MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 25, 2021 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />PRESENTATION – Continued <br /> <br />of Orono: citizens pay their taxes. He highlighted the Golf Course which is already at 190% of revenue. <br />Building permit revenues are at about 24% of where they were the previous year; this revenue source <br />fluctuates because it is hard to predict building activity. Mr. Olson noted expenditures are at 76%, noting <br />engineering is over budget due to the Big Island survey for dock locations, and another survey of Summit <br />Park. The Golf Course is over budget in expenditures, but Mr. Olson reminded the City Council that their <br />revenues are about $70,000 over expenditure. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />9.
