MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, June 22, 2015 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 15 of 19  <br />  <br />McMillan stated she was thinking of picking out a single snowflake and that they could perhaps mix and <br />match them. McMillan suggested doing five single ones at first, which are cheaper than some of the more <br />elaborate decorations. <br /> <br />Levang noted the LEDs are also more expensive. <br /> <br />Edwards indicated he will display five different snowflakes at the Safety Day event. <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT, CONTINUED <br /> <br />Edwards noted construction has begun on Stubbs Bay Road. There was a couple days delay due to <br />weather but work has now begun and is progressing nicely. <br /> <br />The Public Works Department is currently doing sewer cleaning in the Rest Point area. Edwards stated <br />there were some mix-ups on scheduling with the residents but that process has now been revised. <br />Edwards indicated they were perhaps a little overambitious on how much could be done in a single day <br />and that they have built in additional time in the event any issues arise. <br /> <br />Edwards noted every year the City does routine maintenance on all of the City’s lift stations and that work <br />is approximately half-way completed at this point with no major issues found at any of the lift stations. <br /> <br />Edwards reported the Public Works Department patched the culvert on Old Crystal Bay and that they will <br />be doing a more permanent patch shortly. <br /> <br />Edwards stated STS has begun their work clearing brush and work has been performed in front of City <br />Hall and at Summit Beach and some of the other parks. Edwards stated the port-a-potty at Summit Beach <br />will now be more visible in an effort to deter vandalism. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the City continues the process of fixing the erosion that has been occurring on Orono <br />Orchard Road. McMillan noted this is the third time it has been redone and that some fabric has now <br />been placed down. <br /> <br />Edwards stated that was based on Council action that was taken last year. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the City is paying for that. <br /> <br />Edwards stated the City is. <br /> <br />McMillan stated there appears to be a design flaw in that area from the beginning and that she is hopeful <br />the grass becomes better established. <br /> <br />Edwards stated it was supposed to be completed last fall, but due to weather, it was deferred until the <br />spring. <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Walsh noted there is a fire department meeting on Wednesday of this week. <br />
