PRESENTATION
14. Swearing in of Junior Cadets
Mayor Walsh led Allison “Allie” Bunker and Lucas Bacon in the Oath of Office of Police Cadet through
the Growth through Opportunity program (GTO).
FINANCE DIRECTOR REPORT
Finance Director Olson showed a slide on screen representing building revenue, noting they are currently
at 11% of the budget and this is the slowest building time of the year.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT
15. LA21-000076 – YARDSCAPES, INC., LINCOLN DANFORTH, 1720 BOHNS POINT
ROAD, VARIANCES
City Planner Laura Oakden gave a presentation on the item, noting the Applicant is proposing to
reconstruct a failing concrete retaining wall within the 75’ lakeyard setback. She showed a survey on
screen of the proposed and existing wall. The property abuts Lake Minnetonka with a large slope along
the shoreline and is currently vacant. Ms. Oakden said the new proposed walls will be boulders to match
the walls of the neighbors to the north. Most of the walls will follow the same footprint as the existing
walls. There is a slight variation in the first 30 feet of the wall abutting the northern property; The
Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 22, 2022 and voted 5 to 0 to approve the
variance request. Staff recommended approval of the variance with additional landscape screening. City
Council is asked to provide direction to Staff for drafting a resolution.
Mayor Walsh shared that he walked the property. He asked the home owners’ representative if he did the
work on the structure on the property.
Lincoln Danforth, representing the home owner Christian Park, replied in the negative and believes the
home owner did it himself.
Mayor Walsh asked about electrical, concrete, stonework, framing, and roof work.
Mr. Danforth did not know who did those and noted there is a boat house around the side where the house
structure is. He has not been down to see it since there was work done.

LA21-000076 – YARDSCAPES, INC., LINCOLN DANFORTH, 1720 BOHNS POINT ROAD,
VARIANCES – Continued
Mayor Walsh stated there is a brand-new boat house there and he wondered who did it because no permits
were pulled, it is not allowed, and it was built in the middle of the night in the wintertime.
Mr. Danforth has not been down there since any work was done so he cannot comment on the boat house.
Tonight his part is regarding the retaining wall. In 2017, his company did the landscaping on the house
next door noting they had permission to repair some failing walls at that time. The engineering is already
done as well as drainage and he does not know why the concrete system has an irregular jog outward and
whether it was done for structural purposes or extra support at the time.
Mayor Walsh said it almost relates to the boat house. The City Council has had people with small boat
houses or storage shacks that want to move them and the City has never allowed that, even a foot in the
floodplains. Rather, the City Council has had the Applicants raise the structure without going bigger or
taller. The problem Mayor Walsh sees in allowing the Applicant to straighten out the walls to make it
look better is allowing them to do something that others have not been allowed to do. When there is
hardcover, foundations, and structural coverage in the 0-75, they must live with the formation that is
there. He noted they must follow like-and-kind and the same footprint as is present currently.
The City Council discussed wall integrity, width of the footprint, and like-and-kind.
Mr. Danforth asked to go back and revisit what can be done regarding the wall.
Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to table LA21-000076, 1720 BOHNS POINT ROAD,

16. LA21-000077 - PKA ARCHITECTURE O/B/O LONG LAKE ROWING CREW - FEE
WAIVER REQUEST/REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS
City Engineer Edwards stated the City has had proposals by the Long Lake Rowing Club (LLRC) for the
construction of a boat house in partnership with the City at Summit Beach Park. The Club submitted a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and a text amendment application. The Applicant is now withdrawing
those applications and has asked for the fees associated with those to be waived and would like to present
to the City Council.
Rob Berrell, 2740 White Oak Circle, thanked the City Council, Committees, and Staff for their time and
energy to explore the idea of a community rowing center. He noted on March 1, 2022, the LLRC Board
voted unanimously to withdraw the application for a public-private partnership. Mr. Berrell gave history
of the LLRC and shared their goals, stating they took feedback from the Park Commission, City Council,
and noted many residents supported the project but wanted to find an alternative location. The LLRC
incorporated a host of public amenities for use by the public in the plans. Mr. Berrell shared a timeline of
events including interactions with residents, social media misrepresentation, and the LLRC’s welcoming
of engagement with the community on the project. He corrected some of the misinformation on the
Dayton Family letter, taking over the swim beach, the lake, the park, the parking lot, and other
information presented on social media regarding the LLRC. Mr. Berrell respectfully asked that the
LLRC’s fees be refunded. Mr. Berrell’s full statement will be attached to the meeting’s packet for the
record.

