MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 26, 2016 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />MAYORICOUNCIL REPORT (continued) <br />Walsh stated placing it on the agenda would help keep it moving forward. <br />McMillan stated she understands about getting the process going but that she is cognizant of the need for <br />the City Administrator and Staff to have time to research some of this. McMillan stated she is fine with <br />mentioning it during the Mayor/Council Report and directing staff to do something, but that she would <br />like to avoid motions being made during the Mayor/Council Report. <br />Walsh stated things get mentioned but then they get kicked down the can sometimes 12 months later. <br />McMillan stated some of it is about building consensus on the City Council and that she did not get a <br />phone call about it. <br />Walsh stated he just found out about it today and that the Mayor can either vote aye or nay on the motion. <br />McMillan stated she does not want to turn the mayor/council report into a bunch of motions. McMillan <br />stated she would prefer he speak to Jessica about it and she can report back to the Council. McMillan <br />stated she is asking Council Member Walsh to be more cognizant of Staff and the other council members <br />about something that came out of the blue and wanting to make it a formal agenda item. <br />Walsh stated he appreciates the Mayor's concern on that but that there have been a number of items that <br />have not been put on the agenda. Walsh stated this is the only way it gets on the agenda. <br />McMillan stated that is not necessarily true. McMillan noted Council Members Walsh and Printup are on <br />the Fire Advisory Board and that she does mind him bringing it up and saying the Council should <br />consider it but that forcing something to a vote is getting tedious. <br />Walsh commented it seems like an obvious thing and that they can either vote aye or nay on it. <br />McMillan stated it may be obvious to Council Member Walsh but that it may not be obvious to everyone <br />else. McMillan stated she is asking for him to wait out of respect for the rest of the Council and that <br />immediately bringing it to the Council for a vote does not show respect for the other council members <br />who might want to think about it. <br />Walsh stated that is how it gets on the agenda and that is how it gets talked about. Walsh commented he <br />can provide examples of other items that were brought up and not placed on the agenda. <br />McMillan stated that is not true. <br />Cornick stated he would like to see some indication or documentation so there are no communication <br />issues that Sheriff Stanek agrees with this. <br />Walsh noted Police Chief Farniok is here and he can talk about it. <br />Cornick stated he would like to see some documentation from Sheriff Stanek to avoid any communication <br />issues or conditions that he might be proposing. <br />Page 21 of 26 <br />
