TO:Mayor and City Council FROM:Ron Moorse, City Administrator DATE:March 18, 1993 SUBJECT: Open House Plan'’ At the March 8th Council meeting Council indicated approval of the preliminary plans for the open house. As staff has discussed the open house plans further several new suggestions have been made. 1. 2. The date was originally set as Sunday, May 23rd. The Architect and Construction M->.nager have indicated that work on landscaping will not begin until at least early May. They suggested the open house be scheduled for sometime in mid-June. The Sundays in June are the 13th, 20th and 27th. June 13 is the Sunday following tlie Orono High School commencement. This may conflict with graduation receptions. June 20th, is Father's Day. Please check your calendars so that a new date can be selected at the Council meeting. The Police Officers have requested that the Police building be dedicated to the memory of Winton Bv.rmaster, who was the Assistant Police Chief from 1962 to 1986. He was a very well liked and respected memtber of the department and represents a very positive tradition for the Police Department. I have attached a letter from the Police Benevolent Association indicating their proposal to purchase a plaque to recognize Mr. Burmaster. If the Council concurs with this proposal the Council may Wct'.t to add the Police Building dedication ceremony to the schedule of events for the open house. 3.Several vendors have approached me regarding whether the City has any interest in purchasing mementos of the open house celebration to be given to those who attend. These could include; pens, pencils or other small items with some inscription related to the open house. The invitations and programs for the event will in themselves serve as mementos as will the newsletter article. If the Council decides that additional mementos should be provided staff will follow though with appropriate vendors.
