MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, January 26,2004 7:00 o’clock p.m. CITY ATTORNEY ’S REPORT Attorney Barrett had nothing new to report Moorse had two updates to report to the Council. While one of the seats would be up for reappointment, Moorse stated that the MCWD had 2 openings coming up and encouraged the Council to recoiTunend anyone else they could refer to these positions. Sansevere suggested Purk Conunissioners be queried to see if any interest exists among the members to join the MCWD. He believed McDermott would make an excellent candidate for the MCWD, as his background and knowledge would be a perfect fit. Moorse also reported that, while a 3.2 beer license had been approved for Navarre Lanes contingent upon a background check, some concerns have surfaced and need to be addressed before the City Council considers the new application for a full on sale liquor license. Based on what the police department will recommend with regard to the background check. Moorse suggested that the Council discuss the topic further in the upcoming work session. Sansevere stated that he felt it would be premature to plan to hold a Public Hearing at the next City Council meeting without devoting adequate time to discussing the background check. Sansevere suggested the Public Hearing be moved untii the 2"' meeting in February, in order to examine the information further before moving forward with a public meeting. Attorney Barrett stated that the Council must make reasonable progress on the application; however, would not be out of line postponing the Public Hearing two weeks to allow for adequate review. In addition, McMillan stated that she would be reluctant to approve a full liquor license before the improvements have been made. Attorney Barrett suggested the Council take time to e.xamine the background information and make a recommendation on the whole application, including improvements at a later date. *16.
