PUBLIC COMMENTS
There were no public comments.
Mayor Walsh took a moment to speak about the most recent Planning Commission meeting, noting many
people came and spoke, some very graciously and others throwing out some aspersions and things that
were not true. He clarified the City posts all notices 10 days ahead of time in the paper, people can sign
up on ListServe for notifications, and the final agenda comes out 3-4 days in advance. Mayor Walsh
appreciates the enthusiasm of the people but stated when a person says no one else gets to talk because
they are not in communist Russia it diminishes things that person would say after that. When one aligns
themselves with people who cast aspersions and make things up, such as a person who spoke about Big
Woods and Bederwood…he said they all know that Bederwood was not big woods 50 years ago but was
a field, although it is not as good of a story without piping it up and creating a Go Fund Me page. Mayor
Walsh quoted a saying, “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.” He would say that idle lands are the same
problem, noting Lurton Park was idle land several years ago and the City went to the family who
graciously donated the land and asked if they could create a dog park. The family wanted to see the land
used and gave permission, the City built fences, structures, worked with the neighbors and now it is
probably one of the best dog parks in the suburbs. Mayor Walsh stated that if any Council in the future
wanted to sell land and raise money and revenue, they can sell any of the land the City owns and there is
nothing the current Council can put in place that couldn’t be changed with a vote. He thinks the best park
land that the City has will not be the idle park land. Philosophically, this Council has been very consistent
over the last 7-8 years and they have reconstituted the Park Commission who have done a fabulous job
and have gone through many of the City’s parks to add to them and make them better. Mayor Walsh
explained they just went through a $500,000 renovation at Bederwood Park, redoing fields, adding
lacrosse fields, and noted by definition of those who were here before [at the Planning Commission
meeting] it benefits only a small number of people and the City should not do that. He stated again that
idle lands do not do anyone good and they have always wanted all parks to have as much going on as
possible, with all of the sports, and they would love to have those sports happen within the City rather
than driving to practice in other cities. Mayor Walsh shared that when he and Mr. Printup were on a
previous Council, the late Mr. Dayton had land he was selling to a developer which had a beautiful, open
field area. Mr. Dayton put in his will that he wanted to preserve all the grasslands and Mayor McMillan
wanted to preserve the big woods but not the fields so she allowed a house to be built into the fields.
Mayor Walsh noted the only people who were fighting for the Dayton family at that point were Mayor
Walsh and Mr. Printup and that was because it was in Mr. Dayton’s will. Mayor Walsh asked where was
everyone then? They were nowhere to be found. He noted this was eventually passed and they haven’t
heard a word since. Mayor Walsh clarified the City Council is about taking care of the parks and making
them as useful to as many people as possible. He reiterated that no one is giving away a park and that
everyone deserves to be heard without being disparaged because no one deserves to be told that they do
not have a say. He stated the City Council will always hear everyone and will continue to do so, which is
why all of the people were allowed to be heard at the Planning Commission meeting. He noted they also
received many letters in support of the project and the City Council’s job is to sort it out and do what they
believe is the best thing for the City, especially upon lands that have no restrictions.
Seals noted it was very apparent the previous week that the conversation was being held on social media
and said that is frustrating because many residents were upset by misinformation. She would like to form

a committee to take back the conversation and get some facts out there. She noted the park is City-owned
and the City should come up with a plan for the park. She would like the committee to be comprised of
the Park Commission, Planning Commission, Seals herself as the Park liaison, and Staff to look at
Summit Beach Park and get into the meat-and-potatoes and decide what they want to do. Seals clarified
that the job of the government, at least this City Council, is not to censor people from making requests.
While people did not want to hear the request, Seals thinks it is good that it came out so people can see
what it looks like. She noted if people only rely on social media and Facebook without reaching out to the
City, they will not get the entire story or education on the matter. She does not have a special interest in
Summit Beach Park and noted the community is fortunate to have 24 parks and a lot of acreage to enjoy.
She mentioned Lake View Golf Course, which was not City-owned, was not being used, and is now gone.
The job of the City is to make parks more accessible to more people so they will stay that way.
Crosby would like to have discussion during a work session, noting it is important to get kids out of the
house and the job of this Council is to take the parks, improve upon them, and get people out and using
the parks so that one day they will not be barren land that is consumed by something else. He shared that
the positive things that happen at the park will envelope the negative things. He thinks the Park
Commission have been wonderful and passionate.
Johnson watched the Planning Commission meeting live and thought the conversation was embarrassing
with the clapping and antics and stated that is not how one exchanges ideas and opposite opinions. He
noted when things like this come forward, it is clear that people do not understand the process. He
clarified that nothing was getting pushed through, it was typical notice, then on to the Planning
Commission and City Council and it has not come before either party at this point. In his mind, this does
not deserve a committee because there is not a proposal in front of them as it was just a conversation to
see what the City was interested in doing, including finding ways through public-private partnerships to
make shared spaces more usable; Johnson is a supporter of that concept. He is in favor of people bringing
ideas, giving feedback, involving the public, and seeing where it goes and they do not have to form a
committee every time someone objects to an issue.
Edwards clarified the Park Commission sends out a list of their goals for the year and they finished the
list at the last work session and will vote at the February session. The Commission also establishes sub-
committees to focus on particular issues or parks. He suggested getting the Park Commission at a City
Council work session to share their list and the City Council can then give some guidance and direction.
Printup agrees with getting things back on the rails and having transparency.
Seals moved, Crosby seconded, to create a committee comprised of Councilmember Seals, Park
Commissioner Rick Carter, Park Commission Chair Brian Roath, Planning Commissioner Mark
McCutcheon, and City Administrator Adam Edwards to look into the Summit Beach Park project
objectives, come up with an overarching plan, and bring the results and recommendation back
before the City Council. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

