He said it was a fun day. <br /> Printup echoed Crosby's statements and said he enjoyed the presentations tonight. <br /> Seals said the Big Island property is now accessible to all beyond the dock,and it is really great to see the <br /> project finished. She has had a few resident questions regarding development,noting people say they <br /> cannot believe how much Orono has changed,the development,etc. Seals thinks this is very unfortunate <br /> as much of this"knowledge"is coming from social media; she reminded people that social media is not <br /> the source of truth. She asked to explain to the public that the City Council has been very consistent that <br /> they do not want mass development,but in reality,they must meet Met Council numbers and approve <br /> some development. <br /> Mayor Walsh said in talking about communications, it would be great to have questions and answers with <br /> links on the City's website,a video,or other information available.He thanked the Staff for the great <br /> work on the Big Island ceremony, it was nice to see some Vets get out there,and he thinks they will have <br /> a much busier year out there next year with all the information that has gone out.He noted there were a <br /> lot of other helpers and volunteers who worked on this project to get it completed.He stated Orono <br /> Homecoming is coming up and encouraged the public to come out and cheer on the team. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Crosby moved,Printup seconded,to adjourn the meeting at 6:54 p.m.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> ATTEST: <br /> D1 . \2022 <br /> / / <br /> nna Carlson,City Clerk Dennis Walsh,Mayor <br /> Page 5 of 5 <br />
