MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 25, 1996 • (Mayor /Council Report - Continued) Kelley asked for an explanation on the agreement made with the DNR regarding winter use of the Maxwell Bay access noting it is being plowed and used for parking. Hurr said she understood the access could be plowed by a person because of the elimination of parking on CoRd 51 for use by ice fishermen in the area. Jabbour noted the DNR had agreed to use the docks to barricade the ramps to eliminate their usage. He indicated the DNR has used cement blocks for this purpose. Jabbour commented that the no parking applies to both CoRds 51 and 135. Callahan asked to see the policy regarding this issue placed in the next information packet. Hurr also indicated that the agreement was to allow for adequate parking for fishing pier usage and the 12 spaces available are for cars without trailers only. She was informed that the percentage of use was similar to other boat accesses but is of the opinion that the DNR will change the parking to provide for those people using the fishing pier. Kelley asked to have charts provided at the upcoming truth in taxation hearing on December 4, 1996 explaining how the property tax collected is divided up amongst the State, County, Schools, and City. This would allow the residents to more fully understand their tax dollars at work and the City's portion of 11.5 %. He asked that the examples show different market values of properties. He noted this chart could also be used during assessment time. • Mayor Callahan asked Staff to give special acknowledgment to Bruce Dayton and his wife, Ruth Stricker, for their recent donation of land. • Moorse indicated the top six planning candidates have been interviewed and the field narrowed to three. It was determined Moorse should notify the Council Members when the final interviews are held to allow for their presence and input.
