MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Franchot stated to his knowledge the LMCC had a fairly successful work session on Saturday. The preliminary conclusion was that funding a large scale study is not realistic given the fact that the cities would need to fund it and that a more logical approach would be to do a limited market analysis to determine the demand and need for an upgraded system. 0 LJ Franchot noted he has been elected vice chair of the LMCC. McMillan noted she attended the Native Lakeshore Workshop organized by the City where there were • approximately ten people in attendance. A meeting was also held with Lin Vee, Rachel Dodge, herself, and two hauler representatives regarding the organic survey results. Out of the 200 responses that were received, approximately 50 percent were currently participating in the organics recycling program or indicated a desire to do so. McMillan noted the City did receive some grant money for this program that will go through the end of next year. Murphy noted Friday and Saturday, June 19'h and 2001, have been designated Big Island weekend. Tour guides will be available to show the island to the visitors. New maps have been printed and this year's schedule is on the website. Murphy commented that this is a great partnership between the Minnetonka Watershed District, the Minnehaha, and the City. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT Kellogg noted the City of Orono is an MS-4 community, which means that the City is obligated to obtain an MS4 permit that is regulated through the MPCA. The permit is redone every five years and in 2011 the City will need to go through the repermitting process. One rule that will be implemented in the near future will be to require mapping of all storm sewers and other storm drainage infrastructure. June 1, 2011, is the deadline for the mapping to be completed. Kellogg noted the City's street CIP will be ready for review at the next city council meeting. Weather has hindered work on Casco Point and there are approximately three days of paving remaining on the project. • PAGE 4 of 7
