• The Long Lake Fire Department Advisory Board met on Wednesday, July 31St. The agenda is attached for your information along with the su pplemental materials that were distributed. In summary: o The 2014 Proposed Operating Budget has a 2.4% increase. This would increase Orono's contract price by $5,967 (1.73% increase over 2013). Chief Van Eyll will try to cut expenditures and present an amended budget by August 15th. Specifically, the Chief was asked to identify the savings from the sales tax exemption and to reexamine expenditures for out-of-state conferences. o The 2014 allocations show a slight increase in Orono's share from 82.73% up to 82.90%. o The LLFD Memorial 5K run raised $4,000-5,000. • Please find attached the CSAH 112 Project Advisory Committee Meeting Record for the meeting held July 18, 2013. � The no parking signs went up on Bayview Place earlier this week along with additional barriers to prevent parking. I received one phone call so far who questioned why this decision was made and why no notification was given to the surrounding neighborhood. This person wanted me to let the City Council know he is not in favor of the decision made and would request the Council reconsider their decision. • The contractor for Willow Drive will continue to finalize grading in the ditches and to place seed in these areas. There is a small delay caused because Xcel Energy has a power line too close to the surface in a portion of the ditch area. The contractor will have to wait until Xcel Energy is able to lower or replace this line. This should not cause significant delays in the placement of the final wear course. Attached is the weekty update. • Attached is a flyer for the Memorial Blood Drive, where the Police & Fire Departments will team up to give blood on Monday, August 19th from 2:00—6:00 pm at the Long Lake Fire Station. • 87 total citations were issued in the Police Department for the week of July 22 —July 28.
