MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON JULY 14,1997 <br />CONTINUATION OF MAYORICOUNCIL REPORT <br />Jabbour indicated he attended the recent LMCD meeting after a lengthy discussion with <br />the DNR on how to improve the lake environment. He asked the LMCD to correct their <br />procedures regarding future planning. He indicated that it is the responsibility of the <br />LMCD to provide educational classes and review density issues. He asked the LMCD to <br />revisit these issues which would encourage representation by the City of Orono. He <br />noted that the majority of the LMCD commissioners are new, and he asked what their <br />visions are, whether for zoning and planning, milfoil, etc. to educate the City who to send <br />to the meetings. Jabbour indicated that the representative for the City of Minnetonka has <br />resigned and has not yet been replaced. <br />Jabbour said he felt it could be a good time to start attending the LMCD meetings again. <br />He asked the Council to review the issue for a decision at the next Council meeting. <br />Jabbour feels the City has done more for the lake than any other agency and has urged <br />the DNR not to leave their fiduciary responsibility regarding public access. <br />Jabbour said he has met with previous Mayor, Ed Callahan, suggesting a work session <br />with the consulting engineer for the design of the Hwy 12lCoRd 6 intersection to educate <br />all members. He noted the major design limitations to the intersection. <br />• Goetten noted that the Highway 12 Design Committee is scheduled to meet on <br />Wednesday, July 16. The noted intersection was originally on the agenda but has been <br />removed and will not be discussed. <br />U <br />Kelley asked if the information relating to the Fire Department Commission was relayed <br />at the last meeting. Moorse said the Council authorized the purchase of one truck and is <br />in the process of gaining more information regarding the second vehicle. The pro-rated <br />share of ownership was noted. Kelley said he would like to see this ownership on the <br />title for the vehicle. Moorse noted that this is the first vehicle purchased under that <br />program. Kelley asked that the title be seen. He also verified discussion of the City's <br />budgeted reserves for fire vehicle replacement. <br />ENGINEER REPORT <br />(48) PAY BEQUEST #2 OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD BIKE TRAIL <br />Goetten moved, Peterson seconded, to approve Request for Payment #2, Old Crystal Bay <br />Road Trail Project, to Buffalo Bituminous in the amount of $64,076.75.
