ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Tuesday, May 28, 2002 • <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />Sansevere addressed the issue of ticketing on North Shore Drive, near Noerenberg Park, and asked <br />that more be done to deter cars with trailers from parking and congesting the area on weekends. <br />Mayor Peterson welcomed Mr. Murphy and thanked staff for their work on the Open House. <br />Moorse commented that staff was excited about the open house and Wells Fargo made a donation <br />to the North Tonka Crime Prevention Coalition. <br />Sansevere added that the Dahlstrom Development group was insistent that they did not know that <br />the City was not interested in a grocery. He added that they will be very aggressive in trying to push <br />this through. <br />Moorse and Gaffron indicated that Dahlstrom and Landform have been aware of the City's position <br />since they first spoke, and in fact, have heard repeatedly there is a problem with a grocer. <br />Sansevere encouraged staff to make them well aware of the City's position prior to any more <br />meetings. <br />Nygard brought up the need to discuss an ordinance requiring fences around pools. Both he and • <br />Sansevere were surprised no such ordinances were on the books. <br />Nygard also suggested that staff take a closer look at the intersection arrows in Navarre at County <br />Roads 15 and 19. <br />PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR'S REPORT <br />12. Golf Course Operation Study <br />Mr. McMurchie, of McMurchie Golf Management, summarized the Golf Course Operation Study. <br />McMurchie cited three recommendations in the study: <br />1. Development of a long term and consistent methodology for setting of golf course rates <br />2. Increase the volume of available slots for golf by reducing the current 10 minute tee time <br />interval to 8 minutes. <br />McMurchie maintained that by moving the green to lengthen the first hole, this would <br />allow a reduction to an 8 minute tee time thereby increasing the available tee times by <br />27 %, which in turn should result in increased golf revenue. As part of the plan, the <br />second hole could also be lengthened by moving the tee further back. The estimated costs <br />to complete this project are $60,000. • <br />3. Renovate and improve the existing clubhouse and furnishings at an estimated cost of <br />$310,000. <br />Page 12 of 16 <br />
