MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION Monday, September 23, 2013 5:30 p.m. Present: Mayor Lili McMillan, Council Members Kristi Anderson, Cynthia Bremer, Lizz Levang and Aaron Printup; representing Staff were City Administrator Jessica Loftus, Police Chief Correy Farniok, and Finance Director Ron Olson. Chief Farniok provided an update on several items including a Social Host Ordinance, Administrative Citations, and a possible fee change related to Police Reserves. Mayor McMillan suggested studying the Social Host ordinance again at a work session to provide information on what other cities are doing. Steve Kleineman from SKD Architects and Police Chief Farniok presented information on the police building project. Discussion ensued regarding the space needs study, project phasing, and bonding for the project. The consensus of the Council was to pursue plans and specifications for the project to be ready to bid in January and to develop options to cut costs (including to explore whether the Public Works Department could help with construction ‐ it was determined they can help with some demolition removal and hauling that may have a minimal impact on costs). At the September 9th meeting, Councilmember Printup requested time at this work session to discuss the human service line item in the budget. The consensus was to reduce the Gillespie Center contribution by 50% in 2015 and to utilize that money in parks. Printup suggested looking at the ice skating rinks in the City and studying whether a rink at Crystal Bay Park would be beneficial. The meeting closed at 6:45 p.m. ATTEST: ________________________________________ _______________________________________ Rachel Dodge, City Clerk Lili Tod McMillan, Mayor Item #02 - CC Agenda - 10/14/2013 Approval of Council Work Session Minutes 09/23/2013 [Page 1 of 1]
