The contractor still expects to complete the project by the end of the week. <br /> <br />As it relates to the Orono Orchard Road project, the contractor is still finishing up some of the minor <br />restorations in the area north of Fox Street. That work should also be completed relatively soon. Due to <br />the lack of rain, sod conditions in the field are poor. The contractor has requested that they be allowed to <br />place seed this fall rather than sod. If the seed does not grow next summer, they will replace it with sod <br />next fall at no additional cost. Struve noted there are some people with irrigation systems close to the <br />road that may have been damaged but those systems will be repaired. If the system has already been shut <br />down for the season, they will be repaired next spring. <br /> <br /> <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br /> <br />McMillan thanked City Clerk Lin Vee for her work on putting together the City’s recycling contract. <br /> <br />McMillan noted she has also received a number of e-mails about the Council considering the banning of <br />roosters. McMillan recommended that Staff put something on the City’s website on the action taken by <br />the City Council on that item. <br /> <br />Gaffron indicated he would follow up with a website update. <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 11/13/2012 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 10/22/2012 <br />[Page 4 of 7]
