MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, January 11, 2021 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 11 of 12 <br /> <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 /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
