MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 25, 2016 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Page 3 of 8 <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENTS (continued) <br /> <br />Kalweit indicated she did attempt to speak with Frontier over those four days and that she kept getting a <br />busy signal. <br /> <br />McMillan suggested Ms. Kalweit call her and that she will attempt to work with her to get the issues <br />resolved. <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER REPORT <br /> <br />3. OLD CRYSTAL BAY TURN LANE – RESOLUTION NO. 6651 <br /> <br />Public Works/City Engineer Edwards stated before the City Council tonight is a resolution to partner with <br />the Orono School District on the construction of a turn lane into the high school off of Old Crystal bay <br />Road. The resolution would authorize the City contributing up to $25,000 to develop a turn lane on the <br />southbound section into the school parking lot. <br /> <br />Edwards stated the school contacted him last Friday and indicated that they will not be able to commence <br />this project prior to the start of school this fall and that he will be working with them to come up with <br />some bid alternates. <br /> <br />McMillan stated she is glad the school had some studies performed to determine which project should be <br />a priority. <br /> <br />Edwards stated a northbound turn lane is also desirable, but given the traffic levels, the school felt a <br />southbound turn lane would provide more benefit, particularly given the issue of backups onto County <br />Road 6. <br /> <br />Council Member Walsh noted the school has done quite a bit over the years to improve internal traffic <br />circulation and is being proactive by looking at other improvements. <br /> <br />Walsh moved, Levang seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6651, a Resolution to Partner with <br />the Orono School District for the Construction of a Turn Lane on Old Crystal Bay Road. <br />VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS/CITY ENGINEER REPORT, CONTINUED <br /> <br />Edwards reported on the following items: <br />• Right-of-way mowing has been completed <br />• Tree removal has been done in response to the recent storm <br />• Trash removal has been performed on Tonka View and the Navarre Municipal parking lot <br />• Watertown Road phase two is currently underway <br />• Culvert repair has been performed on Lyric <br />• 2016 sewer cleaning is currently underway <br />• Well No. 4 site preparation is currently underway <br />• The privacy screen at Summit has been rebuilt <br />• The information sign at French Creek has been installed
