Donations were made to WeCan, the Mound Food Center, and the Gillipsie <br />Center. Levang thanked the volunteers for their help. <br />Printup noted Corn Days was this past weekend and that Orono's Hennepin County Commissioner was <br />the grand marshal of the parade. <br />Printup noted he is starting to get comfortable with going paperless and that he has been using his tablet <br />the past few meetings. Printup stated he still has his paper backup but that he hopefully will be able to go <br />away from that in the near future. <br />Printup stated one matter the City Council may want to discuss at some point in the future is sign postings <br />for developments. Printup noted the City Council has talked about it once in a while whenever there is an <br />issue in the neighborhood and that perhaps the City Council can explore requiring two signs be erected. <br />Printup stated another issue that has come up periodically is the notice radius and that the City Council <br />should perhaps think about whether that should be expanded. <br />Printup suggested the City Council at a future work session also discuss ceiling height and pad and grade <br />so he can learn more about that. Printup stated sometimes when Council and Staff are talking about <br />height issues, it can be difficult to follow. <br />Page 30 of 32 <br />
