It is anticipated that the individual assigned to this ta::k will not only be a person who has been with the Sheriff's Department several years in a patrol function but most probably be an officer who has had patrol experience in Orono. HIGHWAY 12 CORRIDOR - The kick-off meeting for the Highway 12 study will be held on September 26th, 1985 at 7:30 at Orono Schools. This kick-off will be for the Council Members, Planning Commission Members and the land owners affected, and will be a presentation by Mr. Shardlow as to the area included in the study objectives. CRYSTAL BAY APPRAISER - To date we have contacted two appraisers and only one of them has given us a quotation. We are presently seeking additional quotations and hopefully will bring this back to you on the 9th of September. ROVEGNO FENCE - At the Planning Commission meeting it was their decision that the construction of the fence was not in accordance with the ordinance. Staff is communicating with Mr. Rovegno to submit a variance application for the September 16th, 1985 Planning Commission meeting. GAS SPILL - On August 14, 1985 at 10:30 p.m. approximately 75 gallons of unlea o gasoline was spilled while fueling a City vehicle. The fuel was retained in an excavated area at the intersection of Crystal Avenue and South Brown Road. The fuel was pumped into 55 gallon drums and disposed of according to methods recommended by Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The following day one foot of earth was removed from the retention area and air dryed in a safe area as recommended by the MPCA. The officer involved has received an oral reprimand. ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS - At the last Planning Commission meeting the Commission was given several zoning ordinance amendments but due to the fact that it was 12:30 before that item on the agenda was reached, they decided to table that until their September 16th, 1985 meeting. MOODY'S MUNICIPAL CREDIT REPORT - Please see attached report. SMITH -POWER'S SEWER MATTER - To date all the appropriate documents have seen or are being • goad and appropriate checks being delivered.
