MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, January 12, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />Levang stated this year they were able to contribute three-quarters of a ton of fresh produce to WeCan and <br />one-quarter of a ton to the Gillespie Center. Levang stated a significant amount of effort went into <br />producing that amount of food. <br />Levang noted she did sit in on the Park Commission's last meeting and attended part of their work <br />session. Levang stated in her view the donation policy was very well done and that she is glad the <br />Commissioners were able to dedicate the time required to create the new policy. <br />The Park Commission has been in the process of touring some of the parks and is in the process of <br />compiling a list of items that can be done this spring. <br />Printup stated he would like to thank Diamond Surface for installing the rumble strips on Highway 12. <br />Printup stated he would also like the City Council to begin to explore the idea of videotaping the Planning <br />Commission meetings and that perhaps that discussion could be started at the next Council work session. <br />Printup noted the City Council meetings have been videotaped for the past four years. <br />McMillan asked if the Highway 12 Safety Coalition Committee will be meeting again soon. <br />Printup indicated they just met last week and that Chief Famiok is not present tonight to provide an <br />update. <br />Levang stated it would be interesting to hear what kind of feedback they received on the rumble strips. <br />Loftus stated Diamond Surface was not able to repaint the centerline, which will be done in the spring, <br />and that the committee will be bringing a request to add rumble strips on the shoulder as well. <br />McMillan noted the City received a thank you letter from the Pioneer Museum for hosting the City's <br />125`s anniversary there. <br />McMillan noted there was a police commission meeting on December 17 and that it has been another <br />successful year for the police department. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />8. ANNUAL APPOINTMENTS — RESOLUTION NO. 6481 <br />Loftus stated before the City Council tonight is a draft resolution for the annual appointments. The newly <br />elected officials have been added.
