MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, October 27, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />  Page 31 of 32  <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Levang noted the City newsletter has been sent out and that there is a good amount of information on <br />voting. Levang indicated the back page of the newsletter is something that can be kept by the residents <br />since it contains frequently called numbers. <br /> <br />Printup noted Otten Brothers held an international festival last Friday and that he would encourage the <br />residents to attend next year’s event. <br /> <br />McMillan indicated she has spoken with Staff about getting the proposed subdivision signs up on the sites <br />as the applicants go through the application process. McMillan stated the City’s notice signs tend to be <br />small and people do not always notice them as they are driving by or they may not be in the required <br />notification area. McMillan stated having a bigger sign would be helpful. <br /> <br />Gaffron noted there has been a sign at Lakeview and Oliver Hill for the past year. <br /> <br />Mack stated he took a picture of the sign in Medina and that they are slightly larger than what Orono has. <br /> <br />Mack displayed the picture on the overhead. <br /> <br />Levang stated the color of Orono’s sign may also make it more difficult to see and that perhaps blue <br />might be more noticeable. <br /> <br />McMillan requested Staff check to see how many signs the Public Works Department typically has on <br />hand. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br /> <br />Loftus noted a joint work session with the Planning Commission is scheduled for November 5 to discuss <br />code updates. <br /> <br />Loftus stated work on the City Hall remodeling project will begin on approximately November 17 and <br />that that area will be closed off for around four weeks. Loftus stated the metal buildings are on site and <br />construction is moving along. <br /> <br /> <br />*14.