LA21-000077 - PKA ARCHITECTURE O/B/O LONG LAKE ROWING CREW - FEE WAIVER
REQUEST/REIMBURSEMENT OF COSTS – Continued
Crosby asked what the fee total is.
Johnson replied in the packet it says $1,500 for the various fees.
Mayor Walsh noted with the school next door, when they added the activity center, he was a proponent of
waiving the building fee and was overruled by the City Council as it would set precedent. He appreciates
what the LLRC does, especially for kids, but thinks that precedent is where the issue lies.
Johnson moved, Crosby seconded, to deny LA21-000077, Fee Waiver Request/Reimbursement of
Costs. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0.
17. LA22-000002 – JIM HILLIER, 1245 ARBOR STREET, SUBDIVISION – SKETCH PLAN
Community Development Director Barnhart stated the Applicant has submitted a sketch plan to subdivide
a property which is .64 acres in a 2 acre zone. To approve a subdivision, the City Council would either
need to approve variances or approve a Comprehensive Plan Zoning Map Amendment to make the
property conforming. Staff does not support either option and the Planning Commission concurred with
those comments.
Jim Hillier, Applicant, 1224 Arbor Street, is looking to subdivide the property next door to his existing
home to accomplish some goals of the Comp Plan, noting his personal opinion that the area was not
intended to be zoned a 2 acre urban estate; rather, it was a neighborhood, with City Hall, Art Center, and
Hill School. He bought the property in 2018 to subdivide and that is why he is present this evening.
Mayor Walsh noted he met with Mr. Hillier and his wife at the property to go over every angle they could
see. He stated this is the third precedent-setting conversation the City Council is having tonight. Even
though the parcels came together in a very interesting circumstance, to allow people to divide lots which
are not compatible with zoning would set precedent across the entire City.
Johnson and Crosby agreed.
18. BIG ISLAND DOCK LICENSE REQUEST – JOE THULL
Joe Thull, Applicant, was present.
Staff presented a summary packet of information. Community Development Director Barnhart reminded
the City Council of an application received the previous fall to utilize a newly created dock licensing
program in which the City would install a dock and license it out to an inland Big Island property owner
so they would have access to their property. Over the winter, Mr. Barnhart worked with the Lake
Minnetonka Conservation District (LMCD) to gain a license which was approved by the LMCD on
February 23, 2022. Mr. Thull has asked for a license for one boat storage unit of a 10x20 foot area and
would then connect through the right-of-way system to Mr. Thull’s property. Seven dock locations were
identified the previous fall and Mr. Thull requested Big Island dock site six.
Crosby asked Mr. Thull if he has reasonable access from dock six to the property.

