VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Jabbour said the Council had been mislead to think they had anything to say about the closing of Townline Road. He said it became apparent during a recent meeting with the other cities and Mn/DOT that Orono’s suggestions would not be considered by Mn/DOT. Jabbour said he asked Tom 0*Keefe if he would advocate Orono’s position and O’Keefe said he would not. Mn/DOT is going to close the road. He said the only way to keep Townline Road open is to petition for County Road 19 to move to Townline Road. Jabbour said he would still like to have a joint meeting with Independence and asked Moorse to contact them. If Independence does not want to meet, staff should send a letter to the residents of Orono and Independence telling them what happened. Orono has three options; 1) petition to move County Road 19 to Townline Road, 2) cul-de-sac the road on Orono’s side, or 3) close it. Jabbour said that the City Administrator has given the Fairview Covenant Church until tomorrow to come up with a signed purchase agreement. The City Administrator is planning to start the 90 day quick-take process on Wednesday morning if the signed purchase agreement is not received. The City will vacate the alley. At the Park tour, the Council decided that they are going to direct staff not to spend the money on trees at Seven Nations Park. Kelley moved, Sansevere seconded, a motion to reconsider spending money for trees at Seven Nations Park. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 1. (Flint objected) Page 21