PRESENTATION
14. AUDITOR’S PRESENTATION
Andy Berg from Abdo, Eick, and Meyers introduced the presentation on the 2020 Financial Statement
Audit. He noted it was a clean report and there are no findings to report for the 2020 audit.
Tyler See of Abdo, Eick, and Meyers shared slides on screen showing the General Fund balances, budget-
to-actual, revenues by type, expenditures by type, special revenue fund balances, debt service funds,
capital projects fund balances, internal service funds, water funds, and other funds. Key performance
indicators include Orono’s tax rate which has been steady at about 16% from 2017 to 2020 and was below
average compared with Class 4 cities in Hennepin County. Tax per capita has been in line with other
cities in Hennepin County over the past four years. Mr. See noted debt per capita has been decreasing and
is below the average of other cities the size of Orono within the County. He shared that Orono’s
expenditures per capita and capital expense are a bit above average of other Class 4 cities and the County.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR/ENGINEER REPORT
Edwards had nothing to report.
FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT
Finance Director Olson noted he had his review earlier in the day.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Seals just returned from Virginia and watched the Planning Commission meeting in New York City
which was interesting. She reiterated to the residents of Orono: reach out to the City Council with
questions rather than relying on social media.
Printup shared the Dakota Trail has been extremely busy and that is good to see as people are being
active. He noted regarding the Planning Commission meeting that people get passionate and that is okay
because City government is here to listen.
Crosby agreed with Seals that the public should not get their information from social media. He
encouraged the public if they have questions or concerns to email the City Councilmembers and please
include their phone number so discussions can be had and both sides can be heard. Crosby asked people
to have a full discussion on what the project is and to have better knowledge of it before they blast an
opinion or are afraid of something happening. He clarified the project was not even before the City
Council yet and feels people jumped the gun, although it is great to see people engaged and part of the
process. He noted everyone on the Council knows that they work for all citizens of Orono and will work
to come up with the best ideas and collaborate. He clarified that these parks will not be stagnant places
but will be used and enjoyed by children, as that is the vision.
Johnson thinks the Planning Commission did a good job with the meeting, noting they had a skeleton
crew. He agrees that the City wants the passion and the people, and stated he learned a lot about the
history of the Dayton family and what they were trying to do. He wants all of the information to come

forward but noted they have a choice as to how that information comes forward, which is what he
objected to at the meeting.
Mayor Walsh noted the Planning Commission terms come up in March for the Chair. He noted the
Council has decided over the last few years to give everyone a chance at the role because it is a different
view of things to run the meeting. Seals and Mayor Walsh spoke with Commissioner McCutcheon about
accepting the role of Chair and he is willing to take on the role. Mayor Walsh said current Chair Scott
Kirchner has done a good job and he is looking forward to continuing his time on the Planning
Commission.
Walsh moved, Crosby seconded, to appoint Mark McCutcheon as Planning Commission Chair
starting in April, appoint Scott Kirchner as Vice Chairman starting in April, and appoint Jon
Ressler as an alternate Chair starting in April. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
Printup noted this Saturday is the polar plunge for the Special Olympics and he would be participating
along with the Police Chief and a representative from the Fire Department.
ADJOURNMENT
Johnson moved, Seals seconded, to adjourn the meeting at 6:57 p.m. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

Navarre Parking lot project. He discussed the draft design for the project which

There was discussion about how the directional path for parking lot traffic flow,
additions of signs, designating of spaces for loading zones and questions were asked

Barnhart noted that input received tonight will be added to the design and he will
meet with the engineer and bring back the final draft to the Council for approval at

b. Big Island Dock
Barnhart gave an update about the Big Island dock. He noted the city is proposing a
dock with two boat storage areas that would go into the lake.

Barnhart noted that a width restriction may also be considered for the boat.
There was discussion about the placement for the boat storage. The Council agreed
that boat storage could be on both sides of the dock. The Council also agreed that the
dock should accommodate space for 24-26 foot length spaces on each side or two 21
feet spaces on one side.
Barnhart will check with the LMCD Representative, Richie Anderson for more
information about those requirements.

AGENDA ITEM
Prepared By: SO Reviewed By: A. Carlson Approved By:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to proceed with Lift Station
Rehabilitation projects for 2022.
2. Background. The Sewer Department has developed a maintenance plan for the 46 lift/ grinder
stations that are part of the sewer system. As part of the plan, each station is inspected annually to identify
routine maintenance needs. In addition to routine maintenance, the plan also includes the upgrade of two
lift stations per year. A lift station upgrade involves replacing discharge piping, pumps, and control panel
and all electrical that operates the lift station. The lift stations that are upgraded are selected based on a
number of factors: age, maintenance records, issues discovered during the annual inspection and the risks
associated with the failure of the lift station. Lift Station 3 (3400 East Lake St) was reconstructed in 1992
and Lift Station 11 (1813 Fagerness Point Rd) was constructed in 1991 and both lift stations surpassed
their life expectancy. Maintenance costs are increasing due to their age and the outdated technology of the
controls and pumps.
3. Project Scope. Installation of new control panels, two new pumps per station, discharge piping and
all electrical work.
4. Cost. We have solicited three quotations for Lift Station 3 and Lift Station 11 upgrades, listed below.

1.Purpose. The purpose of this action item is to gain approval to proceed with the playground upgrades
at Crystal Bay Park.
2.Background. Several pieces of playground equipment at Crystal Bay Park are in need of repair
while other items are in need of complete replacement. The current layout of the playground is in four
separate pods that should be set apart by age group usage. There is some equipment that is not separated
correctly by age group. The current surface of the playground is pea gravel which is inconsistent in its
safety performance. Engineered wood fiber (EWF) is a popular ADA-compliant choice over pea gravel.
The borders of each of the pods are made of plastic that has deteriorated significantly. Concrete curbing
has become the preferred border and several Orono parks have already made the change to concrete. The
Park Commission and City staff reviewed designs and quotes from several companies and Flagship
Recreation provided the better value and concept. City staff received several quotes to sub-contract some
of the labor but the quotes came in at the same value or higher in some cases.
3.Project Scope. Replace plastic borders with concrete curbing. Remove pea gravel and replace with
engineered wood fiber (EWF). Restore playground equipment surfaces and re-paint to match new
equipment. Move all equipment to age appropriate pods. Purchase and install new playground
equipment. Remove “tri-spinner” platform and incorporate a more age appropriate piece of equipment.
4.Cost. City staff solicited quotes from two different vendors, Flagship Recreation and Minnesota
Wisconsin Playground. The Park Commission and City staff reviewed the quotes and determined that the
Flagship Recreation quote met the goals for the park and for the budget.
Company Quote
Flagship Recreation $71,177.11
Minnesota Wisconsin Playground $92,756.55
5.Funding. Funding will come from the Park Dedication Fund. The projected 2022 EOY Park
Dedication Fund is $ 385,000
6.Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends accepting the bid from Flagship Recreation.

