MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: ORONO MANAGEMENTTEAM SUBJECT: INFORMATION UPDATE DATE: SEPTEMBER 27, 2013 Information Update—09/27/13 • We have received word that Luke Kujawa of Your Boat Club has completed purchase of the marina and now owns the commercial property as well as the two residential sites. The review period for his CUP application for additional slips has been extended at his request, and we would expect a proposal for permanent underground fuel storage and dispensing system will be his next step. • In response to a violation notice sent to a property owner on Baldur Park Road regarding illegal docks, we have received a letter appealing the violation. This appeal will be placed on the City Council agenda for review at the October 14 meeting. See attached violation notice and appeal letter. • Crews finished removing all the park equipment and pea rock at Bederwood Park. Installation of the new equipment is scheduled to begin next week. Once the equipment has been installed, Public Works will install the wood chips in the area to complete the project. • Public Works continue to work on cleaning sanitary sewer lines in the Navarre Area. Public Works began an annual cleaning program where approximately 1/5 of the City's sanitary sewer lines are cleaned each year. This means about 60,000 feet (11.4 miles) of sanitary sewer lines need to be cleaned each year. To date, we are approximately 2/3 complete for our yearly goal. We hope to finish the project over the next 2-3 weeks. • Archery season started on Saturday, September 14th. To-date, staff has processed 73 permits and additional permits are coming in daily. • The Orono Reflections Newsletter was sent out this week and should be in the hands of our residents by October 15t or shortly thereafter. • The Orono Police Department defeated the Long Lake Fire Department at the annual softball tournament this past Thursday night for the third year in a row!
