MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL. <br />MEETING HELD ON JUNE 24, 1996 <br />(Mayor /Council Report - Continued) <br />• <br />Moorse was asked how the closure of Old Beach Road between CoRds 19 and 15 has <br />worked out. Moorse said the results have been good. Hun said residents still speak of a <br />left turn lane proposal at County 15 and Old Beach Road. Callahan said the location of <br />such a turn lane was in the jurisdiction of Minnetonka Beach. <br />It was suggested that the City residents be updated regarding the City's efforts <br />concerning the Highway 12 corridor selection process. <br />Callahan said the position of the City regarding the Highway 12 corridor is simple and <br />has been unchanging, with preference for an upgrade of the road as it exists and <br />prevention of the highway going elsewhere. <br />Goetten said she was concerned that some people were not aware of the issues involved. <br />Council agreed that the citizens should be aware of the political support by the Council <br />and their monitoring of the situation. Moorse said he informs those who inquire that <br />Mn/DOT is leaning towards an alternate 6 solution with potential consideration of a <br />southern bypass alternative. <br />Jabbour said the last discussions included a southern bypass route, which would trigger <br />an EIS. Moorse agreed that was his understanding of Mn/DOT's inclination. Jabbour <br />noted that prior to the school meeting on the issue, this position was not the inclination of • <br />Mn/DOT. <br />Callahan asked Staff to consider the need, joint use and cost of hiring a fire marshal. <br />ENGINEER REPORT <br />Cook reported that the sewer metering has been completed but the flow information has <br />not yet been received. The contractor has not released the information to Long Lake. <br />Long Lake will inform the City of the raw data when it is received. <br />Cook said the Kelly Avenue project is progressing. The sewer repair work should be <br />completed in about two weeks. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />( #11) RECODIFICATION CONTRACT <br />Hurr moved, Goetten seconded, to approve the contract with Municipal Code <br />Corporation for recodification of the City's ordinances at a cost of $13,500 and to <br />authorize the Mayor to sign the contract.