1. LA21-000071 PAUL TAUTON, 3600 IVY PLACE, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (CUP)
Paul Tauton, Applicant, was present.
Staff presented a summary packet of information. Ms. Oakden noted the Applicant is looking for a CUP
for a structure in the floodplain to install a permanent dock. The Lake Minnetonka Conservation District
(LMCD) regulates docks on the lake and they have not yet issued a permit. However the proposed dock
will extend 40 feet off the shore and the LMCD is working with the Applicant at this time. An updated
layout was emailed to Commissioners and published to the website earlier in the day, along with public
comment received. Per City code permanent docks may be allowed with a CUP following the standards
and procedures set forth by the code. Staff recommends approval of this CUP for construction of the
proposed permanent dock subject to the following conditions:
1. The dock may be allowed as long as it continues to be permitted by the LMCD and DNR
and is in conformity with the rules and regulations of those agencies, and
2. The dock is not to be used for commercial purposes or rented.
McCutcheon asked with the dock to the south, is there room for this new proposed dock.
Oakden noted the location of the dock is something the LMCD will review and they are coordinating with
the Applicant regarding lake depths and location.
Paul Tauton, 3600 Casco Point, noted he is present and available for questions.
Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 6:09 p.m.
Jay Nygard, 1386 Rest Point Road, does not have a problem with the application but he does not
understand why they are before the City Council this evening. He knows there is a teeny bit of the dock
that might be attached to the shore and it seems silly to him. The LMCD regulates docks on the lake and
should issue the permit for the dock. He noted they are making Mr. Tauton go through a double process
for no reason and the overregulating seems silly. It hearkens him back to “Nancy the dock lady” whom
the City prosecuted a few years ago for renting out a single space so she could pay her taxes and stay in
the family home; she had to go through two different criminal charges over that and it makes no sense to
him. They should be encouraging people to stay in the City and should not be overregulating. He noted
this does not fall under a conditional use because everyone on the lake gets to have a dock. He thinks
things like this have to go away.
Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 6:11 p.m.
McCutcheon moved, Peterson seconded, to approve LA21-000071, 3600 Ivy Place, Conditional Use

Subject: LA21-000071, Paul Tauton, 3600 Ivy Place, Conditional Use Permit
Public Hearing
Background
The applicant wishes to install a permanent dock. Because of the permanent nature of the dock
structure within the floodway, a conditional use permit (CUP) is required. The Lake Minnetonka
Conservation District (LMCD) regulates docks on the Lake.
Applicable Regulations:
CUP (Section 78-1117)
Floodway means the bed of a wetland or lake and the channel of a watercourse and those
portions of the adjoining floodplain which are reasonably required to carry or store the regional
flood discharge. Permanent docks may be allowed as a conditional use within the floodway
following the standards and procedures set forth in City Code Section 78-1148 and further
subject to the standards set forth in Code Section 78-1119. The LMCD has not yet issued the
permit; however, the proposed dock will extend approximately 70 feet from the shore. The
LMCD noted some layout changes may be required depending on the depth of the lake, but
suggested a permanent dock could meet all LMCD standards for the parcel.
Conditional Use Permit (Sections 78-916 & 78-1119)
The Planning Commission may recommend and the Council may grant a Conditional Use
Permit (CUP) as the use permit was applied for or in modified form. On the basis of the
application and the evidence submitted, the city must find that the proposed use at the
proposed location is or will be:
1) Consistent with the community management plan; Docks are anticipated accessory
uses on lakeshore residential properties. This criterion is met.
2) Compliant with the zoning code, including any conditions imposed on specific uses as
required by article V, division 3 of the City Code; Docks are listed as allowed
accessory uses in residential zoning districts. This criterion is met.
3) Adequately served by police, fire, roads, and stormwater management. This criterion
is met.
4) Provided with an adequate water supply and sewage disposal system; Not applicable.
Application Summary: The applicant is requesting approval of a conditional use permit for a
permanent dock.
Staff Recommendation: Planning Department Staff recommends approval.
FILE # LA21-000071
18 January 2022
Page 2 of 4
5) Not expected to generate excessive demand for public services at public cost; The
permanent dock is not expected to generate any demand for public services. This
criterion is met.
6) Compatible with the surrounding area as the area is used both presently and as it is
planned to be used in the future; There are other seasonal and permanent docks in
the area, there is no proposed change of use. This criterion is met.
7) Consistent with the character of the surrounding area, unless a change of character
is called for in the community management plan; No change is proposed in the
Comprehensive Plan. This criterion is met.
8) Compatible with the character of buildings and site improvements in the surrounding
area, unless a change of character is called for in the community management plan;
There are other seasonal and permanent docks in the general area, there is no
proposed change of use. This criterion is met.
9) Not expected to substantially impair the use and enjoyment of the property in the
area or have a materially adverse impact on the property values in the area when
compared to the impairment or impact of generally permitted uses; The proposed
permanent dock is not expected to impair property values or impact permitted uses
in the area. This criterion is met.
10) Provided with screening and buffering adequate to mitigate undesirable views and
activities likely to disturb surrounding uses; Screening is not necessary for this
improvement which is common along the lakeshore. This criterion is met.
11) Not create a nuisance which generates smoke, noise, glare, vibration, odors, fumes,
dust, electrical interference, general unsightliness, or other means; This criterion is
met.
12) Not cause excessive non-residential traffic on residential streets, parking needs that
cause a demonstrable inconvenience to adjoining properties, traffic congestion, or
unsafe access; This residential dock on a single family property is not expected to
generate excessive traffic or be an inconvenience to adjoining properties. This
criterion is met.
13) Designed to take into account the natural, scenic, and historic features of the area
and to minimize environmental impact; By the nature of the dock it will project
from the shore into the lake as permitted by the LMCD. This criterion is met.
14) All exterior lighting shall be so directed so as not to cast glare toward or onto the
public right-of-way or neighboring residential uses or districts; The applicant will be
informed of this requirement; and
15) Not detrimental to the public health, public safety, or general welfare. This criterion
is met.
Additional standards for floodway conditional uses (Sec. 78-1119). A conditional use must not
cause any increase in the stage of the one percent chance or regional flood or cause an increase
in flood damages in the reach or reaches affected.
Accessory structures. Accessory structures, as identified in section 78-1118(1), may be
permitted, provided that:
(1) Structures are not intended for human habitation;
(2) Structures will have a low flood damage potential;
FILE # LA21-000071
18 January 2022
Page 3 of 4
(3) Structures will be constructed an placed so as to offer a minimal obstruction to the
flow of flood waters;
(4) Service utilities, such as electrical and heating equipment, within these structures
must be elevated to or above the regulatory flood protection elevation or properly
floodproofed;
(5) Structures must be elevated on fill or structurally dry floodproofed in accordance with
the FP1 or FP2 floodproofing classifications in the state building code. All floodproofed
structures must be adequately anchored to prevent flotation, collapse or lateral
movement and designed to equalize hydrostatic flood forces on exterior walls.
(6) As an alternative, an accessory structure may be internally/wet floodproofed to the
FP3 or FP4 floodproofing classifications in the state building code, provided the
accessory structure constitutes a minimal investment and does not exceed 576 square
feet in size. Designs for meeting this requirement must either be certified by a
registered professional engineer or meet or exceed the following criteria:
a. To allow for the equalization of hydrostatic pressure, there must be a minimum of
two "automatic" openings in the outside walls of the structure, with a total net
area of not less than one square inch for every square foot of enclosed area
subject to flooding; and
b. There must be openings on at least two sides of the structure and the bottom of
all openings must be no higher than one foot above the lowest adjacent grade to
the structure. Using human intervention to open a garage door prior to flooding
will not satisfy this requirement for automatic openings.
(d) Structural works for flood control that will change the course, current or cross section of
protected wetlands or public waters are subject to the provisions of Minn. Stat. §
103G.245.
(e) A levee, dike or floodwall constructed in the floodway must not cause an increase to the
one percent chance or regional flood. The technical analysis must assume equal
conveyance or storage loss on both sides of a stream.
(f) Floodway developments must not adversely affect the hydraulic capacity of the channel
and adjoining floodplain of any tributary watercourse or drainage system.
A CUP may be granted subject to such conditions as the Council may prescribe. Additionally,
a CUP shall remain in effect as long as the conditions imposed by the City Council are
observed, but nothing in this section shall prevent the city from enacting or amending official
controls to change the status of conditional uses.
Conditional Use Permit Analysis
Orono’s concurrent jurisdiction over permanent docks is via the City’s floodplain regulations. A
dock meets the standards outlined in Section 78-1118(1) for accessory structures. .
There are no specific Building Code construction standards for docks. The City will require that a
zoning permit be issued to document the existence and construction of the permanent dock and
action of this CUP.

