MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON JANUARY 13, 1997 (Mayor /Council Report - Continued) • g Goetten recognized a letter received from John and Karla Spooner regarding the access from Orono Lane to CoRd 15. She thought they would have received information regarding the County's plans for the road. Moorse said he would obtain a copy of the County plans and send them to the Spooners. Kelley asked how the City was doing regarding the amount of overtime for public works employees due to snow removal. Moorse said the City streets are able to be cleaned within an 8 -hour time period. The personnel are called in to assist when plowing is necessary. The only overtime involved has been when the snow has occurred on the weekends. Moorse said there has not been a problem. Kelley asked if the Public Works Department could use their pay loader machinery to push piles of snow away from intersections to aid sight lines. He noted that most private roads are cleared by pickup trucks who do not have this capability. Gappa said this has been occurring, and he will follow through. Goetten also asked that the sanding be extended further down the streets rather than at corners only. Gappa noted that the City was running out of places to put the accumulating snow.
