MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 10, 2007 7:00 o'clock p.m. �J PUBLIC COMMENTS Gretchen Menzel, President of the Local Chapter of Crime Prevention, noted they will be hosting their second Belgian Waffle fundraiser on September 23 from 9:00 to 1:00 at Presbyterian Calvary Church. Menzel stated last year the funds raised went to purchase defibrillators for the police department. This year there will also be a silent auction. McMillan requested information on the Belgium Waffle fundraiser be distributed on the City's listserv. Mike Russin, 3175 North Shore Drive, stated he has resided in the City of Orono for the last 14 years and that for the last 10 or 11 years they have lived next door to a resident that has stalked and harassed them endlessly. Russin indicated the police department has done very little to resolve the situation and that they have been told time and time again that they are assuming this individual is dangerous. Russin stated this individual has broken into someone's house and assaulted the woman resident for several hours, has committed various other incidents, and that every evening this individual shines floodlights into his six -year old daughter's bedroom. Russin stated he is now being told that the police department will not be coming out any more to investigate. White stated the City has prosecuted this matter and has received an order from the court and that the order basically states the court was unable to determine the facts with the same degree of certainty that Mr. Russin has given to the council tonight. White stated it is difficult for the City Council to take sides and that the city attorney has indicated he cannot deal with this situation further since the evidence is not clear on who is at fault. 0 Russin stated he is in possession of two different court documents with two different stories from this individual. White stated the city attorney has recommended that if the City determines further legal action is warranted, an independent prosecutor should look at this matter.
