MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 12, 2019 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br />18. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL — PROFESSIONAL LEGAL SERVICES <br />Rief noted the City Council a few years ago adopted Resolution 6585 to establish a schedule for the RFP <br />process for all professional services contracted by the City. Staff reviews the document annually for any <br />scheduled RFPs. The civil attorney schedule is for 2019. <br />Staff recommends approval of the Professional Legal Services RFP and to establish an ad-hoc <br />Professional Legal Services RFP review committee. <br />Walsh stated he would be on that committee and that he will appoint Aaron Printup as well. <br />Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to approve the request for proposals for professional legal services <br />and to establish an ad-hoc Professional Legal Services RFP Review Committee by appointing <br />Mayor Dennis Walsh, Council Member Aaron Printup, and City Administrator Dustin Rief to the <br />adhoc review committee. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />19. APTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF SOLICITORS <br />Rief reported in May Staff had administratively approved the City's solicitor licenses for a group of <br />applicants outlined in Staff memo for pest control services. Aptive Environmental has requested an <br />extension. Staff is not allowed to administratively approve an extension. Solicitors are only allowed 10 <br />days per calendar year. The City did receive one complaint about this solicitor from a resident. The <br />contact happened outside of their allotted time frame, which should be taken into consideration when <br />discussing whether an extension should be given. <br />Johnson indicated he is not in favor of an extension. Johnson noted there might be a typo because it says <br />the permit date was May of 2018. <br />Rief stated that was a typo. <br />Johnson noted there was a complaint received in June or July. <br />Rief stated they also approached a house that had a no solicitor sign. <br />Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to deny an extension of the Solicitor's License for Aptive <br />Environmental. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT, Continued <br />Rief stated National Night Out was a good success and that there were a number of nice parties going on <br />throughout Orono. <br />Rief stated earlier that same day he spent some time with Channel 5 on Big Island. The interview went <br />well and it should be positive coverage of Big Island. <br />Page 7 of 8 <br />
