. ' w Page 5 Louncil Agenda - June 11, I974 24. You have a report in your packet from the Chief of Police in regard to a meeting which he had in Spring Park concerning Lord Fletcher' s July Fourth activities. It appears that Srping Park appreciates the problem that we have and is sensitive to it, or at least its sensitive enough to it to begin thinking of how they can pay Orono for the use of its policemen and eguipment that does get used on that day due to the overflow of parking from Lord Fletchers. There is another meeting being conducted on this very issue next week and I hope that at the Council meeting I will have additional information for you. The problem we have is that regardless of what Spring Park may be willing to pay for the use of off-duty policemen and/or auxilary policepeople, we our- selves do not have a lot of manpower to spread around. There are some of us who would like to take the Fourth of July off as a holiday as well. Anyway, we are still trying to iron this problem out to see what can be done. 25. At the Council meeting last week, the Minutes of, the previous meeting were approved and the statement on the Di Con plat needs to be amended before the County will a�ccept it for filing. This is an error on my part for the motion read that the Council approved the Di Con plat. I need an amendment from the Council to say that the Council approved the final plat of the Di Con Addition. The County will only accept the file when a copy of the minutes which says Di Con Addition is recieved by them. 26. At the Council meeting last month, the Council made a motion to adopt the odd-year election system. In talking to Bruce Malkerson this week, he has stated that the law requires that to be done by ordinance. I have instructed the attorney to draw up the necessary ordinance and your Minutes will reflect that a motion made by the Council last week states that instructions were given to the attorney to draw up the proper ordinance. 28. The City Engineer will give a report on the status of the IDS property project. I am not exactly certain at this time what his report will consist of but I believe that he will report that IDS is moving along with its stormwater proposal and that the problem �iwt they are having now is contacting people at the FWBI 'to have a meeting in regard to an easement that is necessary on their property to be obtained in order for the storm water proposal to be completed. The engineer has informed me that an individual at the FWBI said �t he would get around to considering the easement when he had time and as a result ai.�, I feel that an undue delay has been caused in this project as a result of that attitude. If this delay continues into next week, I feel we should ask the Mayor to intervene and push this meeting along so � we can finalize IDS one way or the other.
