MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 28, 2020 6:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 of 9 Printup said they received positive feedback regarding the Salvation Army at City Hall next month on October 17, 2020 from 8:00 a.m. – Noon for the City’s Fall Clean-up, and the bike people would be there receiving donated bikes. He noted the City is getting things done for the people. Seals reported they decided to go ahead with the Christmas Tree Lighting because by the time December hits, she thinks people will feel pretty cooped up and may want to be outside. She said they will try to keep as many people outside of the clubhouse and will be proposing doing the Tree Lighting and Sliding, multiple fires so they can have North Mallow (a gourmet s’more bar who will be sponsoring the event) there and try to get donations from other companies to have hot dogs and brats. She will find out if the Boy Scouts are willing to help create a cool Christmas village, hoping to have reindeer, and she’s trying to find a sponsor for winter fireworks. They’re trying to keep costs in check so are looking for sponsors to help. Mayor Walsh noted everyone should watch the Presidential Debates, and he is surprised it’s the end of September already. He said they had a bunch of great emails from Orono citizens regarding the Blue Line Flag, thanking the Council for doing that and noted Crosby even called many of the citizens to talk to them. CLOSED SESSION Printup moved, Seals seconded, to close the Orono City Council meeting and go into a Closed Session at 7:11 p.m. as permitted by §13D.03 to discuss the City’s labor negotiation strategy related to the City’s negotiations with Local No. 12 Union. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. ATTEST: _____________________________________ _______________________________________ Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor
