MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Tuesday, November 12, 2019 <br />6:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Walsh replied that he missed Jackie, was very sad to see Jackie go, and that we don't have Jackie <br />anymore. We have someone who will just do it offline and nobody will be here. <br />Crosby mentioned it is not the same. <br />Printup stated that means everything will be word for word and brevity is key. <br />Walsh agreed that brevity is key. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br />22. APPROVAL OF OFFICIAL 2020 CALENDAR <br />Rief stated they were presenting the annual calendar for 2020. There are two options being brought <br />forward: One, to leave the normal meeting times; another one, to potentially move meeting times up to <br />6:00 p.m. and then have a work session for Council before every meeting at 5:00 p.m. <br />Walsh asked if that would move the Planning Commission also to 6:00 p.m. <br />Rief confirmed that and said that also applied to the Park Commission. <br />Crosby asked if the work session would be before every meeting. <br />Walsh confirmed it would be at 5:00 p.m. at every meeting. Instead of two hours at the end of every <br />month, it would be one hour each time. There may be times where a work session isn't needed but one <br />would be planned at 5:00 p.m. every time, allowing everybody to get home a little better. Staff sits around <br />a lot because they are waiting for the meeting at 7:00 p.m., so this would be trying to make things as <br />efficient as possible in government. If it doesn't work, it can be changed. He thought it was worth giving <br />it a shot. <br />Printup clarified that "sitting around" means working up until the meeting. <br />Walsh agreed with Printup's clarification. <br />Crosby asked if the proposal would be to set it that way for the whole year. <br />Walsh answered yes and said that could always be changed. <br />Crosby proposed a trial run of six months. <br />Walsh noted an initial calendar has to be put out. <br />Crosby asked if the calendar could be changed midyear. <br />Walsh answered that it could be changed any time the Council wanted to. <br />Crosby agreed that it would be fine. <br />Page 16 of 17 <br />
