MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, April 8, 2013 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />   Page 20 of 21   <br />14. LONG LAKE FUNDING REQUEST <br /> <br />Loftus noted the City received a $500 funding request from Long Lake Mayor Tim Hulmann to assist in <br />the removal of carp from Long Lake, which has been completed. Long Lake believes the removal of the <br />carp improves the water quality for the lake and in their estimation they removed approximately 40,000 <br />pounds of carp. <br /> <br />McMillan commented they believe 200,000 pounds of carp might be in there. <br /> <br />Loftus noted this item was not budgeted and that there was some question about whether this would occur <br />on a yearly basis. <br /> <br />McMillan stated to her belief they originally felt there would be no cost since the processing company <br />would make up the costs by selling the carp but the price of carp has fallen. <br /> <br />Loftus stated if this request is approved, she would advise Long Lake that it is a one-time payment unless <br />Orono is asked to be part of a long-term project. Loftus stated there is some thought that the removal of <br />the carp improves the water quality. <br /> <br />Struve indicated there is some debate on whether the removal of the carp will improve the water quality <br />and that the studies are inconclusive at this time. <br /> <br />Levang stated if this is an ongoing issue, she would like to be informed of the project before it is done <br />rather than finding out about it after the fact. Levang stated if it is shown that the water quality is <br />improved, she would be willing to partner in the future with Long Lake. <br /> <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to approve payment of $500 to the City of Long Lake to pay for <br />carp harvesting and that the City continue to partner with Long Lake in the carp harvest provided <br />advance notice is given. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br />Loftus noted the May 28th Council meeting is a Tuesday since it falls after a Memorial Day holiday. <br /> <br />*15. HAZARDOUS BUILDING ACTION AT 3320 NAVARRE LANE – RESOLUTION NO. <br />6215 <br /> <br />Levang moved, Anderson seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6215, a Resolution Ordering <br />Abatement of Hazardous Building located at 3320 Navarre Lane. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT <br /> <br />Mattick stated he had nothing to report. <br /> <br />*16.
