Walsh stated they would hold a public hearing regarding the Orono Police Department consideration of the purchase of body-worn cameras for the Police Officers. The City is providing an opportunity for the public to comment on this subject. Walsh opened the public hearing at 6:07 p.m. Staff noted they received two emails notifying that they could not attend in person. Angela Hennessey wrote to support the police department in purchasing body cameras and thinks they are a necessity in our times for the protection of citizens and officers; she is surprised they do not have them already. Another email is from Pat Hennessey,who is strongly in favor of the police department wearing body cameras and feels they should already have been wearing them. He asked the Council to do what needs to be done ASAP to get cameras on the police. Walsh asked if anyone was present who would like to make a public comment and asked them to approach the podium and state their name and address for the record. Seeing none, Walsh closed the public hearing at 6:08 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING The Orono Police Department is considering the purchase of Body Worn Cameras for the police officer and is providing an opportunity for public to comment on this topic Walsh opened the public hearing at 6:07 p.m. Police Chief Correy Farniok noted that there may not be anyone in the public audience tonight but we did receive two emails providing public comment on Body Worn Cameras. One email was received from Angela Hennessey indicating support of the Police department to purchase body worn cameras and that she thinks they are important to the safety especially in times like these and she is surprised that our department does not have them already. The other email is from Pat Hennessey also indicating support for body worn Page 2 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. PUBLIC HEARING—Continued cameras and he too was surprised the department did not already have them also he would like to see the city get them ASAP. Walsh closed the Public Hearing at 6:08 p.m. PUBLIC COMMENTS Richie Anderson,3205 Crystal Bay Road,wants to thank the Council for his appointment again to the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District(LMCD) and noted he has put his name in for Treasurer. He has some ideas on how to go forward and the Council will be his guinea pigs. Walsh thanked Mr.Anderson for all his time and effort in working on that and said the Council appreciate it. PRESENTATION Swearing in of Junior Cadets Mayor Walsh read the oath for Ashley Gabrielsen and Matthew Condon I,Ashley and Matthew do solemnly swear under oath that I will support and work with the City of Orono and the Orono Police Department, that I will follow the direction of its employees and support the duties of the office of Police Cadet in the City of Orono, in the County of Hennepin, to the best of my judgment and ability, so help me God. Ashley Gabrielsen and Matthew Condon both said"I Do." Walsh congratulated them both. Police Chief Correy Farniok asked Alex Oladoyin,one of the team coaches and organizers,to explain what the Growth Through Opportunity(GTO)program is.He noted this is the second year of the GTO program, they have had great success with it and hope to continue it in the future. Ms. Oladoyin stated she used to work for Orono and that is when the police partnership started. She noted GTO stands for Growth Through Opportunity and is a partnership between community members and the police force. The intention of the program is for participants to gain public safety experience,and also job experience and resume building; it also allows the Police Department to learn more about working with members of the community who have disabilities. It has been a really awesome partnership so far and they had two clients in the program last summer and are very excited to do it again. Ms. Oladoyin owns a company called Empower Inclusion and Paul, one of her employees will be job coaching and hanging out with Matthew and Ashley. 8. ADOPT STATE OF MINNESOTA JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS WITH THE CITY OF ORONO ON BEHALF OF ITS CITY ATTORNEY AND POLICE DEPARTMENT Police Chief Farniok said this is a five-year renewal to continue a Joint Power Agreement(JPA)as well as a Court Data Services amendment to the CJD End Subscriber Agreement,and the Resolution adopting this. He noted this is a formality,it is to allow the City to access the Criminal Bureau of Apprehension data Page 3 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. 8. ADOPT STATE OF MINNESOTA JOINT POWERS AGREEMENTS WITH THE CITY OF ORONO ON BEHALF OF ITS CITY ATTORNEY AND POLICE DEPARTMENT—Continued services and also to allow the Prosecuting Attorney Steve Tallen to access those records for court purposes. The agreement is very similar to what was passed five years ago with just minor changes but it is no different than what other cities across Minnesota are doing. Crosby asked if there are any significant changes in this agreement compared to the old one. Chief Farniok said it is continuing and the only change is if they were ever to change the Prosecuting Attorney from Steve Tallen to a different firm, they would most likely need to pass another Resolution accepting that. Johnson moved,Seals seconded,to adopt the State Of Minnesota Joint Powers Agreements With The City Of Orono.