w <br />• <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, December 18, 2000 <br />(Mayor /Council Report, Continued) <br />Jabbour stated he has recently read a memorandum from the City Planner of Minnetonka Beach <br />regarding their preliminary approval of their Comprehensive Plan. Jabbour stated they are <br />contemplating constructing cut -de -sacs on all through streets to Orono. <br />Sansevere inquired whether there have been any arrests in the Casco Point burglary. <br />Moorse stated to his knowledge there has not been. <br />Sansevere inquired what safeguards the City has in place to prevent the 60 day time period from <br />elapsing prior to being extended. <br />Moorse stated what happened in the Van Eeckhout application was that one extension letter was <br />not signed during the process, with City Staff inadvertently marking it as having been received. <br />Staff did not realize the extension letter was not signed until the next 60 day time period was <br />about to expire. Moorse stated the City does currently have a procedure in place to handle that. <br />Sansevere thanked Mayor Jabbour and Charles Kelley for their efforts and contributions to the <br />City of Orono during the time he has been on the City Council. <br />Kelley stated he would like to see all utility lines along Highway 12 buried if possible in <br />• connection with the proposed new senior housing facility. <br />Moorse indicated the Fire Department Building Committee has narrowed its list of possible sites <br />for the new fire station. Moorse stated the two sites are located on Willow Drive, with a <br />purchase agreement having been signed for Option C. Moorse stated he has met with the <br />property owners for Option A, who have indicated they are willing to work with the two cities <br />in determining the priority site. <br />Kelley stated the Committee would prefer Option B due to their concerns relating to the fire <br />trucks traveling over Glendale Drive over to Brown Road. <br />Moorse indicated once the land is acquired, they are looking at approximately two years before <br />the new fire station will be completed. <br />• <br />PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR'S REPORT <br />*( 95) REQUEST FOR PAYMENT #1 — NAVARRE PARK IMPROVEMENTS <br />Peterson moved, Sansevere seconded, to approve a $35,000 budget adjustment to the 2000 <br />Capital Improvement Budget for the Navarre Park Improvements Project, and to approve <br />Request for Payment #1, Navarre Park Improvements Project to Koolmo Construction, <br />Inc., in the amount of $75,904.53.
