VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />Printup stated he has gotten some positive feedback regarding the blast e-mail crime alerts. Printup stated <br />he is aware of two other local communities that have a similar program. Printup commented the more <br />vigilance there is and the more eyes that are looking out for questionable activity is a benefit for the entire <br />community and reassures people that it is okay to call 911. <br /> <br />Printup noted the Long Lake Fire Department is having an open house next weekend. <br /> <br />Printup thanked Staff for arranging the Crystal Bay Park dedication. <br /> <br />Franchot reported the LMCC had a very useful meeting with various city representatives relating to the <br />needs assessment. Mike Gaffron was able to attend the meeting for Orono. The meeting is available on <br />DVD and he indicated he would arrange to have copies sent to the City and each of the council members. <br /> <br />McMillan noted the fall newsletter will be coming out in the next week or so and that it will contain the <br />new city logo. The designer of the logo has been asked to attend the December 10th Council meeting so <br />he can be formally recognized. McMillan noted she sent him a copy of the text that will appear in <br />Orono’s newsletter. <br /> <br />McMillan reported she received an e-mail from a resident on Shadywood Road that lives close to the <br />Klinglehutz property. McMillan indicated that project was approved approximately a year ago and that <br />the neighbor was worried about the brush pile on the property. The developer has indicated that will be <br />removed by the end of the month. <br /> <br />Curtis stated a letter has been sent to the property owner asking them to remove the brush. <br /> <br />McMillan asked when developers are undercapitalized, what recourse the City has if certain work has to <br />be performed by the City. <br /> <br />Mattick stated funding was an issue with the property and that the City was not able to obtain a letter of <br />credit. Staff did work out an alternate security agreement which gives the City access to their financing if <br />necessary to secure the improvements. Mattick stated to his understanding the City did not release the <br />mylar. <br /> <br />Gaffron noted their approvals expired some time ago. Staff did ask them what their intent was with the <br />clear cutting and the developer had indicated they would not be doing any further work. Staff has not <br />heard anything from them since then. <br /> <br />Mattick stated they do not have the right to do anything on the property since their approvals have <br />expired. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 10/22/2012 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 10/08/2012 [Page 16 of 21]