Permanent docks (i.e. those docks with permanent pilings which cannot be removed without
heavy equipment) sometimes result in requests by property owners for winter de-icing, to avoid
ice damage. The LMCVD regulates winter de-icing. The proposed dock will be located in a fairly
well protected area, so the potential for ice damage or the need for de-icing is relatively
minimal. There appear to be other permanent docks in the area, and the city has received no
documented problems or issues.
Another potential concern would be whether the work is in a sensitive habitat or spawning area,
and whether the permanent dock might affect navigation or winter vehicular traffic on the lake.
The LMCD is request additional information regarding the lake depth within the surrounding areas
of the proposed permanent dock. LMCD will review the location to ensure the waterway is
navigable in the lagoon area. The LMCD had commented that the dock shape and proposed
location may change to ensure lake accessibility.
Public Comments
To date, no public comments have been received.
Issues for Consideration
1. Does the Planning Commission find that that the property owner proposes to use the
property in a reasonable manner?
2. Does the Planning Commission find that the CUP, if granted, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood?
3. Does the Commission find it necessary to impose conditions in order to mitigate the
impacts created by the granting of the requested CUP?
4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?
Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for construction of the proposed
permanent dock subject to the following conditions:
1. The dock may be allowed as long as it continues to be permitted by the LMCD and DNR
and is in conformity with the rules and regulations of those agencies; and
2. The dock is not to be used for commercial purposes or rented.

1. Purpose. To consider an ordinance amendment related to Park dedication when property is
subdivided or developed. Also consider a summary ordinance for publication purposes.
2. Background/ Council Vote. When the City Council reviewed the subdivision code in 2018, it was
noted that a review of the park dedication requirements was warranted, given the dedication requirements
were last reviewed in 2011 and amended in 2001. The City Council discussed the park dedication process
at workshops in November and December, 2021.
The draft park dedication requirements are based on a desire that new development pays for its self,
without overly burdening existing taxpayers. In essence, the ratio of existing park land and trails to
existing households is maintained for each new household added to the city. For every household in
Orono, there is .09 acres of parkland and 5 feet of trails. To maintain this ratio, park dedication is
proposed at 0.1 acres of parkland per new residential unit. A similar ratio is developed for commercial
and industrial developments, based on employees or acres. Where a land donation is not appropriate or
desired by the City, the cash equivalent of the land is found based on the subject parcels predeveloped
value. These funds may be used to acquire new parks or improve existing parks. It may not be used for
park maintenance, or for other general fund purposes.
In December, the Council discussed how the predeveloped value of the land was determined, and directed
staff to include the value noted on the Certificate of Real Estate Value (CRV). The City Attorney
recommends against that practice because that value isn’t the predeveloped value. The draft ordinance
uses the advice of the County Assessor, an appraisal paid for by the applicant, or an agreed upon value
between the City and the developer as the options for determining value. The third party valuation
recommended by the County Assessor is used most frequently.
3. Planning Commission Vote and Comment. On January 18th, the Planning Commission held a
public hearing. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission voted 4 – 0 on a motion to
approve the proposed ordinance. The draft minutes from that meeting are attached as Exhibit D.
4. Public Comment. No written comments have been received in support or opposition to the draft.
During the Public Hearing, one resident did not support the use of the park dedication for improvements
to the parks, and also felt that adequate notice of the proposed change was not given.
5. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the Council adopt both ordinances as drafted.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
City Council should approve the Park Dedication Ordinance No, 268, Third Series and Summary

THE CITY COUNCIL OF ORONO ORDAINS: 9
10
SECTION 1. Section 82-226 Parks and Playgrounds shall be amended by deleting 11
and replacing the text to read as follows: 12
13
Sec. 82-226. Parks and playgrounds. 14
(1) Lands for public use. The city finds that when land is developed, including a planned residential development 15
or a planned unit development, the resulting additional housing units or commercial/industrial buildings 16
have an impact on the city's park system. Therefore, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 462.358, subd. 2b, the city 17
requires all persons, corporations or other legal entities that develop land within the city, as a prerequisite to 18
approval of a lot division, final plat, planned residential development or planned unit development, to 19
convey to the city or dedicate to the public, for use as parks, playgrounds, trails or open space, a 20
proportionate share of the land being developed as specified in this section, such portions to be approved by 21
the city. Further, the City finds that the density of a proposed project impacts the park system, higher density 22
projects, with less private area for recreation, have greater needs for and impacts on the public park system 23
than larger lots with ample private green space. 24
(a) Any increase in density of subdivisions shall be reviewed for reconsideration of park land and/ or cash 25
contribution requirements. 26
(2) Dedicated land requirements. Any land to be dedicated as a requirement of this section shall be reasonably 27
adaptable for the public purposes listed in subsection (1) of this section. Factors used in evaluating the 28
adequacy of proposed dedicated areas shall include size, shape, topography, drainage, geology, tree cover, 29
access and location. 30
(3) When a proposed park, playground, recreation area, trail or other public ground has been indicated in the 31
city's official map or Comprehensive Plan and is located in whole or in part within a proposed subdivision, it 32
shall be designated as such on the plat and shall be conveyed to the city. If the developer elects not to 33
dedicate an area in excess of the land required hereunder for such proposed public site, the city may 34
consider acquiring the site through purchase or condemnation. 35
(4) Land area conveyed or dedicated to the city shall not be used in calculating density requirements of this 36
chapter and shall be in addition to and not in lieu of open space requirements as may be required. 37
(5) The city, upon consideration of the particular type of development, may require lesser parcels of land to be 38
conveyed to the city if the city determines that present or future residents would require lesser land for park 39
and playground purposes. 40
(6) Land dedication minimum area. 41
Created: 2021-08-18 14:29:07 [EST]
(Supp. No. 19, Update 4)
Page 2 of 3
Developers shall be required to dedicate to the city for parks, playgrounds, trails, open spaces and other 42
public purposes as a minimum that percentage of gross land area, or other such amount as may be 43
determined by the city council, as set forth below: 44
a. In residential/agricultural/multiple residential zoned land, dedication requirement of 0.10 acres per 45
additional residential household being developed. The dedication required shall be roughly 46
proportional to the projected impact of the proposed development on the city's park system. 47
b. In commercial/industrial zoned land, dedication requirement of 0.1 acres for every acre of land being 48
developed, or for every 14 expected employees, whichever is greater. The dedication required shall be 49
roughly proportional to the projected impact of the proposed development on the city's park system. 50
The city finds that the employees of commercial/industrial developments in the city make use of the 51
city's park system, particularly trails and natural areas. Because the city's park system is focused on 52
trails and natural areas versus active community parks and ballfields, commercial/industrial employees 53
use the city's park system in ways similar to city residents. Therefore, the commercial/industrial 54
dedication requirement will be tied to the residential dedication requirement by determining the 55
number of employees that is equivalent to a residential dwelling unit in terms of impact on the city's 56
park system 57
c. The form of contribution (cash, land, or any combination) shall be determined at the discretion of the 58
city council. 59
(7) Cash contribution in lieu of lands. In those instances where a cash contribution is to be made by the 60
developer, in lieu of a conveyance or dedication of land, the cash contribution to be contributed shall be 61
equivalent to the fair market value of the land to be dedicated. The city shall account for such funds in a 62
special fund named park dedication funds. These funds are to be used only for the acquisition, development 63
and improvement of public parks, playgrounds, trails, wetlands or open spaces, and debt retirement in 64
connection with the foregoing. 65
(a) Cash contribution maximum. In those instances where the anticipated park needs are greater than the 66
number of acres to be developed, the City may establish a park dedication maximum: 67
Residential density of 3 units per acre or less: maximum 4 percent of the predeveloped value 68
Residential density of 3.1- 8 units per acre: maximum 8 percent of the predeveloped value 69
Residential density of 8.1 - 15 units per acre: maximum 12 percent of the predeveloped value 70
Residential density of 15.1 units per acre or more: maximum 20 percent of the predeveloped value 71
(8) Fair market value of lands. Fair market value for purposes of this section shall be the land predevelopment 72
value to be determined by the city council as of the time of preliminary plat application in accordance with 73
the following: 74
a. Recommendation of the County assessor. 75
b. The Developer and the City agree on the predevelopment value of the land. 76
c. If agreement is not reached, the fair market value shall be determined in accordance with the 77
following: 78
1. Fair market value as determined by the city council based upon a current appraisal submitted to 79
the city by the developer, at their expense. The appraisal shall be made by appraisers who are 80
approved members of SREA or MAI, or equivalent real estate societies. 81
2. If the city disputes such appraisal amounts, it may obtain an appraisal of the property by a 82
qualified real estate appraiser which the city council selects and which appraisal may be accepted 83
Created: 2021-08-18 14:29:07 [EST]
(Supp. No. 19, Update 4)
Page 3 of 3
by the city as being an accurate appraisal at fair market value. The cost of the appraisal shall be 84
paid by the developer. 85
d. The determination of fair market value of the undeveloped land by the city assessor, city council or 86
designated appraisers shall be determined at the time of final approval. 87
(9) Future subdivision. Any land which is further subdivided, divided or applied for such subdivision, division 88
subsequent to May 1, 1990, shall be subject to the requirements of the ordinance then in effect concerning 89
dedication of land for public purposes; and credit shall be given for any charges previously imposed upon 90
that land if the developer can prove that fees were previously paid. In no event shall the city be liable for any 91
payment which may be due because of a subsequent reduction in the application percentage of land or 92
equivalent market value in cash to be dedicated. 93
(10) Request for deviation. The dedication requirements based on the development's proportional share of the 94
City park system are presumptively appropriate. A developer may request a deviation from the presumptive 95
requirements based upon the anticipated impact of that particular subdivision. The request must be made to 96
the Council as part of an application for Final plat approval. 97
SECTION 2. EFFECTIVE DATE: This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its 98
passage and publication. 99

Adam Edwards, City Administrator
From: Jeremy Barnhart, Community Development Director
Date: January 18, 2022
Subject: #LA21-000074, City of Orono Text Amendment – Park Dedication
Public Hearing
Background
When updating the Subdivision code in 2018, it was noted the need to update the park dedication
requirements, based on several factors including the park system goals, existing and anticipated
development patterns, and property values.
After review of the current park system, and anticipated growth based on the 2040 Comprehensive
plan, staff proposes some changes to the park dedication methodology and formula. In essence, the
revised methodology is based on the premise that “Development pays for itself.”
Analysis: In summary, the current residential share of our park system is 0.09 acre per residential
house hold. The current Commercial/ Industrial share is 0.05 acres per C/I acre or 14 employees.
Any future development should maintain the current level of park in the system, while added
additional users to the park system. For simplicity, it is recommended that the ratio round up to 0.1
acres to incorporate the trails into the land donation requirement.
The ordinance outlines the requirements: A new development (including a subdivision, plat, or zone
change to RPUD) shall provide an amount of land to satisfy the park dedication, equal to 0.1 acres per
new unit. In most cases, the required donation will be in the form of cash. The amount will be based
on the amount of land required and the average value of the land being developed. Because of the
widely varying land values in Orono, this amount will be capped based on the proposed density, but in
no case does the cap exceed 20% of the land value.
Public Comments
To date, no public comments have been received.

3.LA21-000074 TEXT AMENDMENT, PARK DEDICATION.
Staff presented a summary packet of information. Barnhart stated when they reviewed the subdivision
code in 2018 it was noted that the park dedication requirements were antiquated and needed to be updated
based on current goals of the community. Staff tweaked some of the ordinance and reviewed the
methodology of how they came up with the park dedication. Park dedication is allowed by State statute
within several parameters. One of the key parameters is that there should be a nexus between what the
City requires as a park dedication and what impact a proposed development has on the park system. Staff
analyzed the number of households and acreage of the park system, then approached it with the idea that
new development should pay for itself, meaning there is an adequate amount of park system for the
community. If one adds more households to the community they should also add more park to the
community to keep things linear. He noted parks and trails would be part of the park dedication
calculation. He showed a draft on screen noting that each new household should provide 0.1 acres of park
(land or cash) at the discretion of the City Council. Staff has drafted an ordinance that takes the current
amount of households, parks, trails, and anticipated growth based on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan from
2018 and applied it to the subdivision code. He noted they also propose a cap as a parcel with a lot of
density (10-20 units/acre) the cash donation requirement could be more than the cost or value of the
property. Staff proposes a cap based on density.
Erickson asked if Barnhart received his email with comments and proposed adjustments.
Barnhart did incorporate Erickson’s comments into the draft that is currently on screen.
Vice Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 7:24 p.m.
Sonja Lockman, 115 Luce Line Ridge, has a real concern that the money can be used for park
improvement, that the value can be determined simply between the City and the developer when they
have already seen the potential for these bogus public-private partnerships that do not benefit the City or
the residents. She is very concerned that the money can be used to take over a park, such as Lowry
Woods, to buy into an easement to give property to another private entity – which is a mountain biking
group – that would destroy the woods and that is expressly not in line with the nature conservancy of that
woods. She stated “we have been told that the Lowry Woods access is the number one goal for the Park
Commission even though we were told prior that they would not try to get any access for bikes into
Lowry Woods. We have been told that our neighbors have been approached in the past about selling an
easement for people to have access.” Ms. Lockman has a very big concern that this is an end-run around
things that do not benefit. She thinks this is a lack of available notice to the public to weigh in on this and
that is not okay. She stated a public hearing requires that they give notice and there was no notice.
Vice Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 7:28 p.m.
Vice Chair Ressler asked Mr. Barnhart to clarify how the public is notified of a text amendment such as
this one.
Barnhart replied a text amendment is posted on the website and also in the paper. He would recommend
anyone interested to subscribe on the website, noting they can subscribe to any legal notices and have
agendas pushed to their email inbox.

In lieu of land, the cash equivalent for projects with a density less than 10 units per acre is the
lower of either the product found by multiplying the number of acres required times the average
undeveloped value per acre, or 5% of the undeveloped land value. Because higher density
developments have less private open space for which to recreate, and therefore have a greater
impact on the public park system, projects with a density 10 units or greater, the cash equivalent
shall be the lower of either the product found by multiplying the number of acres required times
the average undeveloped value per acre, or 20% of the undeveloped land value.
Proposed Park dedication, commercial is 0.05 acres per 14 employees or 1 acre of C/I land

3.04. Records Retention & Management.
• Online Records Look Up Tool. The online access to property files, ordinances, resolutions, and
meeting documents which include, Packets, Agendas, and Minutes has now available to the public. This
has been a huge upgrade for the city. It was brought on as an important goal during the 2020 pandemic.
Since offices were closed the city had to make records easily accessible for staff. In May, the city was
able to create access for all visitors to our Laserfiche files listed above. This tool has not only made
research easier for staff, it has allowed the residents to have 24 hour access to their property file as well as
other pertinent documents. The newly organized Public data page of our website has been updated to
show visitors all options for obtaining data from the city and it includes instructions for use.
• Microfilm conversion. The city contains thousands of files on microfilm. Currently the only options
for visitors and staff to access microfilm files are through use of the microfilm machine or by identifying
select files they wish to be scanned. Our scanning staff has managed to convert over 150 property files of
microfilm to electronic format. Administrative staff has been going through those files and processing
them for retention and organizing them to be moved to Laserfiche once the project is complete. Scan staff
has now been trained to identify files and will begin retaining files as needed during the scanning process
which will create more efficiency during the next phase and help with an earlier completion. This project
is expected to last over the next three or more years.
3.05. Recycling & Organics. Community Organics Drop off site. The city is working on rolling out
the new organics drop off site for 2022. Hennepin County Ordinance has required cities >10000 to offer a
community drop off site if curbside is not available through haulers. Orono’s site will be located at the
Public Works Facility and should be available to residents soon. The city is still waiting for WM to drop
off the container and once it is placed, communications will begin. Communications will include
educational materials, blurbs, and messages sent out through social media and other communication
routes.
3.06. Communications and Outreach. The city has ramped up the communications this year. We
have implemented more images and created more awareness of communication management. The Website
has been reorganized, images have been incorporated to catch reader’s eyes, and happenings have been sent out
more often to better serve residents. This year we have sent out over 230 notifications via our listserv. Most of
those notifications are also sent out on the city’s social media sites as well. We have created more informative
messages to be displayed on our homepage to notify visitors of the latest information of the city.

