MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday, March 30,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Johnson had a question regarding the attendees appearing remotely, specifically noting a triangle with an <br /> exclamation point on-screen, and asked if that was something to take notice of. <br /> Barnhart explained that meant their web viewer was in the background and they have other documents in <br /> front of that. <br /> Johnson asked if the attendees appearing remotely could be called upon to wave their hands electronically <br /> as a test run. Mason Balster and John Dosch did so; pleasantries were exchanged after they were called <br /> upon. <br /> Printup noted he did not see hand-raising, so the Council members and Staff discussed the procedure of <br /> making that option available. <br /> Printup thanked City Staff for keeping the City running. He also thanked the officers and staff in the jails <br /> and prisons. He asked everyone to do their part on the outside to help avoid it coming inside of those <br /> facilities. He said his heart goes out to those unable to work. <br /> Crosby also thanked the first responders, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, nurses, and the people <br /> working in the grocery stores. <br /> Walsh echoed other Council members' sentiments and said Orono is open for business and the Police and <br /> Fire Departments are fully functioning. The roadwork is getting done as scheduled and they will get more <br /> bids for new roads for the next year(s). The next newsletter will be out soon. He reminded everyone this <br /> is a strong community, and that this is the time to help out friends,family, small businesses, and <br /> nonprofits. He noted his wife likes the 20/20 tipping motto: 20% and$20. He noted City Administrator <br /> Rief and his family are sick and wished them all well. <br /> Johnson said the City has done a really good job of making public spaces available whenever they can, <br /> and they've been pretty liberal over the years about letting people use the golf course, even before and <br /> after the open season, for walking around, etc. The City will continue to do that even if the environment <br /> does not allow for it at this time. The golf course is currently barricaded because people were doing <br /> damage to tee boxes and greens because of the soft ground. <br /> Rief left the meeting. <br /> CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br /> None <br /> CITY ATTORNEY REPORT <br /> None <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Printup moved, Crosby seconded, to adjourn the Orono City Council meeting at 6:21 p.m.VOTE: <br /> Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> Page 3 of 4 <br />
