MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 9, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 12 of 15 <br /> <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 /> <br />Walsh replied it is because they are considerate Councilmembers. <br /> <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 /> <br />Walsh noted they spoke about that in the past and that is the reason… <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson said a short-term rental 1,000 feet from a rental… <br /> <br />Walsh replied they were not contemplating 1,000 feet, they were contemplating any feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson noted it says 1,000 feet. <br /> <br />Walsh noted that is just showing what was back in 2012. <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson said he would see them at the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Walsh stated he does not think there is anything going to the Planning Commission right now. <br /> <br />Barnhart asked if there is any recommendation to make any changes. <br /> <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 /> <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 /> <br />22. AUTHORIZE FOR ADVERTISEMENT, RFP FOR BUILDING SERVICES <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <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 /> <br />Johnson noted this is the same carrier. <br /> <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
