MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 8, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />  Page 25 of 25  <br />(15. MEDIACOM UPDATE, Continued) <br /> <br />Loftus stated the Council may want to focus on the PEG fees first and build up a fund to replace <br />equipment in the future. Loftus stated there has been a pretty dramatic changeover from cable to the <br />Internet, and as a franchise, the City does not get to collect that fee on Internet service. <br /> <br />McMillan stated there is also Staff time involved with dealing with any issues that might arise with <br />Mediacom, which is also a consideration. McMillan stated in her view the change has been good so far. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT, CONTINUED <br /> <br />Loftus noted the utility work for the police project was completed last week and some interior demolition <br />work has been started. Soil corrections will be done this week and the footings will be started the <br />following week. Loftus indicated Staff experienced some conflicts with meeting space overlapping but <br />that everyone is pitching in and being supportive of each other during the construction. <br /> <br />Loftus stated last week the Council was provided with an update regarding the Minnetrista water main <br />project. Loftus stated as part of that project, the residents may see some directional drilling occurring on <br />County Road 151 and that they should be aware that the water main is not being connected to Lakeview. <br /> <br />Loftus stated in follow-up to the last Council work session, Mr. Gamboni has proposed a date of April 9, <br />2015, which is a Thursday, from 6:00 to 8:30 to have the intergenerational dialogue and how that relates <br />to the future of Orono. Loftus stated Mr. Gamboni is looking for people who would like to be on his <br />planning committee and that he will be providing an outline of what he plans to be doing between now <br />and April. Loftus indicated she will provide that information to the City Council once she receives it. <br /> <br /> <br />*16.
