MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, August 23, 2004 7:00 o'clock p.m. MAYOR/CITY COUNCIL REPORT Sansevere stated that a Lydiard Beach resident had contacted him regarding an adjoining neighbor to the beach who has been infringing too much on City property. He suggested that staff review a recent survey and make a determination. Murphy stated that, while the improvements are appreciated, it is the fact that this neighbor has gone so far as to yell at residents to get off the grass and put in a sprinkler head on public property that is offensive. Acting Mayor White suggested Gappa speak to the neighbor and mark the park boundaries with signage. Murphy stated that he received an anonymous letter which questions how the funds that Orono is paying to the City of Excelsior for Fire service are being used. He indicated that the City of Orono has no jurisdiction over the Excelsior Fire Service and no authority over how these fees are spent. McMillan stated that the Stubbs Bay feasibility study was complete and the MCWD would be contacting the City to schedule a presentation. In addition, she invited other interested Council members to join her for a meeting Thursday at 9:00 a.m. with a Bayside Road resident who has expressed a desire to contribute a portion of their property to aid in storrnwater management. Acting Mayor White commended the Planning Commission on managing its work load well and running effective meetings. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 12.
