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 />
