MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, July 22, 2013 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 9 of 20 (5. DAKOTA TRAIL PARKING AT BAYVIEW PLACE, Continued) Carlson stated he would probably not endorse directing people down to the municipal parking lot unless it was upgraded to a trail type connection. If people are using it and they are comfortable using it, that is a different matter, but that he would prefer not to have that as an endorsed parking location. Carlson indicated he would not be opposed to erecting a sign that says Navarre with a parking glib on it in this area since it would not be specifically endorsing any area. Carlson stated that could be erected fairly quickly if the City is interested in it. Levang moved, Anderson seconded, to immediately and permanently close the Bayview parking area, erect no parking signs as soon as possible, and request that Three Rivers Park District update the signage in this area to indicate that there is parking in Navarre, and to direct Staff to work with Hennepin County to remove the gravel and restore the area to its natural state. Carlson indicated Three Rivers Park District would be willing to work with the City on restoring that area if the materials and resources are available. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. *6. PAY REQUEST NO. 1 – WILLOW DRIVE RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT Bremer moved, Levang seconded, to approve Pay Request No. 1 for the contractor C.S. McCrossan in the amount of $96,512.97 for the Willow Drive Reconstruction Project. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. *7. REPLACEMENT OF PORTABLE GENERATOR Bremer moved, Levang seconded, to accept the quote from Interstate Power Systems in the amount of $36,898.59 for the replacement of a portable generator. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. *8. GREEN TREES ROAD SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION Bremer moved, Levang seconded, to approve Bolton and Menk to perform a feasibility study for extending sanitary sewer on to Green Trees Road. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 9. BRUSH DISPOSAL SITE UPDATE Struve noted the City was hit was some severe storms last month, and in an effort to help the residents clean up after the storm, a tree disposal area was designated along McCulley Road in a city-owned parking lot. The site was open for a little over two weeks. At this time the site is approximately 30 to 40 percent full of materials. The Public Works Department is working to get the resources in to remove the debris and get the site opened back up to the public. There has been a request from a council member and some residents to have a permanent tree/brush disposal site in Orono. Struve indicated he did evaluate some other sites within the City and the only reasonable site at this time is the McCulley site. The drawbacks to this site are that it will not be monitored and will not be a secure location. Struve recommended the City secure the site so non Orono residents do not randomly come in and dispose of material.