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT 12. INTERIM BUILDING SERVICES Barnhart said the Building Services Committee is working through the review of the responses received to the Building Services Request for Proposal (RFP); they have received three RFPs and the Committee is reviewing those right now. He is asking for authorization for the Committee to choose the interim Building Official and interim Building Inspector without having to come back to the City Council. He has provided the information regarding anticipated interim costs.When the Building Official and Building Inspector job posting closes in early February, the same Committee will likely be interviewing the candidates and will provide recommendation to the City Council. Walsh noted one RFP was from out of state,and another was MNSPECT who have 18 cities or more nearby and they have higher standard for technology. He clarified they did not ordinarily work under an hourly wage, but rather a percentage of fee, but because Orono's values are so much different it did not make sense. The City essentially rejected the proposals and asked them to come back with an hourly proposal, which they have done. Walsh and Johnson spoke about it and Johnson was going to talk to MNSPECT and negotiate a bit on the fees as this is new for the City,as well. Once the City receives that feedback they can march this forward and get it in place.At that point they can start to figure out what they will hire internally, whether it is a Chief Inspector or just an Inspector;or a Chief Inspector and an Inspector,as the City roughly spends approximately $215,000 per year. Walsh said they could easily employ two people and perhaps handle it all themselves,but even if they have that they will need back up if someone is on vacation or they get overloaded. Johnson said in the search there are good,viable candidates for the City and that is good news. He said the fine-tuning should be wrapped up by the end of the week and they just need Council permission to make that commitment on behalf of the Council so they do not have to wait to get it done. Barnhart clarified he is asking for authorization for the interim contract or interim agreement. Seals moved,Crosby seconded,to authorize the Committee to hire a contractor on behalf of the City Council.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. Page 4 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. 13. LA20-75 — BRIAN HUISMAN, SALE OF A PORTION OF LAND ADJACENT TO 1121 NORTH ARM DRIVE Barnhart clarified the Council saw this last June and at that time it was a request for a boundary line adjustment because there is some land in the middle of the lake. He said the exhibit is what he provided in June and there is also an attached survey;the survey shows the City actually owns some land, landward of the ordinary high water line and they cannot just give that land away,they must sell it as it is an asset for the City. The property owner came back with a proposal to buy it for$100 which is the value the County has put on the land two lots to the north as it is about the same amount of land,although it is a much bigger parcel because 7/8ths of it is in the lake. That is how the property owner arrived at the fair market value which seems reasonable. Walsh said back in June the Council said it sounded completely reasonable,whatever the fair price was but the property owner also had to pay the costs. He clarified they are just bringing back the value at this point. Johnson said that is the one component he wonders about;personally he does not think they can do a straight vacation of this,so the City Attorney wants there to be a sale. Walsh said it is because there is nothing to vacate,it is actually owned land. Johnson said the Applicant's methodology of$100 is based on the County's assessment to a property that is ultimately non-taxable. Johnson thinks there will be more of these in this bay as they want to get things cleaned up, and he would like to see the Council avoid the value component and when it is just a straight "land that is in the way," it usually conveys as a dollar. He would like to think about standardizing this when they see these chunks that make no sense so when someone else comes before the Council they do not get into the debate of value. Walsh thinks that is a good point,especially if it is just a true"clean up." Johnson noted the caveat is that the Applicant incurs all of the expenses from generating the new legal description,the exhibit,the City's legal review,etcetera. If the Applicant is doing all that,what is traditional in his real estate business is that just conveys at a dollar,they are not getting into a value. Walsh said it is like a quick claim issue and he is good with that methodology as well. Crosby said it makes sense. Printup noted there could be more of these in that area, and so that it does not translate into the right-of- ways,the fire lanes,where people all of a sudden hear this and it turns into an assumption. Johnson asked if they could define this in a bucket as to what they are trying to do here. Printup stated word will travel fast, and he does not want it to become an assumption. Barnhart noted the Council will see both sides of that coin going forward because the adjacent property owner is going through the vacation process for the adjacent alleyway. He clarified there is a distinction between platted right-of-way or easements and land. He thinks they can easily make that distinction. Attorney Conklin said an easement vacation or right-of-way vacation is very different and they typically would not be seeking compensation for that. However,for parcels of land like this that the City is just Page 5 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. 