Other neighboring cities attending the workshop included Minnetonka Beach, <br /> Deep Haven,Victoria, Greenwood, and Minnetonka. Levang stated it was noteworthy that every one of <br /> the cities that were in attendance indicated a desire to learn from their neighbors. With the exception of <br /> Victoria,most of the cities have little open space and are interested in maintaining healthy communities, <br /> more walkability, and addressing the needs of the baby boomers. <br /> Levang noted there was quite a comprehensive agenda at the work session and it was well worth the time. <br /> Levang thanked the Planning Department for bringing the workshop to their attention and encouraging <br /> people to attend. <br /> Anderson stated last week she went on a tour of city hall,the public works facility and the police <br /> department. Anderson indicated the tour was very helpful in understanding the space issues the police <br /> department is currently experiencing. <br /> McMillan thanked Council Member Levang and Planning Commissioners Landgraver and Leskinen for <br /> attending the land use workshop and that it shows a good level of dedication to the City. <br /> McMillan thanked the Orono City Staff for the changes in the recycling cart,which hopefully will <br /> encourage more people to recycle. <br /> Bremer commented it is disappointing that the national statistics show the number of people recycling has <br /> not increased dramatically over the years. <br /> Printup stated the Mayor of Long Lake had some statistics relating to their recycling program and how it <br /> has increased over the past year. <br /> McMillan stated she received some correspondence from Joan Wolfe who is looking for historical <br /> information on Navarre. Wolfe is in the process of compiling materials relating to business and family <br /> background information, interesting Navarre highlights, information on generational businesses, <br /> information on interesting and notable individuals from the Navarre area, and interesting lake stories with <br /> Navarre connections. McMillan suggested the City include a link on their website so people can contact <br /> Joan to provide that type of information. <br /> McMillan noted she also recently attended a follow-up meeting for the community drug forum. In <br /> attendance were representatives from Orono, Spring Park, Minnetrista,and Mound as well as <br /> representatives from the various police departments and school districts.
