MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 26, 2020 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 10 of 10 <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY REPORT <br /> <br />Attorney Mattick had nothing to report. <br /> <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ENGINEER REPORT <br /> <br />Edwards updated the Council saying the Walters Port water main replacement project is underway. There <br />are a number of bacteria tests to do this week and real construction replacement starts the following week. <br />Regarding the Tonka force main project, the contractor will begin laying out a bypass system to carry the <br />waste while they are doing the work, as well as digging the pits and the pipe bursting project of the <br />existing pipe will be the following week. Edwards said the 2021 streets project contractor is due to come <br />begin the mill and overlay portions for the project in the Navarre batch of roads this year. Regarding the <br />Dakota Trail connection, Three Rivers Park District has a lead on that and there is a pre-construction <br />conference this week to see if they can get a timeline. It was awarded by Three Rivers for construction <br />this summer. Edwards said the Diamond Lake Regional Trail Master Plan met a lot of resistance in the <br />City of Medina, so in layman’s terms the plan is to now go around Medina. In Orono, the tentative layout <br />now has them using the existing trail as part of the 112 project; coming out of Wayzata to the Luce Line <br />to Long Lake, Orono, and the 112 trail to the Independence trail. He reported the Spring Clean-up had <br />over 300 visitors, 50+ tires, 40 cubic yards of electronic waste, and the Salvation Army filled a truck and <br />a half with donations. The bike donation group collected 129 bicycles and the Police Department ran their <br />drug takeback program and collected 160 pounds of expired prescription drugs. It was a very successful <br />event despite the weather. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />15. THE MEETING WILL BE CLOSED AS PERMITTED BY THE ATTORNEY-CLIENT <br />PRIVILEGE (SECTION 13D.05, SUBDIVISION 3(B)) TO DISCUSS THE TWO LAWSUITS. 1) <br />BURWELL VS. CITY OF ORONO AND 2) NYGARD VS.