13. LA20-75 — BRIAN HUISMAN, SALE OF A PORTION OF LAND ADJACENT TO 1121 NORTH ARM DRIVE—Continued conveying as part of a clean-up process,it would not be an issue in assigning a minimal amount of value to it and asking the applicant to pick up the costs. Johnson asked if they want to keep it at$100. Walsh has no problem with$1.00 as that would be the standard for these types of situations. Johnson said there is no value so the City is conveying the land. Crosby agrees that$1.00 is correct. Barnhart clarified the motion would be to accept the offer with a counter-offer of$1.00. He noted he would continue the formal process to sale,the Attorney will do the work, and the City will hold a public hearing in February and the Council will get it back in March. Johnson moved, Crosby seconded to accept the offer with a counter-offer of 51.00. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORTS 14.Discuss Interim City Administrator Compensation Seals said in looking back whenever Staff had stepped into a role for another employee,they have always had some kind of interim compensation. What the City quickly realized is that it is written into their union contracts. Walsh clarified it is not for direct reports or department heads. Seals said currently the City Administrator position is compensated at a Grade 19 Step 6 and she proposed that they compensate the interim position at a Grade 19 Step 4; it ends up being about $10,000/year and would be prorated depending on how fast the City can fill that position. Based on what the City has spent historically,she thinks it is a pretty minimal. Walsh said it makes complete sense as someone is stepping into a role, doing additional duties,and they should be compensated for that. They already looked at what the code says and it is completely appropriate to step into this. Seals moved,Johnson seconded,to approve the temporary compensation increase for Ronald Olson while he acts as interim City Administrator from a Grade 16 Step 7($114,005)to a Grade 19 Step 4 which is$125,272.94). VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. Walsh asked the Councilmembers for their reports. Johnson congratulated the team but otherwise had nothing to report. Crosby had a wonderful Christmas with family and hopes everyone did. He looks forward to good work ahead of them. Page 6 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORTS—Continued Printup echoed congratulations to Walsh, Seals,and Crosby. Seals welcomed everyone back, noting restaurants are back open and she is excited for that. She shared that her team is based around the country and she has one employee who has been traveling all over the south for four months without getting COVID-19; in the end,he contracted COVID-19 by hanging out with his family. She stated some of the things they are doing just does not make sense, for example closing schools. She shakes her head because it is not bounded in logic. She hopes schools open soon and stay open. Johnson added that people are using the trails and it is nice to see that. The Luce Line is not plowed and the difference of activity level is enormous,but it gets cross-country skiers. He noted over by Stubbs Bay they paved it and the amount of snowmobile trailers has increased and people are actually using it. Seals said at Bederwood,and she is not complaining,kids had taken their parents Gaters and had tow-ropes with skis and snowboards. It was very entertaining to see it being used. Johnson said the other activity Orono is providing is the golf course. He said the place was packed and thought about talking to Public Works about plowing the entrance to the golf course because the golf course parking lot does not get plowed. He said everyone was parked along the road which is not good as it is not a wide road;he saw a citizen with their own plow open it up for everyone. Walsh noted there were cars a couple of weeks ago that were stuck in the parking lot and helping each other out. Crosby suggested getting that on the list. Walsh said he was at the last Parks Commission work session and one item that came up was the golf course and perhaps getting some lighting at night because it is so packed and gets dark at 4:00 p.m. in December. Seals noted Medina actually has a snowmaker, so if they need snow on the hill that is dirt now,they could talk to them. The Council discussed the various areas around the City where the public has been having outdoor fun and recreation. Seals said she heard again over the weekend,it keeps coming up,why the City's rates went up. After she explained,they said"it sucks,but I get it." She thinks they still need to push more communication out on that; she said what was missing in the letter that just went out was that it did not mention anything about the Metropolitan Council.Instead Orono took the hit on everything as it looks like the City raised the rates. Printup said the newspaper press release did,but the letter that went to homes did not. Johnson noted it was not on letterhead,either. Olson asked to clarify that it was not on letterhead and apologized. Walsh said they better back down to Step 6 and the Councilmembers laughed. Page 7 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORTS—Continued Johnson said the Council should talk about the sewer inspection, he sent two clients through beforehand and had one go through the City(the City did the inspection),and the other did a private party. He said if people do not want the City going in to their house they can hire their own person. He stated it is important to get that data to the City,as they need the video to watch it and approve if it is okay or not. He said Staff is working with the IT Department to see if they could create a portal to upload the videos as email does not work because the files are too big. Seals asked if they have tried WeTransfer as it is free. Johnson said they are open to all safe options. He noted they ended up putting it on YouTube so the City could watch it. The process online and application is good,but he cautioned that word is not out yet, and there will be last minute things—he just received a call from a realtor today who did not know about the sewer inspection process. Olson stated"IT Dave"as the Staff calls him was discussing this the previous week and Olson believes he had checked out WeTransfer and was double-checking to make sure it is an acceptable platform. He hopes they will have that done quickly and carefully as they are uploading a video file into the City's network. Printup likes the trial runs they did. Johnson said it is interesting because they have done approximately 10 of them. Seals asked about the results and if they are finding problems. Johnson said it is 0-for-2 on his;he noted part of what they are trying to prove to the Met Council is whether they are really right in what they are charging Orono. Seals wondered that,also, if there are really problems or not. Johnson thinks in a dozen they have done,there was one that needed some correction. Olson said ironically,he was told it was the very first one. Walsh noted there will always be hiccups or glitches that they must solve and at least they are relatively easy to solve and getting through the process helped them figure things out. He said as they were speaking of restaurants being open, he went to Redstone which is near his office in Maple Grove and the waitress said he was the first person to sit at the bar and order in three months and noted it was nice to see someone eating at the bar. Walsh reported it was great to eat somewhere other than his desk. CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT 15.UPDATE ON PURCHASE OF PROPERTY ON OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD Walsh noted the City owns it and he wants to talk about the second phase. He wants to get organized with Edwards to get whatever they need to get done and get the bids to bring sewer and water out there. He said at that point they would have marketable land no matter what happens;when they approve the bids the next step will be to get some architectural services to design a general building framework to find out where Page 8 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. 15. UPDATE ON PURCHASE OF PROPERTY ON OLD CRYSTAL BAY ROAD—Continued they stand. Obviously Public Works needs to do something and that is either now or when this Council is gone but something needs to be done either way. Printup asked if there is any action they need to take. Walsh said no,this is just telling them to get whatever they need drawn up so they can go get the bids. Olson does not know if they caught it in the memo,but Barnhart has contacted the Met Council and Orono will need to do a Comprehensive Plan amendment because that parcel is not within the Metropolitan Urban Services Area(MUSA). Johnson stated they will need to rezone that. Olson said they may need to rezone it and Barnhart was going to check,as it appears that there may be an exception for public buildings under current zoning. Walsh said they could change it to"institutional,"noting they added that in the last Comprehensive Plan. Olson noted that would also make sense if they put sewer and water out there and have a marketable lot no matter what. Then the zoning would fit for that. 16. AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT DONATION OF DENNIS WALSH AND RICHARD F. CROSBY II Walsh clarified this was in lieu of the City forgiving former City Administrator Dustin Rief of his $3,500 in moving expenses. Walsh and Crosby decided they would like to pitch in for that as they thought it was the right thing to do for Rief's years of service in Orono; especially knowing that Rief had family issues come up and he must uproot his family and move back to Nebraska. Walsh moved,Crosby seconded,to accept the donation of Dennis Walsh and Richard F. Crosby II in lieu of Dustin Rief s reimbursement of moving expenses to the City.VOTE: Ayes 5,Nays 0. Walsh asked if there is anything else anyone wanted to talk about before adjournment. Printup noted they have passionate people in Orono and he received a concern on Tonkawa Road,there is signage popping up and being taken down,popping up again. He does not know if City Staff needs to go look at it,noting it is political signage,therefore one person likes it and another does not so it becomes a game. Printup said he would bring it up at the City Council meeting and look at if it was too close to the road,but told the concerned party they would look at specifics. Seals said it is tough on Tonkawa as it is a narrow road. Printup stated it has been an issue in the past and wants to throw the caution out there that people need to, perhaps chill out. Seals said maybe they should leave people's stuff on their lots alone. Printup said exactly but if it is too close to the road,the complaints come in and he does not know how Staff wants to handle it. Page 9 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. Crosby asked if it is blocking sightlines or anything like that. Printup does not know but asked what the code says. Crosby said if it is not blocking sightlines,just leave it alone. Printup does not know if that is the message that needs to be put out. Walsh stated he was at the work session for the Parks Commission and getting everyone reinvigorated on all the parks and things they would like to do. He knows that Commissioner Hudson is very excited about trying to do new things in Crystal Bay as he is coming from a standpoint where if there is open air sitting there,they should start making use of it before someone else decides what to do there and then there is something there the City does not want. Therefore he brought up equipment for older kids, a bigger basketball court,and all kinds of things because people are using that. Walsh knows there have been some long-term issues at the post office where there is not a lot of parking and the people using the trails are filling up the parking lot and the postal person cannot even get in there,and also saw a woman running across and almost get hit by a car. Printup noted that is why Three Rivers does not like people the crossing the road. Walsh said they have had some of those issues and if they expand the basketball court more people will come and need places to park. He asked how they patrol it from those who are using the trails. He noted Printup brought up the man who lives next door and is perhaps somewhat of a hermit,and at some point may want to get his house also,to expand part of the parking lot. Walsh said this is just food for thought as Commissioner Hudson was thoughtful in talking about some of the things he'd like to do over there. He noted everyone has great thoughts about all the parks with everything else going on. Printup added in regards to the park equipment,he sent Walsh a photo from many years ago(10-12 years),of the brand new equipment. Walsh noted there is not any other"big kids"equipment and there is so much land there,there are plenty of things they could do to use that. Seals asked if they confirmed that Minnetonka Beach was offered a large sum,perhaps$150,000(don't quote her), donated to improving their park. The last time she heard,they were not going to accept it, so Orono was going to reach out and see if they could find out who was willing to donate it. Walsh clarified that was related to someone who died and wanted the park named after their late husband. Minnetonka Beach decided they did not want to get into naming parks after people because of a donation and he believes that was the contentious issue. He reported is the Planning Commission is doing a great job,they have learned a lot,and Chair Ressler has learned a lot and now his two years are up and Walsh told Ressler he would like to rotate that position every couple of years to give everyone a chance to learn more about how to Chair meetings. Scott Kirchner said he would love to jump in and try to take on that role and many of the Commissioners agreed as he is young and eventually they will need some upward mobility in people that understand the process. Walsh is sharing those conversations as it comes up at the end of March and they will make the recommendations for the new Chair;Ressler does not know if he wants to continue on as a Planning Commissioner and Walsh told him he would really like to see him Page 10 of 12 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday,January 11,2021 6:00 o'clock p.m. continue now that he has learned all this stuff. The older Commissioners would like to get some of the younger guys some more experience in running meetings and learning the language. Johnson asked regarding a gravel spot across from the post office,is that a trail head. Walsh said that is just people running over it and making it a place to park. Johnson wondered if Three Rivers would pay to pave that section. Printup stated years ago they talked about it,and he did not like the idea at the time because then it becomes a trail head or destination. Johnson said it already seems to be. Printup told the Council years ago the thought was to lay down boulders and plant there, but then people just park along the road, as they still do now. He said back then the Navarre municipal parking lot was looked at for an actual trailhead,but there is not a sidewalk. Walsh said the sidewalk should be coming in 2021 or 2022. He noted it is hard to police it because the people are not at their cars. Printup said it is County. Walsh just wanted to bring it up so everyone can think about it and perhaps come up with some ideas, as he said it is known,it is a trailhead whether they want it to be or not. Crosby said getting cars away from the road is important. Walsh agreed and noted the problem is that Crystal Bay does not want the City to start eating into the land in their open area for cars. Printup stated in the past there was a discussion regarding parking stickers;for example,Wayzata residents have parking stickers and if someone outside the City wants a sticker,they pay a fee. This could go for any type of parking in the City,on or off street. Walsh said the post office people are yelling at the police and the police tell them to talk to the City Council. Printup also had a story from years ago;the sidewalk in front of the door was smaller, he thinks the same person was saying the sidewalk needs to be bigger because of plowing. Then the same person said they need different striping in the parking lot so people know how to park. He said they need to be careful when people have concerns and have a"great idea,"sometimes they get what they wish for and they do not like it.
