MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 24, 2014 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 5 of 24 (4. COUNTY ROAD 112 TURNBACK PROJECT - RESOLUTION NO. 6375, Continued) McMillan asked if the next step after this is finalizing of the design and fine tuning of the costs. Grube stated the answer to that question is yes, but to get from tonight to the desired outcome will take a significant amount of work. Grube stated the next question that will need to be answered is whether the City Council is interested in creating another project advisory committee or hosting open houses to ensure that both the public and the City are comfortable with the direction that is being pursued. McMillan indicated it would probably be best to speak with Long Lake to see whether any aspects of the project can be consolidated. Grube stated the Transportation Department will have a strong engagement with Long Lake on the east end of the project given the number of homes in that area. Printup moved, Levang seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6375, a Resolution to Approve the CSAH 112 Preliminary Layout. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0.
