r <br />p>- <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 25,2004 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />*14. RECOGNITION OF MAGGIE KNUTSON’S MILKEN NATIONAL EDUCATOR <br />AWARD - RESOLUTION NO. 5242 <br />Council members suggested that Knutson be invited to a Council meeting to receive her Resolution <br />for recognition in person, or she be presented the resolution during a school board meeting, or in <br />her classroom during school. <br />White moved, Murphy seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 5242, a Resolution <br />recognizing Maggie Knutson for earning the .Milken National Educator Award. VOTE: Ayes <br />5, Nays 0. <br />Murphy asked for a status report on the Long Lake golf green case. <br />Moorse stated that a tree plan was presented to Mr. DeMuth, a Long Lake subdivision property <br />owner who removed most the trees and vegetation from his property, and he believed they were <br />close to resolving the issues. <br />Murphy suggested the City keep the Orono Oaks neighborhood in the loop, since neighbors were <br />being called by DeMuth's insurance company and estimating the costs at $2,000 worth of <br />plantings. He believed it important to get the neighborhood to sign off on the proposal, since they <br />would prefer plantings as opposed to a check. <br />Barrett stated that it seems consistent for the city to head down this path of action. <br />Moorse pointed out that the City is not re.sponsiblc to maintain that area and does not want a check <br />or to be involved in the process, but would like to see an agreement in writing between the parties. <br />PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR’S REPORT <br />1 5. STONEBAY DEVELOPMENT - STORMWATER TRUNK FEE <br />REIMBURSEMENT <br />Gappa explained that a trunk fee reimbursement of SI 48,109 for the regional pond excess <br />construction costs was previously approved. Since that time the developer has submitted <br />information on the costs for the installation of the new regional pond outlet pipe under <br />Highway 12. After reviewing these costs, Gappa stated that stafT recommends a stonnw ater <br />trunk fee credit in the amount of $39,919 for the outlet pipe. He indicated that these two <br />fee reimbursements satisfy all of the requirements of the developer’s agreement for <br />stomtwater trunk fee credits. <br />While they appreciated the reimbursement, Steve Johnston, Dahlstrom Development <br />representative, stated that they disagree with the definition of reimbursement, as a credit <br />against future trunk fees and not true reimbursement. <br />Barrett stated that he would like to look into the agreement furtlier before rendering an <br />opinion. <br />PAGE 8 of 10 <br />BfiUtttyHi
