ESTABLISH MARCH 28TH WORK SESSION, Continued) <br /> <br />Printup asked what was decided on the landscaping that would be presented at the work session. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated he still needs direction on the railing. <br /> <br />Printup stated he would like to see the railing eliminated. <br /> <br />Bremer indicated she would like to keep it as designed and look at it again if costs go over on the project. <br /> <br />Kellogg stated they could incorporate additional plants as an option in lieu of the railing. <br /> <br />Bremer indicated she would be fine with that. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the entire median would be raised. <br /> <br />Kellogg indicated it would be and that there would be some openings in the median where the manholes <br />are located. Kellogg noted the police and fire departments have reviewed the plans with the exception of <br />the latest landscaping revisions. <br /> <br />McMillan commented that in her opinion the police and fire departments would want the ability to cross <br />the median in the event of an emergency, which the plants and shrubs would allow versus the railing. <br /> <br />Bremer moved, Printup seconded, to schedule a joint work session with the Orono School Board on <br />March 28th at 5:30 p.m., to get an update on the final design for Old Crystal Bay Road. VOTE: <br />Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Printup indicated he has gotten some good feedback about the LMCC taping. Printup indicated last <br />Friday he took a tour with Mr. Gaffron around Orono to look at ongoing projects and to obtain a history <br />of the area. <br /> <br />McMillan reported she had a meeting with the Hennepin County Commissioners and local mayors.
