MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETEING Monday,MAY 13,2019 7:00 o'clock p.m. Vogstrom stated they potentially could do. Walsh asked what the next step would be if the fence is not put up. Mattick stated if they are violating the terms of the approval,the work can be stopped. Walsh stated the problem is that weeks have gone by and that the City wants a solution. The solution that has been discussed tonight is a fence,which requires the City to do extra work to ensure it is put up and stays up. Walsh stated it sounds like that is a workable solution for the most part and that the city inspector will go out there in 48 hours to make sure it is up there or else a stop work order will be issued. Crosby stated the more delays that happen,the longer the project gets dragged out and that this project has taken way longer than it needs to. Crosby suggested the City give them a two-week opportunity to move the dirt properly and then they put the fence up. If the City says do not move the fence once it is up and it is moved,they will be in violation. Walsh moved,Johnson seconded,to require a fence be erected within 48 hours along the Vogstrom and Hueler property line. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 1,Crosby opposed.
