MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Thursday, August 13,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> the most sense for the City and he thinks everyone in Orono knows the Council is doing the right things <br /> for the residents and that is what the job is about. <br /> Walsh updated the Council, saying in his household they've been celebrating lots of birthdays and having <br /> lots of cake and his wife has been doing a 30-day challenge of cooking something new and different that <br /> she's never cooked before every day and posting it to Facebook. He said they've been eating very well at <br /> home and trying lots of new food. <br /> Seals said the food looks good and she's waiting for an invite. <br /> CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br /> Rief gave an overview, saying construction is occurring on Togo Road and they're working on utilities <br /> and most should be completed this week. Next week they'll move to soil replacement and get the road <br /> back to being drivable. He said they won't start the rest of the Navarre Projects until that road is back to <br /> having curb and gutter and that the road construction was needed. <br /> He noted East Long Lake Trail is underway, most of the asphalt has been removed and they are working <br /> on pilings for the Boardwalk next week and rain gardens. The Legacy Fund is doing fundraising for <br /> benches and other things to add to what has already been contributed. <br /> Rief said he and Mattick will meet with the Local Twelve next week to understand what they are <br /> proposing for their union contract. He noted the Council just approved Rockville Lake and noted <br /> regarding the Fair Labor Standards Act(FLSA)Audit,they are in the final stages of preparing the <br /> information to send back and they're doing calculations on back wages right now and it's roughly <br /> between$7,000 and$8,000 for two years. <br /> Rief said he received a resignation for one of the City's Officers earlier that day that will be brought at the <br /> next Council meeting, noting it's not something that anyone saw coming and he doesn't know if it's a <br /> result of the environment that officers are dealing as there is a lot of added stress right now. He noted that <br /> is not reflected here, as the Council supports the officers well and he thanked the Council. He said it <br /> could be a result of the feedback on social media and news media and it's taken a toll on the department. <br /> CITY ATTORNEY REPORT <br /> Mattick noted he had a conflict at the next meeting so he was sending a colleague in his place named <br /> Shana Conklin and she has been with them for about seven years and is lead attorney in a few other <br /> communities. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Crosby moved,Printup seconded, to adjourn the Orono City Council meeting at 6:44 p.m.VOTE: <br /> Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> ATTEST: <br /> Od30210/ <br /> / <br /> •nna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br /> Page 8 of 8 <br />
