ORONO CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
Monday,September 23, 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, Police Chief Correy
Farniok, and Finance Director Ron Olson.
Chief Farniok provided an update on several items including a Social Host Ordinance, Administrative
Citations, and a possible fee change related to Police Reserves. Mayor McMillan suggested studying the
Social Host ordinance again at a work session to provide information on what other cities are doing.
Steve Kleineman from SKD Architects and Police Chief Farniok presented information on the police
building project. Discussion ensued regarding the space needs study, project phasing, and bonding for
the project. The consensus of the Council was to pursue plans and specifications for the project to be
ready to bid in January and to develop options to cut costs (including to explore whether the Public
Works Department could help with construction - it was determined they can help with some
demolition removal and hauling that may have a minimal impact on costs).
At the September 9ih meeting, Councilmember Printup requested time at this work session to discuss
the human service line item in the budget. The consensus was to reduce the Gillespie Center
contribution by 50% in 2015 and to utilize that money in parks. Printup suggested looking at the ice
skating rinks in the City and studying whether a rink at Crystal Bay Park would be beneficial.
The meeting closed at 6:45 p.m.
