MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday, September 14,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Crosby said he thinks it is a beautiful proclamation and he has friends who lost a baby on 9/11/2001 and <br /> were devastated. It is something they never forget and he is sure they pray every day. Crosby said he <br /> commends Mayor Walsh for bringing this up—it is awesome. <br /> Crosby moved,Johnson seconded,to accept the proclamation.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> Seals noted there is a resident in Orono who is world-renowned on this topic,named Sherokee Ilse who <br /> lived here for a very long time and recently moved away. She was an expert and actually spoke and <br /> counseled around the world regarding this topic. <br /> Walsh noted this brings the Council to No. 6,the Annual Sportsmen Gun Club Limited Use Permit, <br /> which was taken off the Consent Agenda. <br /> Printup noted he is okay with it and just has a question regarding the permit. He said it is an annual <br /> permit and asked if they could potentially make it a five-year permit. <br /> Rief replied it is written in the code as an annual permit but they can modify the code to adjust for that. <br /> Crosby said he'd be comfortable with that. <br /> Johnson said one of the functions is the police department needs to do a background check to approve it, <br /> so perhaps that is the trigger that holds it up. <br /> Rief said he will bring it up to Orono Police Chief Correy Farniok. <br /> Seals said one year seems a little short. <br /> Walsh noted it has been around forever and they're seeing it annually. <br /> Rief stated the reason it is late is because of the person who submitted the application is new, so they are <br /> going through the process for the first time. <br /> Walsh said the Council can pass it for the year so it's done and then bring it back,change the code if <br /> allowable, and amend it. He'd like to get it renewed in the meantime so the Club isn't held up. <br /> Printup moved,Johnson seconded,to approve the Annual Sportsmen Gun Club Limited Use <br /> Permit.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT <br /> 14.
