MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 14, 2011 <br />• 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(4. ORONO ENERGYAND ENVIRONMENT DISPLAY, Continued) <br />Kroeger indicated she would leave off the City logo and the words Orono, Minnesota, to make it more <br />generic. <br />Bremer stated the basic concepts contained in the display are things that the Council agrees with but that <br />she would recommend any official City logo not be included to avoid any confusion that it is an official <br />city publication. Bremer reiterated that she would be fine with a 60 -day display. <br />McMillan noted Kroeger has served as Orono's recycling coordinator for a number of years. <br />Bremer moved, Rahn seconded, to approve the energy and environmental display presented by <br />Amelia Kroeger and to allow a 60 -day temporary display during the months of October and <br />November, with the condition that the official logo and website of the City be removed from the <br />display. <br />Thiesse commented that she may want to have the display during the spring to coordinate with the <br />hardcover task force. <br />Kroeger indicated she does not know if it will be ready by the spring. <br />• VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />LMCD REPORT - ANDREW McDERMOTT, REPRESENTATIVE <br />McDermott reported the annual audit of the LMCD has been completed and that the auditors have <br />recommended there be better oversight on certain issues. McDermott indicated the LMCD is limited in <br />its ability to oversee everything given the fact that there are only three employees but that the Board <br />currently reviews all the checks and debits and credits. <br />McDermott noted the lake levels could be very high this year depending on how fast the snow melts. <br />They have already attempted to open Gray's Bay dam to help divert the water. <br />The LMCD has also changed how special events are handled. In the past both the LMCD and the <br />Sheriff's Water Patrol would review the special permits. The LMCD will now defer that review to the <br />Sheriff's Water Patrol and they will bring any concerns they have with the event back to the LMCD, <br />which should help to streamline the process. <br />The LMA is currently reviewing the proposals received for the chemical treatment. <br />The LMCD has also approved the Woodland Cove development for the boat storage. The development <br />will have 117 boat storage units along 8,816 feet of shoreline. The major discussion centered around how <br />those boat storage units will be tied to individual properties, and it was determined that each boat dock <br />would be tied to one property. The developer had requested 20 free floating docks, with the possibility of <br />operating a boat club. The developer still needs to go before the City of Minnetrista for approval. <br />• McDermott noted the LMCD will commence discussions on the 2012 budget in the very near future. <br />Page 3 of 22 <br />