Page 5 of 8
BIG ISLAND DOCK LICENSE REQUEST – JOE THULL – Continued
Mr. Thull replied in the affirmative, noting it is a straight pathway and connects to the interior roads.
Johnson made it clear in the past that it is important to him that the City does not have an expense. In his
mind they are bending over backwards to help create a solution. He sees in the packet that along with 15
years of dock installation and storage the City’s investment is about $34,905 and he is not in support of
any taxpayer money going to subsidize a dock that only allows for one slip. The burden of expense must
fall completely on the dock user. Johnson asked to understand the $12,000 expense for engineering and
surveying with Bolton and Menk.
Barnhart replied in the application with the LMCD the City was required to provide a survey. They
surveyed three dock sites to mark boundaries and generated a document; unfortunately through his own
interpretation of the LMCD rules he had to update the document a couple of times. That is where the
expense comes from.
Edwards noted the initial survey was about 84 hours of effort for three access points and the adjoining
right-of-way network.
Johnson walked through the various expenses associated with the site, noting the City investment is
approximately $8,500, including $1,000 each year for installation and removal. Johnson’s proposal is that
the Applicant must cover the City costs and also a yearly fee.
Mayor Walsh replied it would be like going out and renting a slip at a marina on the lake, which would be
approximately $7,500 for the summer.
Crosby agrees they need to focus on recuperating costs and packing in a generous depreciation rate.
The City Council discussed the item, including potential fees, dates for application, and the first option to
renew.
Crosby thinks around $6,000 per year is a good number, noting at a marina one receives electricity and
other amenities. He stated by the second year the City would be positive in costs.
Attorney Mattick stated tonight they are looking for direction regarding the language of the license
agreement and it will be brought back before the City Council.
Alice Reinmann, 440 Big Island, asked to speak. She represents her husband John and neighbors Jeff and
Olivia Hornig at 450 Big Island. Both families are on either side of the access point being considered this
evening. After much misinformation, they now understand that the dock is to be 20 feet long and 3 feet
wide and that the Thull lot is an unimproved, inland lot with no access to water or sewer and without a
structure. The Reinmanns and Hornigs have been misled and misdirected multiple times. In the fall they
were assured all seven right-of-way locations were being surveyed which did not happen. The Hornigs
attended a City Council meeting in 2021 opposing access for the dock and at the meeting they were told
by the mayor that he was unsure why they attended the meeting because their side of the island was not
being considered for access. The Hornigs asked why the Minnetonka Squadron was not brought up as a
viable solution for the Thulls and landlocked owners as there is a clear path to walk to their property. This
option costs the City zero time, zero money, zero maintenance, and removes safety issues for pathways to

the property. Ms. Reinmann was also made aware of numerous meetings in 2021 in which neighbors
voiced opposition to this request. At that time the Council directed the interested parties to develop an
agreeable solution and at no time were the Reinmanns involved in the process. In response the City
Council developed a licensing program for the island property owners to use space on City docks to
access their lot. Ms. Reinmann stated she audited and listened to the LMCD meeting on February 9 and
many issues were brought up at that meeting prior to the approval. Members brought up many questions
including the lack of sanitary services at the location, and Ms. Reinmann stated the restrooms at Veterans
Park are a 20 minute walk and not feasible or reasonable place for personal use. The LMCD rules state
that a City dock must have toilet facilities. Regarding fire safety, the LMCD brought up that the property
has no direct water on site and should the property owner have a bonfire that gets out of control there is
no way of stopping that forest fire from taking the entire island down. She and her husband personally
helped extinguish two fires on the island the previous, noting there would have been a tragic outcome
with multiple cabins being lost if they were not on hand. Ms. Reinmann also questions the motives of the
property owner, noting he bought the property for $9,000 and pays just over $100 in annual taxes. As of
February 18, 2022, Mr. Barnhart had not received or seen any building permit request for the owner of
480 Big Island. She noted the 90 foot wide right-of-way access point with easier access and flat terrain
already developed for others who were issued permits in the year 2000 has not been applied for or
surveyed. Ms. Reinmann asked why this access point is not being surveyed and considered for the Thulls
and others. Upon inspection on March 9, 2022 the 90 foot access point had not been surveyed and she
found out this evening that only three of the seven access points were surveyed. Ms. Reinmann is not
interested in pitting neighbors against neighbors and she asked if all access points have been thoroughly
vetted? The access to the dock location under consideration tonight is not easy and the City will have to
remove several beautiful cedar trees directly on the rocky shoreline. Ms. Reinmann noted this decision is
precedent-setting and asked if the City has a plan to give access to the fourteen other unimproved
properties in the middle of the island. She summarized the points she brought up this evening and asked
that more work be done to deny or defer the decision until there is a plan as there will be other Applicants.
Ms. Reinmann apologized for missing the public comment period earlier in the evening. She stated
another property owner on the island took down trees and there is now a 100 yard long by 15 foot high
pile of debris from the tree removal. It is a fire hazard and she will be reporting that to the Fire Chief in
Orono.
Rick Parsons, 280 Big Island, asked why they did not use the 50 foot access at Bay Place which would
take very little improvement as it is flat and would be a shorter route to the Thull property.
Mayor Walsh replied he has walked every site and they have had many discussions about them all.
Mr. Parsons does not understand why they would spend so much money on improvement.
Barnhart noted the challenge with BI4 (which was not applied for) is the property lines converge in the
lake so would require a variance to put a dock there.
Johnson clarified that spot did not meet the LMCD rules for putting in a dock.
Aleya Champlin, 210 Big Island, would like to put on the record regarding BI4 that there is a judicial
decree indicating that Bay Place Road is no longer there as half of the road was given to her property and
half to the adjacent property.

