MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, March 25, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />Page 7 of 10  <br />  <br />(6. NAVARRE APRIL 8 MEETING – DRAFT AGENDA, Continued) <br /> <br />The draft agenda for the April 8 Navarre Community Meeting will include the following items: <br />crosswalk alternatives, lighting options update, sidewalk conditions inventory, grant opportunities update, <br />and NCI comments. <br /> <br />Levang asked if Jim Grube provided any information on safety dollars. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated he has not provided anything to date but that he did indicate they are planning on doing <br />a review of the accident history of that area. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if the Navarre Initiative Committee said anything about a Navarre cleanup day. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated when he met with them a few weeks ago, Ralph Kempf had discussed the fact that they <br />would like a cleanup day for Navarre. Gaffron indicated he was told that Orono would not have any <br />resources to hold a separate one in Navarre but that the Navarre residents are welcome to bring their items <br />to Orono on their cleanup day. <br /> <br />Levang asked if that item should be included on the agenda. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated Ralph Kempf would be able to bring that item up during the NCI comment section of <br />the meeting. <br /> <br />McMillan commented she has had an opportunity to walk some of the sidewalks in Navarre and for the <br />most part they appear to be in pretty good shape. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated the sidewalks on the north side also appear to be in good shape but that he has not had a <br />chance to walk the sidewalks on the south side. <br /> <br />Levang asked if Staff has any clue on how much activity there has been on the Navarre section of the <br />website. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated he will speak with the City Clerk to see if that can be determined. <br /> <br />Printup noted the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has grant opportunities available through May 31 <br />for public and private properties and that that perhaps is something that the Navarre Community Initiative <br />could look into. <br /> <br />Gaffron stated Staff can look into that to see what opportunities are available. <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER’S REPORT <br /> <br />*7. AUTHORIZATION TO PURCHASE NEW SKIDSTEER LOADER AND <br />SNOWBLOWER <br /> <br />Printup moved, Levang seconded, to approve the purchase of a skidsteer loader and snowblower <br />from Lano Equipment in the amount of $31,257.15.
