MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD APRIL 13, 1987 REQUEST FOR ROAD NAME CHANGE City Administrator Bernhardson explained the request by NED, Inc. to rename the cul -de -sac road now known as L'Etoile du Nord to French Creek Circle. Staff feels that French Creek Circle will be identified with the French Creek development and find no problems or threats endangering the public safety, therefore, recommends approval of the change. Mr. Ned Dayton was present for this matter. It was moved by Councilmember Goetten, seconded by Councilmember Sime, to approve the renaming of L'Etoile du Nord to "French Creek Circle ". Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. ACCESS TO 4545 WAYZATA BOULEVARD* It was moved by Councilmember Sime, seconded by Councilmember Peterson, to accept staff's information regarding this issue and the item be tabled until April 27, 1987 to review further progress on the matter. Motion, Ayes 4, Nays 0. EMPLOYMENT AUTHORITY - ,.COMMUNITY SERVICE /ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER Councilmember Peterson questioned the different time period and number of patrol hours that were previously discussed with Council. City Administrator Bernhardson stated that Chief Kilbo felt April 15, 1987 to September 15, 1987 was the most appropriate time period needed for animal control. In addition, the difference from 10 to 15 hours was between the cost of the contract service and this in- house service. Councilmember Peterson also questioned the City's liability if the Animal Control Officer was attacked /bitten by an animal because he technically is not an expert at handling animals. City Administrator Bernhardson stated the liability would be the same as if an Orono Police Officer were attacked /bitten, it would be handled through the City's workers compensation. LaDean McWilliams, Willow Drive, stated that she felt the City should publicize the fact that Orono will be regularly patrolled, so that dog owners are aware of this and keep their dogs leashed. 3