Suzy Thiss, 270 Big Island, asked regarding the $12,000 for the survey, did that include the surveys of all
paths on the island?
Edwards replied it was not all of the paths but a number of them.
Ms. Thiss noted the paths are wetted out from the ATVs and motorized vehicles on the island. She asked
what the ordinances are on the island regarding ATVs as it is turning into an ATV park.
Mayor Walsh stated Mr. Edwards can get her the information on ordinances on the island. He clarified
that there has always been a dock available at that location for the last 50 years and the people there could
have put a dock in at any time but did not. He noted the City is not creating something new.
Ms. Reinmann stated the cabin that is on her property had been using it since the early 1900’s.
Mayor Walsh again noted the City is not creating anything as there has always been the ability to have a
dock there.
Ms. Reinmann said if the dock will be put in position it needs to be moved over.
Johnson replied Ms. Reinmann needs to talk to the LMCD because they are the ones that approved the
dock permit with their required setbacks.
Mayor Walsh noted those things can only be changed at the LMCD level as the City only applied for a
permit based on their rules. That is where the dock goes because that is how the LMCD approved it.
20. RESOLUTION SUPPORTING HOUSING AND LOCAL DECISION-MAKING
AUTHORITY – RESOLUTION NO. 7258
Community Development Director Barnhart noted at the last meeting the City Council asked him to
provide information regarding legislation relating to affordable housing. There are some bill proposals
trying to mandate higher density in the area and there are a number of concerns which would come from
the State and apply to the City. The League of Minnesota Cities is putting out a draft resolution and
asking the cities to approve it, which basically says while they recognize the concern or issue of
affordable housing, they do not think it is appropriate for a City to give up local government control
where elected officials would make decisions for a local neighborhood.
Mayor Walsh clarified that legislature wants to take some of the decision-making processes the City has
about putting higher-density projects in and take that out of the City’s hands. At that point the State could
tell the City that they will put an apartment complex in a location within the City and the City has no
choice regarding the matter. Communities all around Orono are signing the same letter Mr. Barnhart
referenced and he stated the City of Orono is on board with signing the letter.
Crosby moved, Johnson seconded, to approve Resolution #7258, Resolution Supporting Housing
and Local Decision-Making Authority. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 0.

Edwards shared a presentation of street maintenance for 2022 including mill-and-overlay projects and a
smaller list of reclaim projects. The City received seven bids and the low big was from Aztec Corporation
for $821,287.40. Also in the packet is a proposal from Bolton and Menk for construction oversight.

MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Johnson stated the transparency issue he keeps hearing is bothering him as it is not the government’s job
to knock on someone’s door and tell people what their rights are in and around their property. Instead,
people must take an active role in finding those things out. He sees a lot of transparency within the City
and is tired of people making those statements.

