MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,December 9,2019 6:30 o'clock p.m. Seals seconded the motion. Walsh said all the City land would be staked out so everyone knows where it is in the spring. It would be nice to get some kind of design drawn to figure out what it takes to get an actual public access trail through the easements that the City already has so people don't have to deal with walking through somebody's yard. Seals stated that is why she jumped to second what Printup said. She thinks the more things can stay on public land,the better off the City is. If the City has the land,try to figure a way on it. Crosby agreed with Seals. Seals said there is no reason to put an easement on someone's land if the City has something they can work with. Walsh stated it's always workable but it's how much it costs and how long it takes. Seals said Orono has a great head of Public Works and Parks. Johnson asked to hear the motion again. Council members and Staff discussed the motion was to treat it with a hammerhead and stake out the public property so everyone can see it, no vacation, and having the already drawn-up plan of a hammerhead. Mattick clarified that Printup is denying the request and directing Staff to prepare designs for a hammerhead,then extending the trail and he asked if that was fair. Crosby and Seals confirmed his statement. Walsh said the hammerhead has already been designed. Johnson wanted to make sure the neighbors understand where the City property is. Walsh added Staff will have direction and it can't really be done until spring. VOTE: Ayes 5,nays 0. RECESS AND RECONVENE The meeting recessed at 8:30 p.m. and reconvened at 8:38 p.m. 24.
