MINUTES OF THE • ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING . Monday,March 11,2013 7:00 o'clock p.m. (Il. EVAL UATION OF OPTIONS PRESENTED BY RESIDENTS FOR THE ORONO GOLF COURSE, Continued) Levang concurred the fundraising could be discussed during the volunteer portion of the meeting. Struve stated in terms of course trends,he is getting the impression the Council does not want to pursue Course Trends. Levang indicated that is correct. Jane Delaney, 1350 Woodhill, indicated she has done some research into Course Trends and it might be something they may want to look at pursuing. The marketing Course Trends is proposing would be done by the management of the golf course through different templates that are available for brochures and notices. Delaney stated the social media aspect on their website might be more attractive to the City and that obtaining a domain name is relatively cheap. Delaney stated they want to make sure, if you have a service like Course Trends; it is tied into all the branding. Struve asked if there is a specific date the Council has in mind for the operational meeting. McMillan suggested Struve send out possible dates and that the Council members can get back to him. McMillan stated she would like Ron Steffenhagen be present as well as the city administrator. Struve asked if this needs to be advertised as a special meeting. Mattick indicated that would be necessary if there is a quorum of the Council. Struve indicated he will send some dates out to the Council and pursue some cost estimates and have those available at that meeting. Struve noted he may not be able to obtain some of the cost estimates since he does not know the full scope of the project being proposed. 12. WELLHEAD PROTECTION PLAN—SET PUBLIC HEARING Struve stated a wellhead protection plan is a requirement of the Minnesota Department of Health. Wellhead protection is a method of preventing contamination of a public water supply well by effectively managing potential contaminant sources in the area which contributes water to a public water supply well. This is essentially a two-year process which was started by Orono Public Works and MDH early in 20011. The wellhead protection plan is broken down into two parts. Phase I requires Orono to delineate the wellhead protection plan for the city. This portion of the plan includes information pertaining to the inventory of potential contaminants of concern within the Drinking Water Supply management Area; issues, problems, and concerns within the DWSMA; goals,objectives and action strategies to address the issues and concerns within the WSMA; a plan evaluation strategy and a contingency strategy in the event of water system disruption. Bolt&Menk has prepared a draft report for the Part 2 Wellhead Protection Plan for the City of Orono. The draft report was distributed to the appropriate agencies on February 19, 2013. Page 18 of 27
