MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, February 24, 2003 7:00 o'clock p.m. . MAYOR/CITY COUNCIL REPORT, Continued As the most vocal Council member, McDermott suggested that the Commission work with Sansevere to establish a date that would work for him. With regard to the upcoming Affordable Housing meeting to be held this Thursday evening, White asked what format it would follow. Sansevere indicated that he would prefer an informative round table, versus a lecture. Murphy asked if the Council would be given an agenda of scheduled speakers for the evening to ensure a focus or direction. White indicated that one of the scheduled speakers, Mr. Cramer would be very informative and upfront with the issues. He maintained that Mr. Cramer presents the issues fairly and states both the proponents and oppositions' points objectively. Sansevere asked that a question and answer opportunity be allowed. Mayor Peterson agreed that a panel discussion, or 5 -10 minute presentation by speakers, would probably be most helpful to the Council with an opportunity for Q &A. As she felt • ignorant of the topic, the Mayor stated that it was her intent to learn from this discussion and gain new information. Sansevere concurred that he wished to learn new things without being spoken at. Murphy suggested that Moorse act as the moderator to ensure a good dialogue. PUBLIC SERVICE DIRECTOR'S REPORT *7.
