MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, September 26, 2016 7:00 o'clock p.m. MAYORICOUNCIL REPORT (continued) Printup indicated he is in agreement with both Council Member Cornick and Council Member Walsh. Printup stated the motion is intended to help direct Staff. Cornick commented it is putting the cart before the horse. Loftus stated the ordinance was approved with an application the Sheriff submitted to the City, and that in her view if the Sheriff wants that change, he should put the request in writing. Walsh stated what he is hearing is Fire Chief Van Eyll will talk to Sheriff Stanek and get some confirmation of the proposal and then it will be placed on the agenda. Loftus asked if the Fire Advisory Board should discuss it. McMillan stated the Fire Advisory Board should also be approached about it. McMillan stated to put it on the agenda for the next meeting is not fair to all the parties. Printup stated it is similar to the sex offender ordinance, which was dealt with at Staff's earliest convenience. Printup stated this is not that complicated and that it is directing Staff to compile the information. Printup commented it could be in two weeks or else he is open with the time frame. McMillan asked when the next Fire Advisory Board meeting is. Fire Chief Van Eyll stated there is not one scheduled currently but that typically there is one at the end of October, early November. McMillan suggested talking it over with the Fire Advisory Board first and obtaining some recommendations from them prior to this being put on the City Council agenda. McMillan requested Council Member Walsh be fair to everyone involved. Printup stated he is fine with it being on the October work session agenda but that he would like to see the discussion get started. McMillan commented the Council is a team and that everyone has issues they want to deal with right away. McMillan stated the individual council members need to show respect to everyone on the Council as well as Staff and not do what they want to do right away. McMillan stated the Council needs to communicate and talk to each other about what they would like to do, which does not mean that someone has to drop what they are doing in order to bring it back in two weeks. Walsh stated he appreciates that. McMillan noted the Council has spent a fair amount of time this year discussing issues raised by Council Members Printup and Walsh, and that out of fairness they need to step back a little bit and look at what works the best.
