MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />November 10, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />  Page 31 of 31  <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(CITY ADMINISTRTOR’S REPORT, Continued) <br /> <br />Loftus reported the police project is also moving along and that work on the front lobby is anticipated to <br />start November 19. Loftus stated the partition in the council chambers will be closed and that they will be <br />setting up a temporary front office on the other side. Loftus indicated the lobby will be under <br />construction for approximately four weeks. <br /> <br />Loftus noted Council Member Printup and Police Chief Farniok attended a Highway 12 safety meeting. <br />The group is looking at installing rumble strips west of County Road 6 out to Howard Lake. That item <br />will be brought to the Council to discuss at some point in the future. The group is hoping to have those <br />installed sometime in 2015. <br /> <br />Printup noted the section in Orono does not have housing on either side, which is one consideration being <br />given to the rumble strips. <br /> <br />Loftus noted Staff has had a couple of meetings with Hennepin County. The Mayor and Staff met with <br />the City Assessor to talk about property values. The City Assessor is anticipating that nonlakeshore <br />properties will increase around five percent and lakeshore residential properties increasing about seven <br />percent, which is below the County averages. The other meeting related to the Highway 12 turnback <br />project. The Department of Transportation has indicated that the City will likely assume responsibility <br />for the stormwater pond, which would have some maintenance implications for the City. <br /> <br />*18.
