MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, January 14, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />  Page 10 of 16   <br />   <br />(12. NAVARRE AREA UPDATE & PROCESS, Continued) <br /> <br />drop off since people are more prone to come to a meeting when there is something that is in process of <br />happening. <br /> <br />Kempf stated he also concurs with the press release and would offer an opportunity for the Navarre <br />residents to get on the City’s e-mail list. Kempf stated in his view periodic e-mails will help generate <br />interest in the NCI. <br /> <br />Bremer stated the key is that people have to know what they are signing up for and that it needs to be <br />explained clearly, but that it does not preclude Ralph Kempf from reaching out to the people on NCI’s <br />e-mail list. <br /> <br />McMillan noted that Staff has an e-mail list of various businesses in Navarre as well. <br /> <br />Bremer commented the agendas would likely drive the involvement and that formalized meeting dates <br />will help the residents plan ahead. <br /> <br />Anderson stated the City has some good discussion items already on the table, which will help generate <br />interest in the NCI. <br />McMillan stated getting the agenda out a week ahead of a meeting to everyone will also generate interest. <br /> <br />Printup moved, Bremer seconded, to schedule meetings for February 11, April 8, June 10, at 5:00 <br />p.m., and to appoint Council Member Kristi Anderson as council liaison to the Navarre <br />Community Initiative as it relates to the Navarre planning process. VOTE: Ayes 5, nays 0. <br /> <br />13. POLICE CHIEF UPDATE <br /> <br />Police Chief Corey Farniok stated as it relates to the transition with the Mound Police Department, <br />everything has gone smoothly to date and nothing has occurred that was not anticipated. Farniok thanked <br />Police Chief Mooney with the Mound Police Department for his help with the transition. <br /> <br />Farniok indicated they are still working on updating the websites and integrating the various police <br />reports for the residents. The police department has not received any complaints regarding the delay in <br />receiving the information. The police department is currently being inundated with requests for gun <br />permits. Farniok indicated they are at or near the rate of the number of permits being requested in just <br />two months as compared to all of last year. <br /> <br />Farniok noted the transition costs were anticipated not to exceed $80,000. To date the costs are at <br />approximately $55,000. Farniok indicated they do not anticipate any more large expenses but that there <br />are some outstanding expenses that will be incurred yet for additional weapons for the officers and some <br />modifications to the buildings. Farniok stated they have approximately $15,000 to $20,000 in additional <br />identified costs. <br /> <br />Farniok stated police department staff has also met with the various school districts to discuss and update <br />their safety plans. <br /> <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 01/28/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 01/14/2013 <br />[Page 10 of 16]
