MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 25, 2022 6:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 2 of 8 Ms. Oakden replied the final plat has been withdrawn. She noted the vacation was a separate action from the platting of the properties; therefore that plat is no longer in the process as it has been withdrawn by the Applicant. She clarified that the plat was a separate application not associated with the vacation. Ms. Schmidt asked if the Watershed District has commented on this. Ms. Oakden can go back to confirm but believes everyone was notified properly through the process when the vacation application was under review. Ms. Schmidt asked what City fund the $100,000 is being deposited into as it said “public improvements” and whether that is street, landscaping, etcetera. Finance Director Olson replied the $100,000 was deposited into the Park Fund for improvements in parks. Ms. Schmidt asked if they know the total area that was to be sold to Mr. Erickson in the vacated lakeshore and cul-de-sac variance he received. Ms. Oakden does not have the exact measurements in front of her noting the resolution was to approve the vacation with those conditions which have been met. She is happy to follow up with the vacation report. Ms. Schmidt is trying to understand why there is a resolution for a resolution and noted that is confusing. Ms. Oakden shared it was requested by the Applicant that the resolution be proposed to the City Council to confirm because there were so many conditions associated with the vacation. Ms. Schmidt asked if that is normal. Attorney Mattick replied it is not uncommon with something that has this many conditions, especially when real estate is involved as the County takes care of the vacation. The City vacates the property, sends it to the County, and the County works with the Applicant. Crosby moved, Printup seconded, to adopt Resolution 7277 confirming all required conditions of Resolution 7211 have been met. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT 7. FIRE DEPARTMENT EQUIPMENT PROCUREMENT – CMD 1 AND CMD 2 (22-047) Deputy Chief Ryan Gonsior asked if any Council Members have questions about the item this evening. Mayor Walsh noted this is the purchase of two Chevrolet Tahoes. The motion tonight is to purchase the vehicles, they would be in the City of Orono’s name, the City would be loaning the vehicles to Long Lake Fire, and Long Lake accepts that they have no claim on these vehicles. These would be the conditions.
