MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> July 10,2023 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> But the minute they expand,particularly over this 75-foot setback,then it is walking into an area where <br /> there isn't a lot of support from this Council or past Councils on that issue.He said if the Council denied <br /> the application the applicant would have to start over,but if the Council tabled the item it would allow <br /> them to work with staff and their builder on another proposal. <br /> Nye said staff would grant an extension of the application if it is needed. <br /> Crosby moved,Johnson seconded,to table LA22-000064,4448 North Shore Drive,Variances <br /> VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. <br /> FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT <br /> Finance Director Olson gave a presentation on the previous month's building revenue,noting the City is <br /> almost even with this point last year for building permit revenue although June was down from the <br /> previous year.He said the City's golf course is doing incredibly well this year with revenues of more than <br /> $100,000 in June.Although the season started a little later,the golf course is$40,000 ahead of the same <br /> period last year and already has surpassed annual revenues from 2019.He said the Parks Director and <br /> Club House Manager have been doing an excellent job innovating with special programs such as youth <br /> activities and food trucks. <br /> CITY ATTORNEY REPORT <br /> 15. AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 7374 VIA RESOLUTION NO. 7384 <br /> Attorney Mattick reported that Paul Reuvers,the City's defense counsel in the breach of contract suit <br /> brought by the City of Long Lake,drafted a resolution clarifying the City's position and asked that it be <br /> brought before the City Council at this meeting. City staff has reviewed it and finds it to be reflective of <br /> their intention when preparing the report regarding fire service,he said. The Council has had a closed <br /> session on litigation strategy,but resolutions cannot be adopted in closed session, according to the <br /> attorney. The purpose of the resolution is to clarify the resolution and the generalized intent of the plan <br /> that was prepared by staff and adopted by City Council. <br /> Benson said she does not see the resolution as a clarification. It's a change in course,she said, because the <br /> first resolution,which she did not support,was talking about resuming responsibility for the operation and <br /> maintenance of the Navarre station no later than July 1,2024.In another sentence after that in the new <br /> resolution it talks about staff from Orono working with City staff from Long Lake and ensuring a smooth <br /> transition. In her reading,she said,they are different things and the first resolution was quite clear. <br /> Mattick said neither the City Administrator nor the Fire Chief,when preparing the report and resolution, <br /> planned on doing anything without Long Lake's consent.To the extent that wasn't clear,he said, it should <br /> have been tighter the first time around and that's the purpose of the amendment. <br /> Benson said the new resolution does not include the date of July 1 while the first resolution did. <br /> Page 4 of 8 <br />
