MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, April 8, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 19 of 21 MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT Levang noted they have had several franchise meetings regarding cable service and that they are proceeding in a timely fashion. Levang stated she would like to publicly thank Rachel Dodge for her first issue of the City’s newsletter and that she felt good about what was published. Levang noted there were some issues with working with the vendor but that she feels good about the final product. Printup noted he worked with Jessica Loftus on saving some paper by not having to photocopy all the documents included in the City Council packets and that he informed her of the items he could review on line. McMillan noted the Long Lake Pancake Breakfast is scheduled for this Sunday from 8:00 to 1:00. McMillan stated they will have an update on the cable franchise at the next Council work session. While the City Council has already approved the space planning study, McMillan stated she would like to mention that there are some HVAC problems in city hall as well and that perhaps the City could piggyback on that project. McMillan recommended Staff look at that. Loftus noted that is part of the proposal for the space study. Loftus indicated she did discuss with Police Chief Farniok that the City could perhaps share some of the costs for the study. The City Hall building is currently 20 years old and is in very good condition but there are currently 14 residential air conditioners cooling the building and a number of electrical panels. McMillan commented the Navarre Initiative meeting went well tonight and that the Council needs to determine which street lights they would like to go with. McMillan recommended they continue to work on the street lights and develop a plan of action prior to June. CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT *11.
