MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 8, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />10. NAVARRE LIGHT POLE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS (continued) <br />Levang noted the City Council has discussed not doing all of the poles. <br />Edwards stated there are ten that have hanging basket attachments, which is why he chose that number in <br />his estimates, but that the Council could do more. <br />McMillan suggested the Council consider doing ten this year and then reviewing it. McMillan stated they <br />could do west of County Road 19, with six on one side and four on the other. McMillan stated in her <br />view it would be better to concentrate the decorations in one area rather than having them scattered <br />around. <br />Walsh asked if the Navarre Initiative Group is excited about getting some holiday lights in Navarre. <br />Ralph Kempf, 3675 Togo Road, stated the Navarre Initiative Group has been concentrating on other <br />things but that they would like to see it happen. Kempf stated in his view the addition of the decorations <br />will give the impression that the City is taking steps to brighten up the downtown area. <br />McMillan stated in her view the snowflake is bright, striking, and festive. <br />Levang asked if the websites indicate how much light comes off of the decorations. <br />Edwards indicated there are a number of options ranging from soft white light to LEDs. <br />McMillan stated the decorations also do not have to all be the same. McMillan suggested Edwards e-mail <br />the options to the Council and that they can review this item in a couple of weeks. McMillan <br />recommended the options also be given to the Navarre Initiative Group. McMillan suggested the Council <br />take another look at the Navarre corridor as well. <br />Cornick asked what the latest date to order them would be. <br />Edwards stated if the City would like them installed by Thanksgiving, it could probably be as late as <br />October but that sooner is better. <br />Cornick suggested people be allowed to vote on the decorations at the police facility open house. <br />McMillan stated the Council can narrow it down to four or five and then have the public vote on the one <br />they prefer at the open house. <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT, CONTINUED <br />Edwards reported construction on Stubbs Bay Road has started and that work will be commencing on <br />Watertown Road in the near future. <br />Edwards noted the banners have been installed in Navarre. Edwards stated one of the light poles will <br />need to be replaced because it was hit by a vehicle. <br />Page 15 of 19 <br />
