MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,November 9,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> have won. Then we can all live with that,but no one should be afraid of counting the votes. He stated no <br /> one should declare early until all the votes are counted,and let the process work,because it will work. It <br /> may just look ugly but there is a process for a reason,because this is not a banana republic—and we will <br /> not let ourselves become a banana republic. <br /> Crosby stated no matter what happens in this election,whether people agree with the outcome or disagree, <br /> everyone can hopefully agree to be peaceful and respectful to each other and come together as one nation <br /> of people. Everyone must understand that both candidates that ran for office. He said"most of us do not <br /> know them and they do not know us," so to divide each other over a Presidential election is not a good <br /> idea. He asked everyone to be kind to each other and agrees with Walsh,the Declaration of Independence <br /> and Constitution must be followed; we must have free elections,transparent elections,and we will let this <br /> play out. <br /> Walsh noted it will take weeks and remembered back to Georg Bush and Al Gore, it took 36 days. <br /> Crosby would not be surprised if it takes a couple of months. <br /> Walsh said they will let it play out,watch it and learn from it. This will be a case study of how the <br /> Constitution works and how it works well. If there are strands of hair that put chinks in the armor,the <br /> Country will figure out what that is,also. <br /> Printup said it is a beautiful document. <br /> CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br /> Rief noted there was an incident in the upgrade process today and the glass was shattered. He noted the <br /> cardboard is not the upgrade;they were doing an upgrade to the locks and perhaps there was a slip which <br /> nicked the glass and it spider-webbed. Rief noted they will be closed on Wednesday,November 11,2020 <br /> for Veterans Day and reminded everyone that on Friday at 9:00 a.m.they have a Council Meeting for <br /> canvassing of the ballots. He noted they only need three Councilmembers to make a quorum and they can <br /> do it via Zoom. <br /> 23. Health Insurance Approval <br /> 24. Long Lake Fire SCBA Capital Purchase <br /> 25.
