MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON MAY 28, 1996 (#5 Marina Licenses 199^ - Continued) Kelley asked what the next step will be and the process which will be followed; for instance, if Lakeside Marina is issued a citation tomorrow. The two marinas operating without making application for CUP will be sent a letter informing them the Council expects compliance. If the deadline date of 6/21 is not met, they will be tagged the following Monday, 6/24, by the building inspector. Meanwhile, the City will prepare information to be given to the City’s prosecuting attorney Gaffron said failure to comply is a misdemeanor with a possible fine of $750 or up to 90 days in jail, although, it is unlikely the court would assess more than a small fine. If no compliance, then a court date would be set with a judge making a determination. Callahan noted if a judge sees a repeated offender, they will take a stronger view. This procedure will allow the documentation process to begin. Callahan moved, Kelley seconded, o direct Staff to issue 1996 commercial marina licenses to Windward Marina, Minnetonka Boat Works - Orono, Sailor's World Inc., and North Shore Marina subject to continued compliance with the minimum operation standards Vote; Ayes 5, Nays 0.
