HENNEPIN COUNTY UPDATE FROM COMMISSIONER JAN CALLISON <br /> <br />Jan Callison provided the City Council with an update on the activities of the Hennepin County Board of <br />Commissioners. <br /> <br />Callison reported that over the past 10 years, Orono’s population has declined 1.3 percent, which is fairly <br />consistent with the other cities in the 6th District. The state will be redistricting in 2012 and the 6th <br />District will be getting slightly larger. Currently there are 14 cities within the 6th District. Orono's <br />median household and median family income are slightly down for 2010. <br /> <br />Callison thanked the City of Orono for being one of the host cities for the medicine collection drive held <br />on October 8, which was a success. This was the eighth time such an event was held and 5,500 pounds <br />were collected of various types of medications. 1,300 pounds of that consisted of controlled substances. <br />Orono averaged 2.65 pounds per participant. <br />Item #03 - CC Agenda - 12/12/2011 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 11/28/2011 <br />[Page 1 of 16]
