ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR APRIL 12,1999 <br />(#19) UPDATE OF NEW AREA CODE OPTIONS <br />Moorse said he is looking for direction from the Council regarding the new area code <br />options. The Suburban Rate Authority is proposing to split the western suburban area into <br />two area codes along I-394/Hwy. 12. If the split were to strictly follow I-394/Hwy. 12, it <br />would divide Orono, Long Lake and several other cities. He said the Council may want to <br />indicate general support for the north/south split of the western suburban area, but indicate <br />that the split must occur along City boundaries. <br />Jabbour said he feels the split should occur along the City boundaries. <br />Flint and Sansevere concurred. <br />(#20) SCHEDULING INFORMATIONAL OPEN HOUSES REGARDING <br />COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br />Moorse said that at its April 8,1999 work session, the City Council discussed scheduling two <br />informational open houses regarding the update of the City’s Comprehensive Plan. These <br />open houses are to be scheduled in early to mid-May, with one to be held at the Gray <br />Freshwater Center. Staff is recommending that the first open house be held at the Orono High <br />School Cafeteria to ensure sufficient space to accommodate what could potentially be a large <br />turnout. <br />Flint said he is not avails’ le on Tuesday evenings. <br />Sansevere said he is not available on Thursday evenings. <br />Jabbour suggested Thursday, May 6 and Thursday, May 20. <br />(*#21) RESIGNATION OF ELIZABETH VAN ZOMEREN, PLANNER/ZONING <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Flint moved, Kelley seconded, a motion to accept the resignation of Elizabeth Van <br />Zomeren effective April 9,1999. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />(#22) MINNESOTA RULES AMENDMENTS RELATED TO SEPTIC SYSTEMS <br />(JANUARY 1996 TO MARCH 1999) <br />Steve Weckman prepared a memo to the Council regarding Minnesota Rule Amendments <br />Related to Septic Systems. In his memo, Weckman said the Ororo Municipal Code must be <br />revised to reflect the changes to the Minnesota Rules Chapter 7080. He will be preparing <br />revisions to Section 12.30 of the Orono Municipal Code during the next month. <br />Flint said he talked to Weckman and the reason the Code has not been changed is because the <br />rules have continually changed. <br />Page 3 1
