MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL, MEETING <br />Monday, June 11, 2012 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />Franchot stated he was surprised at the minimal amount of milling that is occurring on Brown Road and <br />asked if the roadbed is in good enough condition for new pavement. <br />Struve stated it is an overlay project and not a mill and overlay project and that they are just conducting <br />milling where necessary. <br />McMillan reported The Trails of Orono had their grand opening last Thursday and that Creative Kids <br />Academy will be having their open house this Saturday. <br />McMillan noted Senator Franken was invited out on Lake Minnetonka along with the DNR to look at the <br />aquatic invasive species. The DNR and the Watershed District spoke to Senator Franken about what their <br />plans are for the lake and possibly obtaining some research money. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />• <br />Loftus noted she was contacted by Spring Park regarding two of their streetlight posts falling due to their <br />deteriorated condition. Spring Park wanted to let Orono know that they will be removing seven of the <br />light posts due to rust problems and then conducting an analysis of the other lights along County Road 15. <br />Loftus indicated Spring Park's city administrator asked whether Orono would be interested in having one • <br />of their lights analyzed at the same time to see if they are in the same type of condition. Loftus stated <br />Orono's Public Works Department could also inspect the light posts for rust and other issues. <br />Loftus stated Spring Park would like to know whether Orono would be interested in partnering with them <br />in applying for a grant and/or having Orono's streetlights bid in conjunction with their replacement <br />project. Loftus stated it will be likely this item will be discussed in more depth at a future Council <br />meeting. <br />Franchot stated at this point it sounds like Spring Park is just in the process of assessing the situation. <br />McMillan requested the City Administrator check on the status of the banners, how many have been sold, <br />and when they will be installed. <br />*10.
