automatically approve all <br />purchases, it is used as a guide to be used for budget. <br />3. Comprehensive Plan Update <br />Community Development Direct Jeremy Barnhart distributed the paper maps for the Comp plan. <br />He explained that the Comp Plan will be presented at the December 10th meeting and that any <br />additional changes have been posted on the website. Barnhart mentioned that the packet <br />distributed tonight has all the comments received by the public. The Planning Commission met <br />on the November 18th and have approved the Comp Plan. Once it is approved it will be <br />submitted, and if any other changes are received, it will be brought back for approval. <br />Walsh mentioned that he would like to make sure the guidelines were modified back to the <br />original plans. <br />Council Member Aaron Printup asked why the numbers have changed so drastically since the <br />numbers shown in June. <br />Barnhart referred to the Transportation map depicted on page 4a3. Orono originally included the <br />entire area of the map and only needed to include the Orono section only. Because the Orono <br />area is much smaller than the entire map area, the numbers decreased drastically. <br />4. Food Fund Balance <br />There was discussion regarding the Food Fund Balance. The At Risk Kids funds is at $6,000. <br />5. Mission/Goals <br />City Administrator Dustin Rief presented a handout in regards to the City's mission/goals and <br />strategies. It will be discussed at the January Council Work Session. <br />Meeting End 6:32 p.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br />
