MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,November 9,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Mr.Anderson said how can these people even comply with the regulations as they do not even have to <br /> entertain the gymnastics that was done in 2012. <br /> Walsh replied it is because they are considerate Councilmembers. <br /> Mr. Anderson said there are five marinas in this town and the reason he complained last time is because <br /> the issue came up about being able to rent dock slips. He said he did not have a pot to piss in in 2012 so <br /> he was vehemently against that. He noted this will not affect him one way, shape, or another, except that <br /> he does not want a neighbor renting to someone 1,000 feet away who could be a short-term rental guy, <br /> and they do not know who he is,but perhaps they have a pedophile coming down on the street. <br /> Walsh noted they spoke about that in the past and that is the reason... <br /> Mr. Anderson said a short-term rental 1,000 feet from a rental... <br /> Walsh replied they were not contemplating 1,000 feet,they were contemplating any feet. <br /> Mr.Anderson noted it says 1,000 feet. <br /> Walsh noted that is just showing what was back in 2012. <br /> Mr. Anderson said he would see them at the Planning Commission. <br /> Walsh stated he does not think there is anything going to the Planning Commission right now. <br /> Barnhart asked if there is any recommendation to make any changes. <br /> Walsh replied they had a good conversation about the issues and there are ways of complying, but they <br /> need to get in touch with Barnhart to find out what those ways are,to keep from being in any legal <br /> jeopardy moving forward. <br /> Printup said perhaps they can send out the minutes from tonight's meeting so the Councilmembers can <br /> see what is being talked about. <br /> 22. AUTHORIZE FOR ADVERTISEMENT,RFP FOR BUILDING SERVICES <br /> MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> Seals said her note to Staff is that Council has asked Staff to look at health insurance since she has started <br /> here(4 years). She asks that next time Council gives a recommendation,rather than waiting 4 years <br /> because the City and Staff took increases every year that probably did not need to happen. She is happy. <br /> Johnson noted this is the same carrier. <br /> Seals replied yes, and she remembers the conversations that the Council was so afraid...she feels like they <br /> get pushed back on so many of these things where they ask Staff just to"look"at it,and yet again,this is <br /> one that proved going out to the free market and not being set in their ways actually benefitted the City <br /> and benefitted all of"you guys." She noted Staff only hurt themselves if she is being quite honest;had <br /> Page 12 of 15 <br />
