MINUTES OF THE
ORONO CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
Monday,July 8, 2013
5:30 p.m.
Present: Mayor Lili McMillan, Council Members Kristi Anderson, Cynthia Bremer, Lizz Levang and
Aaron Printup; representing Staff were City Administrator Jessica Loftus, and Police Chief
Correy Farniok.
Police Chief Correy Farniok showed the triathlon route requested for the third week in August 2014 by
Hits Triathlon Series from New York. He reported the City of Wayzata has approved the use of their
beach but the majority of the bike and run would be in Orono. It was noted this event would be a timed
race which requires closed streets. Discussion ensued on whether there are any positive impacts for
Orono residents with the event coming through our city. Others commented that it appears this level of
race would shut down our city for a day and a half and uses too many resources. The consensus of the
Council was it would be better to keep this entire event in Wayzata.
Farniok also discussed a request from the City of Mound to provide CSO services. The Council was
comfortable with pursing a contract provided an "out clause" was included.
Steve Kleineman, SKD Architects, presented the Police Remodel and Expansion Study. He reported on
the space needs analysis for the existing space and presented schematic options for consideration. The
City Council was generally positive about the findings and requested the topic be brought back for more
discussion at a future work session.
There were no comments regarding Information Update items.
The meeting closed at 6:50 p.m.
