MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, May 23, 2022 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 5 of 8 <br /> <br />accessory to the crimes of this man against a long-time resident, against a disabled veteran, and against <br />someone who owns a business in this community? <br /> <br />Mayor Walsh noted the three minute public comment time is up. <br /> <br />Mr. Nygard said Mayor Walsh has let people go longer at a previous meeting and is the Mayor going to <br />stop him? <br /> <br />Mayor Walsh asked Mr. Nygard to have a seat and asked for the podium microphone to be shut down <br />until Mr. Nygard sits down. He asked if anyone else would like to speak during public comment time. <br /> <br />FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT <br />Finance Director Olson had nothing to report. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT <br />Ms. Curtis had nothing to report. <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY REPORT <br />Attorney Mattick had nothing to report. <br /> <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ENGINEER REPORT <br /> <br />11. RESPONSE TO LONG LAKE CITY COUNCIL LETTER ON THE LONG LAKE FIRE <br />DEPARTMENT <br />Mayor Walsh noted there is a letter response that was formed by himself and Edwards over the weekend. <br />The majority of those answers the City has already given to the City of Long Lake many times over the <br />years. The letter spells out how long they have been discussing this and all of the information Long Lake <br />already has about the appraisal, the pricing of the equipment, and engines that was agreed to one year ago. <br />The only thing Orono cannot get from Long Lake is an answer on what they want to do. Mayor Walsh <br />does not think there was anything in the questions that Long Lake did not have answers for so it was easy <br />for Mayor Walsh and Edwards to sit down and craft a letter with the answers they have already given and <br />note nothing had really changed. <br /> <br />Seals has seen the answers to these questions in multiple formats and asked Edwards if she missed <br />something regarding an appraisal as that was one of the items. <br /> <br />Edwards replied Orono did the original appraisal and the idea was that both cities would get an appraisal <br />on the building, they would compare, and if the cities could not come to an agreement from those two <br />appraisals they would seek a third tie-breaker. He noted Orono has presented the appraisal to Long Lake <br />but Orono has not received one in return. <br /> <br />Seals spoke about the pension and noted the Long Lake letter is a public letter and was also sent to the <br />firemen. She stated the firemen she spoke with were actually very upset regarding about Long Lake’s <br />response in basically trying to sell an asset they do not have. Seals wonders how they can be that far off in <br />thinking they can sell that. <br />
