MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Tuesday, May 27, 2008 <br />7.00 o'clock p.m. • <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />Rahn stated he did review the pictures of the work taking place on Big Island and that the work looks <br />great. Rahn noted the Star Tribune's Saturday paper carried a story about the Minnehaha and Big <br />Island. <br />McMillan suggested the City send a representative to the upcoming LMCD meeting. McMillan <br />indicated she has a concern regarding the amount of funding the LMCD would like to be levied and <br />noted that the LMCD is attempting to levy $30,000 for the chemical treatment, which in her view <br />should fall under Save the Lake. McMillan recommended a letter be sent from the City regarding that <br />item and suggested this item be discussed further in a work session. <br />White expressed concern that the residents on the chemically treated bays are not aware of all the <br />regulations that should be followed and the consequences that could happen if they are not closely <br />adhered to. White stated based on his past experience, it is doubtful the costs to treat the bays would <br />decrease in future years. <br />Keidrowski asked whether Staff should draft a letter regarding the LMCD levy for Council review at <br />their upcoming work session. <br />White requested that a letter be drafted. <br />McMillan commented the LMCD should be more cognizant of the budget constraints that the City is • <br />under and attempt to make reasonable funding requests. <br />CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT <br />City Engineer Kellogg had nothing to report. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />*5.
