� MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,November 13,2012 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (S. EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT, Continued) <br /> McMillan commented she would like some landscaping in that area and that she would prefer to have <br /> something that is less industrial looking rather than the five smaller flag poles. McMillan stated the City <br /> could perhaps come up with some ideas for what could go in the area in place of the flag poles and work <br /> with him on an alternate design. <br /> Franchot concurred the flags may be too overwhelming and suggested that some thought be given to the <br /> inclusion of plaques in place of the various flags. Franchot stated he assumes the United States flag <br /> would fly the highest. Franchot stated conceptually it is a very nice touch. <br /> Printup stated to his recollection the World War 1 memorial was put in place sometime in the 1930s. <br /> Gaffron stated that is possible and that it was relocated here when this city hall facility was constructed. <br /> McMillan recommended the plaque for the World War I veterans also be refurbished. <br /> Struve indicated he did not necessarily talk about refurbishment of the plaque itself but that it is <br /> something that can be discussed and is probably relatively easy to do. <br /> McMillan asked whether there will be any rust accumulation on the colored glass. <br /> Struve indicated they can look at the placement of the sprinkler heads to maybe minimize what they spray <br /> on. <br /> Franchot asked whether Mr.Longe would be doing most of the manual labor. <br /> Longe indicated he would likely be recruiting other scouts from within his group to help with the work. <br /> McMillan encouraged Mr.Longe to work with Staff on the project. <br /> Struve indicated Staff will bring back their recommendations on the project at some point in the coming <br /> months. <br /> Bremer commented it appears the City Council is supportive of some type of design for that area. <br /> The City Council took no formal action on this item. <br /> LMCD REPORT—ANDREW McDERMOTT,REPRESENTATIVE <br /> McDermott reported the water level of Lake Minnetonka was at a 10 or 12 year low and is currently at <br /> 927.4. A water level of 928.25' is the normal,which means it is approximately three-quarters of a foot <br /> low. <br /> The LMCD has been working on the La1ce Minnetonka Vegetative Management Plan. A draft of the plan <br /> has been received from the aquatics committee at the last board meeting,which is the first step in the <br /> process. The aquatics committee primarily looked at curly leaf pond weed and milfoil which, in their <br /> opinion,they feel they can somewhat control. At the present time there really is no way to control zebra <br /> Page 3 of 11 <br />
