MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,May 24,2021 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> 14. LA21-000040 TEXT AMENDMENT RELATED TO DOCK LICENSES AND BIG ISLAND— <br /> Continued <br /> Walsh noted this is feedback so there is not a public hearing;The Council did receive Judson's <br /> dissertation and appreciates that, and the Attorney has all that information. <br /> In other matters, Barnhart is working through a number of Code enforcement issues. The Council will see <br /> several final plats soon for Orono Crossing,Orchard Creek, and 2060 Wayzata Blvd. They received the <br /> first invoice from MnSpect. <br /> Seals asked if there was any resolution regarding the resident complaint about short-term rentals on the <br /> Big Island property advertised on VRBO. <br /> Barnhart did see that and sent a letter of the rules and requirements. He saw on the listing the minimum <br /> term was 30 days which is allowable by Code. <br /> Seals thinks they had a work around,she noted a resident sent her a screenshot of the listing and that they <br /> are doing short-term rentals,so she sent it to Barnhart. The resident said it was shorter than 30 days but <br /> the City needs to have proof. She saw another listing in Orono on Casco. <br /> Barnhart said the City reacted to that one, also. That is a unique one because the owner lives in the home <br /> and is renting two bedrooms so they fall under the clause. That owner came in to get a rental license and <br /> met all the requirements. <br /> CITY ATTORNEY REPORT <br /> None. <br /> CITY ADMINISTRATOR/CITY ENGINEER REPORT <br /> 15. PROVISION OF PUBLIC WORKS SERVICE TO THE CITY OF SPRING PARK BY THE <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> Edwards updated the Council, asked for guidance,and to ask approval to move forward. The City has <br /> gone back and forth with Spring Park over the years; Spring Park first reached out in December 2019 to <br /> explore the possibility of Orono providing Public Works service. In Spring/Summer 2020 it was brought <br /> to the Council in a work session and they have since worked with Spring Park on different versions. At <br /> one point Spring Park voted 3-2 to reject Orono's offer but at the most recent Council meeting they voted <br /> 3-2 to accept the offer with some provisions.Two things the Spring Park City Administrator relayed were <br /> 1)a provision to provide the Spring Park logo on the vehicles the City uses to provide support and 2) <br /> provision allowing for review of the cost after one year. Edwards said the second may be possible but his <br /> concerns are, if and when the City enters in to this contract, it should be a longer-term contract and Orono <br /> will have to hire at least one full-time maintenance worker—they do not want a contract ended shortly <br /> after they hire. <br /> Walsh asked what Spring Park has proposed for a term. <br /> Edwards replied they have not but he mentioned in previous negotiations he would be looking at a 5 year <br /> term, or perhaps 3-5 years. They could do some kind of audit or provision at the end of the first year to <br /> Page 5 of 7 <br />
