MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,January 11,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> continue now that he has learned all this stuff. The older Commissioners would like to get some of the <br /> younger guys some more experience in running meetings and learning the language. <br /> Johnson asked regarding a gravel spot across from the post office,is that a trail head. <br /> Walsh said that is just people running over it and making it a place to park. <br /> Johnson wondered if Three Rivers would pay to pave that section. <br /> Printup stated years ago they talked about it,and he did not like the idea at the time because then it becomes <br /> a trail head or destination. <br /> Johnson said it already seems to be. <br /> Printup told the Council years ago the thought was to lay down boulders and plant there, but then people <br /> just park along the road, as they still do now. He said back then the Navarre municipal parking lot was <br /> looked at for an actual trailhead,but there is not a sidewalk. <br /> Walsh said the sidewalk should be coming in 2021 or 2022. He noted it is hard to police it because the <br /> people are not at their cars. <br /> Printup said it is County. <br /> Walsh just wanted to bring it up so everyone can think about it and perhaps come up with some ideas, as <br /> he said it is known,it is a trailhead whether they want it to be or not. <br /> Crosby said getting cars away from the road is important. <br /> Walsh agreed and noted the problem is that Crystal Bay does not want the City to start eating into the land <br /> in their open area for cars. <br /> Printup stated in the past there was a discussion regarding parking stickers;for example,Wayzata residents <br /> have parking stickers and if someone outside the City wants a sticker,they pay a fee. This could go for any <br /> type of parking in the City,on or off street. <br /> Walsh said the post office people are yelling at the police and the police tell them to talk to the City Council. <br /> Printup also had a story from years ago;the sidewalk in front of the door was smaller, he thinks the same <br /> person was saying the sidewalk needs to be bigger because of plowing. Then the same person said they <br /> need different striping in the parking lot so people know how to park. He said they need to be careful when <br /> people have concerns and have a"great idea,"sometimes they get what they wish for and they do not like <br /> it. <br /> Page 11 of 12 <br />
