MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD MAY 26. 1992 <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT - CONT. <br />Chief Sullivan reported that an elderly lady went off the road near <br />Bohns Point, hit a pedestrian, the fence and a tree. <br />It was moved by Butler, seconded by Jabbour, to authorize the <br />appropriate Individual to sign and send the letter to Gayles Marina <br />as soon as possible. Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />Gaffron reported that last week Gayles Marina verbally asked If <br />they would be allowed to rebuild the sign outside their business. <br />All Council Members agreed that If they do not have a license to <br />operate, approval should not be granted for the sign. <br />Barrett explained that the Council has two remedies to the <br />situation. The first would be to find the properties In violation <br />of the ordinances and prosecute as a misdemeanor, and the second <br />would be to bring civil action against the operation of the marina <br />which would require a court order to stop the business and Is more <br />expensive and a slower process. <br />Jabbour asked If they could not require a performance bond for <br />these licenses. <br />Callahan noted that In the case of Windward Marina, a letter has <br />been sent telling them to cease operation until payment for the <br />1991 license fee is received. <br />Gaffron noted that a letter has been sent, and the letter also <br />requests the completion of required Items such as paving the <br />parking lot by mid summer. He stated the letter did not <br />specifically say that the operation will be closed down if the <br />Marina does not comply. <br />Callahan stated that since Windwarv. Marina Is In violation and has <br />been warned a number of times. If payment Is not received In <br />another week, staff should send a reminder note. <br />Jabbour reminded him that when the Council discussed the issue of <br />fees and it appeared In the newspaper that Windward Marina had not <br />yet paid. Rivers contacted the City and said the least they could <br />do was send a letter reminding him. <br />It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to authorize <br />sending the letters to Lakeside Marina and North Shore Marina. <br />Ayes 5, nayo 0.
