MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, August 8, 2022 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 5 of 5 <br /> <br />Ben Goodwin, 560 Kokesh Farms Road, wants to say to the entire five member City Council and Staff <br />that he thinks they are doing a great job, it is a thankless job, and he has never seen this town in better <br />condition in all his years living in Long Lake and Orono. The budget they looked at and the strength of <br />the City’s finances look incredibly strong due in part to the Council’s work. Regarding the parks, they are <br />in immaculate shape and what the City did with Big Island is a fantastic thing that goes unnoticed by most <br />people but is a wonderful amenity that has been brought to a new height of use whereas before it was <br />basically a garbage dump. He thanked the City Council and said it is unfortunate that they have to come <br />to work their second job and be harassed, which is what this is: harassment. Mr. Goodwin stated a <br />majority of the residents disagree with that and they like how their City is run. What he tells people when <br />they comment is that if they don’t like it, they can run and perhaps they will get elected, although his <br />guess is that they won’t. He reiterated that the City is doing a great job, stick to their guns, and he is <br />pleased with everything. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Johnson moved, Seals seconded, to adjourn the meeting at 6:35 p.m. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ _______________________________________ <br />Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor
