ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 2003 <br />• MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />Murphy stated that he had met with the Long Lake and Excelsior Fire Chiefs with Gabriel <br />Jabbour concerning the effort to help Long Lake provide fire service to the Navarre area. <br />They discussed the necessary manpower, equipment, etc. Excelsior's fire chief has a good <br />attitude and is helping with the effort. <br />Murphy stated he went to the Met Council trails and waterways meeting to testify against <br />Minnetonka Beach's Comprehensive Plan. As a result of his and Jabbour's testimony, as <br />well as that of others, Met Council talked with the Minnetonka Beach Mayor about their <br />plan and the Council disavowed that portion of the Minnetonka Beach Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br />Sansevere stated that the City had a new City Planner working before the hiring came <br />before Council. He asked what would happen if the Council disapproved of a hiring after <br />the person had already started work. He suggested they give hiring authority to the City <br />Administrator. Barrett stated that Orono is a Plan A City, meaning the legislative and <br />administrative both come before Council. Council could not delegate the authority to the <br />City Administrator to approve hiring without their final approval. <br />Mayor Peterson stated she had received a letter concerning the Safe and Sober Award. <br />Chief Good had nominated Sergeant Correy Farniok for the award.
