MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 26, 2017 7:00 o'clock p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS — Continued Crosby indicated that is correct. Doepke asked if Wayzata would be doing that even though they will not be receiving any money from Orono. Crosby stated on a mutual aid system, the other fire department would get paid for that call. Doepke asked if both the Wayzata Fire Department and the Long Lake Fire Department would simultaneously respond in a house fire situation. Fire Chief Van Eyll stated the box alarm system is set up for 12 large events. In those situations, auto aid would be provided by surrounding departments, and in a house fire situation, the Wayzata Fire Department would still be called to respond. Van Eyll noted there are no payments that go back and forth between the two cities on the mutual aid. Doepke asked if that is the situation currently in the affected area. Van Eyll stated Wayzata would respond but that it is possible the Long Lake Fire Department would respond if Wayzata sends out a box alarm. Van Eyll stated if it is simply a small residential fire, Long Lake would not respond and vice versa. Van Eyll stated the mutual aid would only come into play in the larger events. Doepke asked whether the level of services would be the same with the Long Lake Fire Department as it is currently with the Wayzata Fire Department. Walsh stated it would be. Walsh noted the Orono Police Department would also respond to medical emergencies and other events. Doepke commented he found out about this by reading the local newspaper. Doepke asked if the residents were notified of the potential change. Walsh indicated it was published as all agenda items are published but that no specific letter was sent out to the residents. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 20. ORONO WOODS CONTRACT City Administrator Reeder reviewed his Staff report dated June 26, 2017. Reeder noted the new property owner is requesting the City provide fee title to the property, waive repayment of the park dedication and SAC and WAC charges, extend the tax increment financing district until 2028, and end the requirement that the building remain a senior building in 2044 rather than 2100. If the City denies the request, the TIF will remain in effect until 2024. Caitlyn Goff, Lang -Nelson, 4601 Wayzata Boulevard, stated there is one change to the restrictive covenant, and that is that they would extend the affordability piece through the year 2042. Page 3of12