relevant to the City’s preparation and
fair presentation of the financial statements. There were no material weaknesses or significant deficiencies
of internal controls identified in 2020.
4.06. Utility Billing (UB) and Administration.
11
• The Public Works UB specialist had discovered approximately 25 properties that were not being billed
properly and has fixed those with the help of Public Works. In addition, in 2021 the UB specialist reduced
the number of returned UB bills by reaching out to owners, renters and other contacts to update records.
• All paper septic reports have been scanned into Laserfiche, we normally bill approximately 1200
accounts and there were approximately 1000 converted to electronic; making searches more efficient.
Septic letters and reminders are once again being sent out to residents.
• Added new envelop folder/stuffer in 2021. This has helped immensely with speeding up the amount
of time spent stuffing and folding UB bills and other communications to be delivered.
• Full UB bills were implemented in 2021. Full sheet bills offer more opportunities to communicate
with Orono residents and offer them more detailed information about their bills. Residents seem to be
adapting well to the new format.
• Check 21 was implemented for Utility Payments increasing the efficiency of applying payments to
accounts while reducing the number of trips to the bank to deposit payments.
• The city has updated approximately 400 meters this year. Due to the new installation of meters the
UB Specialist is able to catch high reads and dead meters. By catching the high reads, we are able to
communicate it to the residents earlier so they can resolve the issue and stop leaks earlier.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Our police department takes pride in serving our communities. We deeply appreciate our
partnerships with everyone. We were grateful to get back together and be able to participate
in a few more community events than was possible in 2020. Here are just a few of the
highlights.
National Night Out
There were 28 organized parties around our community this year and we had 6 teams of
police officers and reserves that visited each one. It’s a great time for residents to connect
and communicate with our officers and to strengthen neighborhood partnerships. The squad
car and fire truck tours are always a hit with the kids too and are sure to put smiles on the
faces of both the kids and officers.
Firearm Safety
In August 2021, we conducted a DNR Firearm Safety course for the third year. Instructors
from Orono PD partnered with the MN DNR and Chunks Automotive service to provide youth
with a complete safety course. Students ages 11 and older attended a classroom-based
firearms certification course where they learned how to handle firearms safely, responsibilities
of a hunter and wildlife conservation. They participated in a Field Day where they exercised
their knowledge in scenario-based training. Each student finished the course with a final
exam and received a firearms safety certificate. It was a great class again this year and a
very positive experience for all.
Four basic rules of firearm handling:
• Treat each firearm as if is loaded
• Always control the muzzle of your
firearm
• Be sure of your target and what is
beyond
• Keep your finger off the trigger
and outside the trigger guard until
ready to shoot

Visit with Santa
Thankfully our officers were once again able to make a visit with Santa Claus to enjoy an
evening of holiday cheer with the residents of Presbyterian Homes on Lake Minnetonka,
Orono Woods, Trails of Orono and Harrison Bay. This is always a highlight of our holiday
season as we all enjoy visiting and connecting with these residents. We’re not sure who
appreciates the visit more! As always, Santa spread much happiness to all the good boys
and girls!
Special Olympics Polar Plunge
We took a dive into the freezing waters of Lake Minnetonka again as officers, family
members, city councilmembers and other friends joined together as team Frozen Copsicles
for the Polar Plunge. All funds raised by the participating teams go to help Special Olympics
Minnesota in their support of thousands of athletes across the State. Thanks to this brave
team of 13 members and their supporters, $5,820 was raised for Special Olympics.

POLICE PROGRAMS
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) Program
This program was developed in 2020. The UAV’s provide us with better capabilities when
searching an area for a lost or missing person along with a larger safety margin when dealing
with critical incidents. The UAV was deployed without a search warrant 57 times in 2021.
The reasons for a UAV deployment without a search warrant allowed by statute are provided
below:
Reason Code Reason
1 During or in the aftermath of an emergency situation that involves the risk of death or
bodily harm to a person
2 Over a public event where there is a heightened risk to the safety of participants by
bystanders
3 To counter the risk of a terrorist attack by a specific individual or organization if the
agency determines that credible intelligence indicates a risk
4 To prevent the loss of life and property in natural or man-made disasters and to facilitate
operational planning, rescue, and recovery operations in the aftermath of these disasters
5 To conduct a threat assessment in anticipation of a specific event
6 To collect information from a public area if there is reasonable suspicion of criminal
activity
7 To collect information for crash reconstruction purposes after a serious or deadly collision
occurring on a public road
8 Over a public area for officer training or public relations purposes
9
For purposes unrelated to law enforcement at the request of government entity provided
that the government entity makes the request in writing to the law enforcement agency
and specifies the reason for the request and proposed period of use
The date of deployment and the reason code are required to be submitted to the BCA UCA
Data Collecting Unit each year. The following are the number of times and the reason code
for each deployment reported by our agency in 2021:
Reason Code Number of Deployments
1 9
6 6
8 42

Community Service Dog
Similar to the year prior, Xerxes contact with many was severely hindered due to issues
pertaining to COVID-19. Normal routines were still impacted for him, but he would lend a
hand when he could. By the summer months, Xerxes was able to get back to a bit of a
routine in his community visits. He frequented the Orono Dog Park, making more
connections with both humans and canines. Multiple times a week he would pay outdoor
visits to our senior centers, park, and playgrounds. This allows for simple conversations that
our officers can have with community members, which help tremendously in furthering their
confidence with the Orono Police Department.
Many police departments across Minnesota still contact Orono as a
leading agency that has integrated a Community Service/Therapy
type dog into their department ranks. Xerxes’ impact is a difficult
one to quantify as a statistic. As with much in law enforcement, you
rarely hear of our successes. We are fortunate to have our donors
that help support this program and keep it
something organic and growing. Xerxes
primary handler was recently assigned to investigations where there is
potential for a new set of roles and persons to have impact with. This
new shift work for Xerxes opens up more opportunities for his other
handlers to continue in generating positive police contacts in our
schools and communities.
Xerxes can be found most days perched by the front door of the police department, greeting
anyone who should come to our doors.
Body Worn Cameras
In July 2021, the Orono Police Department implemented the use of body worn cameras.
These are small devices that record interactions between law enforcement and citizen
contacts. There are several benefits regarding the use of these recording devices, some of
which include increased public confidence in policing, a reduction of complaints and
allegations made against police officers, and evidentiary value.

