Orono City Council <br />Work Session Minutes <br />Monday, November 8, 2021 <br />Council Chambers <br />5:30 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Mayor Dennis Walsh, Council Members Richard F. Crosby Il, and Matt Johnson. <br />Staff members present were City Administrator/Engineer Adam Edwards, Community <br />Development Director Jeremy Barnhart, Finance Director Ron Olson, Parks and Golf Courses <br />Superintendent Josh Lemons, Police Chief Coffey Farniok and City Clerk Anna Carlson. <br />1. Building Official/ Building Inspector Update <br />Community Development Director gave an update to the City Council regarding the <br />search process for the building inspector/building official positions. He asked to Council <br />for input regarding the next steps in the process. <br />Council Member Matt Johnson asked if MnSpect will still be providing any services to <br />the City if we hire a new official and inspector. <br />City Administrator Adam Edwards added that we would essentially bring forward for <br />approval to hire an inspector and official at a future meeting and also meet with MnSpect <br />to see what other services they could provide through the transition. <br />2. Annual Appointments Discussion <br />City Administrator Adam Edwards presented the item to the Council. He mentioned that <br />the City Council has not collectively reviewed the appointments in past years and that <br />staff would like input for next year's appointments. <br />Mayor Walsh noted the review committee should be kept however we could narrow <br />down the members until this committee opens up. We could remove the Highway 12 <br />Turn -back Committee since it is now irrelevant. <br />City Council Member Richard F. Crosby II noted he would like to be added to the <br />Highway 12 Safety Coalition Committee. <br />Adjourned: 5:40 p.m. <br />CITY OF ORONO: <br />ATTEST: <br />Anna Carlson, City Clerk <br />Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br />Page l of 1 <br />
