VOTE: <br />Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator Kiedrowski noted he has begun the process of compiling a list of items that <br />should be addressed this summer and that he welcomes the opportunity to work for the City of Orono. <br /> <br />CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT <br /> <br />Mattick reported on the issue relating to state aid, noting that Kevin Hoglund of Bonestroo attended <br />the subcommittee meeting of the screening board. The subcommittee indicated they do not like the <br />classification of private streets given by the City to certain streets and that they do not like the fact that <br />the City does not maintain those streets. Mattick stated it would be the subcommittee’s <br />recommendation that the City should receive the current levels of funding at this time, will not be <br />assessed a fine, but that the City should assume maintenance responsibility of those streets. <br /> <br />Murphy asked who would be defining the word maintenance. <br /> <br />Mattick stated it is his understanding the City would need to assume a level of maintenance <br />responsibility similar to what is being done on non-private streets. <br /> <br />Murphy asked why this issue is being limited to just the City of Orono and not state-wide. <br /> <br />Mattick noted that item was discussed and that the engineer for the City of Minnetonka indicated that <br />they do not count the private roads within their state aid calculation. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />PAGE 7 of 9 <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 05/12/08 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 04/28/08 [Page 7 of 9]
