MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, June 28, 2020 6:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 6 of 6 CITY ATTORNEY REPORT – Continued Johnson asked to receive an update before the July 12, 2021 Council meeting. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORTS Seals noted they had the opening of Pfeffer Meats. She noted her husband was called to a fire while they were at the meat market and she was left without a ride so the police brought her home; she said the ride- along was great. Seals said the police department has a hard gig, they are good men and women, and the perception is that they are pulling people over left and right and that is not true. She noted they tried and tried but the citizens were too law-abiding to pull over. Printup had nothing to report. Johnson reported that he went with Richie Anderson to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) budget meeting the previous Thursday. It has been a slow-moving ship and Mr. Anderson is making tremendous progress there. He noted it was just the two of them and the representative from Tonka Bay - he stated now someone is paying attention so taxpayer dollars are going to a public good and there is benefit to it and they will have $11,000 more in the budget thanks to Mr. Anderson. The big thing is the water patrol with the officers that the donations came in for. Now, regardless of issues of civil unrest or other Sherriff related activities, they will stay on patrol. He noted it used to be an all-call and Lake Minnetonka would be unprotected, but this puts some resources on the lake. Mayor Walsh asked the community to support neighborhood businesses, as well as the new meat store. ADJOURNMENT Printup moved, Seals seconded, to adjourn the meeting at 7:15 p.m. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