D.A.R.E
The Mound Westonka DARE program involves all 1st, 3rd and 6th grade students. It is a 6-
week course and begins in January. Students are instructed in a variety of safety courses
seeking to prevent the use of drugs, involvement in gangs and violent behavior. With COVID-
19 still a factor, causing kids to be distance learning for portions of 2021, the DARE program
was conducted online. Orono’s DARE instructor created 10 videos with 10 games attached
for the students to play and answer questions. They also completed a project this year
instead of the typical essay as the last assignment.
Explorers
On June 26, 2021, the Orono Police Explorers participated in a state wide explorer
competition. They had a chance to compete in six different events throughout the day. Only
the top three teams from each event were acknowledged for an award. This was the first
competition the group of 4 explorers had ever competed in together and they did
exceptionally well. Our explorers won first place in burglary, domestics and traffic and second
place in interviewing and crashes.
Lake Minnetonka SWAT
The Lake Minnetonka SWAT Team consists of officers from the Lake
Minnetonka area to include, Orono, South Lake, Minnetrista and
West Hennepin Public Safety. SWAT members train monthly,
putting in 36 hours in 2021 and continue to train with other metro
SWAT teams at Camp Ripley for three days during the annual
MTOA Training Conference.
The Lake Minnetonka SWAT Team currently has 11 members who continue to train for high
risk and dangerous situations that are beyond the normal scope of a typical patrol
response. Members use scenario based training to become more effective in dealing with
situations such as armed barricaded subjects, hostage rescue, active shooter, and high risk
warrants.

Mobile Field Force
Following the Minneapolis riots in the summer of 2020, the west metro police chiefs collectively
created the West Command Mobile Field Force (WCMFF). WCMMF was created to protect life
and property during times of civil unrest in the west metro. The mobile field force concept is
used all around the country.
The Orono Police Department has two officers who received mobile field force training and are
serving on the WCMMF. The officers were deployed with WCMMF to provide security to the
Brooklyn Center Police Department during the civil unrest following the Officer Kim Potter fatal
shooting of Daunte Wright. The WCMMF was utilized for approximately 10 days following the
shooting.
WCMMF was also deployed the day the verdict was expected in the Officer Derek Chauvin
and Officer Kim Potter trials. Officers in the mobile field force were often deployed and
staged in areas in the west metro in order to quickly respond to areas of civil unrest. The goal
was to allow for peaceful protest while attempting to preserve life and property during times of
civil unrest.

In 2021, we experienced a significant increase in motor vehicle thefts. This was a trend that
spread Metro-wide. Vehicles were usually left unlocked with keys inside. In some incidents,
this also coincided with home-invasion burglaries. Suspects were entering vehicles and
occupied dwellings either by force or non-force and stealing purses, keys, cell phones, and
other items. Once they retrieved the keys, they would then steal the vehicle(s). Through
investigation and collaboration with other local police agencies, groups of these individuals
involved in these crime sprees were identified and prosecuted.
“Don’t make your vehicle an easy
target. Lock your doors, remove your
keys, close your windows completely,
park in well-lit areas.”

INVESTIGATIONS SUMMARY
Robbery
Victim met a party in Golden Valley where he sold his vehicle. The victim got a ride back to
his residence in Spring Park, where the male party pulled a gun and took the money that the
victim received for selling his vehicle. Through investigations, Orono Police were able to
identify the male party. The case is pending disposition.
Criminal Vehicular Homicide
A single vehicle crash in which the driver was impaired and driving at a high rate of speed,
took the lives of two young men, ages 20 and 24 years old. The 51-year-old driver sustained
critical injuries and was later arrested and booked on charges of criminal vehicular homicide
into the Hennepin County Jail. The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office issued a formal
complaint and added 3rd degree murder changes as well. The case is set for trial.
Burglary (Occupied Dwelling)
Suspects used force and entered an occupied residential home where they took valuables
and then gained access to the garage and stole the homeowner’s two vehicles. The
homeowners and their children were sleeping during the incident. Orono PD investigators,
along with other metro area law enforcement agencies were able to identify the suspects.
They were charged in this case, as well as other cases in the metro. One suspect who was a
juvenile, but tried as an adult, received an 88 month sentence and was ordered to pay
restitution to the multiple victims.
Arson
Orono police responded to a call of a mental health issue. It was reported that an individual
had used gas and candles, setting the home on fire. They arrived and found two individuals
in the driveway. The interior of the house was checked by officers and no one else was found
inside. A small dog was still inside, but unfortunately was not located. The two individuals
were transported for non-life threatening injuries. The case was submitted to the Hennepin
County Attorney’s Office for possible charges.
12
Theft
Catalytic converter theft was a popular trend in all of the metro area over the year. Multiple
incidents of this crime occurred in our jurisdiction. In one case, the suspects were caught on
camera, identified and charged. The case is pending.
Criminal Sexual Conduct
Orono Police took a report of criminal sexual conduct that occurred over a period of time. The
victim had videos of the criminal acts by her ex-boyfriend. The case was sent in for charging
and the charges as pending until the suspect can be located.
Theft by Swindle
The victim sold a motorcycle to the suspect to find out that the cashier’s check as fake.
Orono investigators identified the suspect, who turned out to be the brother of the name on
the fake check. OPD learned that three other agencies are trying to locate this suspect for
similar crimes in their jurisdictions. In our case, Orono investigators were able to locate the
stolen motorcycle and charge the suspect with multiple felonies.
Drug Overdose
Officers received a call of an individual not breathing and when they arrived on scene it was
clear that the individual had passed away. This person had recently been in rehab for drug
addiction but had left a week prior. Drug paraphernalia and items with narcotics residue were
located near where the victim had been found. The cause of death was later determined by
the medical examiner’s office to be accidental with a fentanyl / methamphetamine overdose
**In total for 2021, officers responded to 11 drug overdose calls. One fatality and 10 incidents
in which the victim survived. Officers administered NARCAN in seven of these incidents.
NARCAN is a prescription medicine used to reverse the effects of a suspected opioid
overdose.
