He thanked Edwards and the Public <br />Works crew for responding so well to the things going on in the City. He gets emails and calls weekly of <br />things that need attention and everything he has forwarded on to Barnhart or Edwards has been very <br />responsive. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT <br />Edwards updated the Council. The Public Works facility made the Laker Pioneer this week and the <br />reporter interviewed him the previous week and he summarized it in the written update to the Council. <br />He noted that has generated some resident feedback and they will pass that on to the Council. <br />Walsh also received a call from the Spring Park mayor who thought it was an unbelievable article,how <br />great Orono is,all the equipment;the mayor said what the Council is doing,planning,setting themselves <br />up for years down the road,this is why Spring Park wants Orono to do all this stuff for them. They are <br />impressed with Orono and what they are doing. <br />Edwards noted the Park Commission met the previous week in a work session. They received a <br />presentation on the Big Island interpretive sign from the museum curator/contractor that was hired. They <br />spent time talking about Casco Beach and a proposed dock; although it was a work session,the consensus <br />was yes the neighborhood was overwhelmingly in support of a dock with 3 nays out of 21.
