- # <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 22,2003 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />(MAYOR/CITY COUNCIL REPORT, CoDHaiied) <br />playing football this afternoon and making the lot any smaller would be a dangerous <br />proposition. <br />Murphy asked that copies of the letters sent out to the candidates for City Council be given <br />to the current Council members. He suggested that City Hall staff consider adding a full <br />time ’mouser’, or cat, to City personnel in an attempt to rid the City Hall of its pest <br />problem. <br />Sansevere indicated that he had ftt>m 1*7 kittens he would donate to the cause. <br />Sansevere suggested the City begin advertising for an LMCD Representative since there <br />will be an opening once McMillan is sworn in as a Council member. <br />Murphy added that advertising for 1-2 more Planning Commissioners and alternates would <br />also be advised, since the City will be losing 2 members after the first of the year. <br />Sansevere suggested that letters regarding these positions be sent to the individuals who <br />had expressed an interest in the City Council seat. <br />PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR’S REPORT <br />17. WATERTOWN ROAD HOUSE MOVING <br />Gappa explained that the City had received a request from Mr. Butterfield to move a house <br />from Old Crystal Bay RoadTH 12 area to the Butterfield property located at 3725 <br />Watertown Road. As this house was originally purchased by Mn/DOT for the TH12 <br />project, it has since been sold to the Butterfield’s, llie house moving route will include Old <br />Crystal Bay and Watertown Roads. While most of the tree trimming appears to be of trees <br />within the City right-of-way, the owner has obtained signed permission slips for tree <br />trimming from the nine residents along Watertown Road where it will be required. Since <br />letters have gone out notifying neighbors of the impending move, only one call has been <br />received by a property owner just east of Stubbs Bay Road concerning tree trinuning, <br />which has since been addressed. Gappa stated that he was comfortable with Don Scanlon, <br />of Wayzata, performing the tree trimming. <br />Public Comment: <br />Mr. Robertson, of 3535 and 3565 Watertown Road, stated that while he would not be <br />impacted by the tree trimming itself, he urged the City to keep the trimming to a minimum <br />since it is the treed canopy over Watertown Road which gives it its rural charm. <br />Page 8 of 16 <br />i
