f' <br />• MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 8, 1988 <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS CONTINUED <br />-Mr. & Mrs. Nehring, 1972 Shadywood Road, asked if <br />Council had given any consideration to dropping the <br />charges against them for feeding wildlife. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained that this is a <br />matter of litigation of a legal process of which <br />decisions are not generally dealt with in a public <br />forum. <br />They felt that they should not be prohibited from <br />feeding the wildlife that tend to stay through the <br />winter because of the open water in the channel near <br />their property. They also felt they were being <br />discriminated against because they were not the only <br />people feeding the ducks. They stated that they have <br />put up with many other neighborhood nuisance problems <br />over the years without complaint. <br />Mayor Grabek stated that sometimes matters such as this <br />require an unbiased party to settle. <br />PARK COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />• Robert Kost, Park Commission Chairperson, presented the <br />1988 Work Plan and noted that Commission intends to <br />become even more active this year. <br />Councilmember Goetten asked when they planned to <br />distribute the park user survey. <br />Mr. Kost stated they anticipate the survey being sent <br />out in early April. <br />Mayor Grabek commended the volunteers on the Park <br />Commission for their work.
