MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,February 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Walsh noted the City Council has tried to keep fees as low as they can, actually what it costs versus trying <br /> to get as much money as the City can. <br /> Johnson said he wanted to tell the Council what other cities were doing because they were not introduced. <br /> Crosby,Johnson,and Printup had a discussion regarding Orono being in the dock business to a degree but <br /> that it does not want to be overly involved. <br /> Barnhart asked if the City wanted to charge for a second boat. <br /> Walsh said no, as long as they go by the LMCD regulations. If the property owners want to have Jet Skis <br /> or boats,the residents are treating it like it is their property and they have to comply. It should be$325 a <br /> year whether it's one boat or two boats. <br /> Printup asked if it was normal to have more than one boat;he was thinking one boat. <br /> Walsh said they would have to have room for it. <br /> Crosby stated he did not know where they would fit more than one boat on those lots. <br /> Seals, Walsh,and Crosby discussed the need to address swimming/bathing rights if there are four docks <br /> and a lot of boats, since the area would be clogged up. Crosby stated he did not think the City should go <br /> down that path and did not think it would happen,and Walsh said there are still setbacks between <br /> neighbors and there are setbacks for docks and everything else for the LMCD. <br /> Mattick said if someone has a dock and a boat 20 feet from the shoreline,once you're talking about <br /> swimming on the surface water,they can do that in front of anyone's property. <br /> VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 1 (Johnson). <br /> FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT <br /> Olson had nothing to report. <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Johnson had nothing to report. <br /> Crosby noted Shannon's fiance got back safely from Kuwait.They are very grateful and also thankful for <br /> his service. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl. <br /> Printup had nothing to report. <br /> Seal said Planning Commissioner Mark McCutcheon broke his leg in two places playing broomball and <br /> asked everyone to keep him in their thoughts and prayers. <br /> Walsh encouraged everyone to participate in the local elections. He noted there was a story in the Star <br /> Tribune about vacation rentals edging out residents in resort villages. VRBOs are buying the property, <br /> Page 14 of 15 <br />