Background. On December 29, 2017 Officer Jami Wittke while employed as a police officer
and on duty reported to have injured her back. On April 17, 2018, Officer J. Wittke returned to
work with no limitation.
After meeting with Officer J. Wittke in November 2021, Officer J. Wittke advised she couldn’t
come back to work as a patrol officer and her last day of work would be December 26, 2021. It
was on this date that was when her investigation assignment was completed and was to return to
patrol duties. Officer J. Wittke was advised and sent a letter in reference to Family Medical
Leave Notice indicating to report to work for duties related to police officer on December 26,
2021. Failing to do so Officer J. Wittke was placed on Family Medical Leave and advised that
after 12 weeks of not being able to return may result in termination.
Officer J. Wittke has not been able to return to work. The 12 weeks of FMLA has been
exhausted as of March 20, 2022.
The following recommendation carries with it my continued best wishes in the treatment of
Officer J. Wittke’s injuries. I wish her continued strength and a hope for a full recovery.
Staff Recommendation. I recommend termination of Officer Jami Wittke

Questions? Thank you for all
your support!
1. Purpose. The purpose of this council action is to gain council approval to partner with the Long Lake
Waters Association (LLWA) on a project to improve the water quality in the Long Lake Creek
Subwatershed by removing carp from Long Lake. (Exhibit A)
2. Background. In April of 2016, the Orono City Council passed a resolution to partner with other
governmental agencies to explore opportunities to pursue grants in order to improve water quality in the
Lang Lake Subwatershed.
In 2021, the LLWA conducted a study and created a removal plan for carp in Long Lake. The study showed
that the carp population in Long Lake is close to 7000. This is over two times the amount of carp that the
lake can support without damage to the ecosystem. A previous study showed carp migration happens in the
spring. The proposed removal plan to be conducted April thru May 2022 (Exhibit B) would take advantage
of the annual migration.
3. Scope of Work. The project proposed is in two steps. In step one, the temporary barriers will be
installed in the creek and the movement of carp will be monitored as carp are removed by electrofishing
for two days. In the second step, electrofishing will continue for four days with the goal of removing at
least 2900 carp.
4. Cost. The total estimated cost of the two phases is not to exceed $25,000. The city’s share of the total
project cost would be $5,000.00.
5. Funding. Funding for the project will come from the Stormwater Management Fund as part of the
City’s goal to reduce TMDL’s.
6. Staff Recommendation. Staff recommends the city consider participation. The data gained from the
project will assist in determining the extent of the carp issue and may be used in securing grant moneys for
further larger scale removals; the project can be used to show progress toward meeting the City’s assigned
TMDL goals and the project is in keeping with the City’s desire to partner on water quality efforts.

and stirring up phosphorus which decreases water clarity and promotes algae growth; and
WHEREAS, Long Lake, Medina, the Minnehaha Creek Watershed and the Long Lake Waters
Association wish to remove Carp from Long Lake; and
WHEREAS, The City of Orono’s participation in this project can be used to show progress
towards meeting the established TMDL allocation;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Orono, Minnesota
that the City Council does hereby partner with other intergovernmental agencies and nongovernmental
organizations for the removal of carp from Long Lake to improve water quality in the Long Lake Creek
Subwatershed and will contribute $5,000.00 to the project.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Orono, Minnesota at a regular meeting held March 28, 2022.

Request for financial support of carp removal during the spring 2022
Carp Solutions- University of Minnesota
Project Background
One of the key drivers of the poor water quality in the Long Lake Creek Watershed is the
overabundance of invasive carp. These aggressive, non-native fish drive out native species like
walleye and bluegill, and destroy the habitat for beneficial aquatic plants. They stir up phosphorus
that decreases water clarity and promotes algae growth.
With support from the Long Lake Waters Association (LLWA) members, the Orono Lions Club and
the cities of Long Lake and Medina, we have been working on the management of carp in Long
Lake for the past four years. Our efforts to understand migration patterns and quantify the
population of carp have allowed us to develop a detailed plan to remove enough carp this spring
to achieve an ecologically safe level.
We are working with Carp Solutions, a University of Minnesota company that specializes in
innovative technologies for invasive fish management, focusing on the common carp. The carp
population in Long Lake is close to 7000, based on the most accurate data gathered in 2021.
This number is 2X the level that damages the ecosystem. The majority of the carp in the lake
are +22 inches long and weigh 10 lbs.
The good news is that migration of carp into Long Lake is limited, so if we can remove an
additional 2,900 carp in spring of 2022, we will reach the goal of less than 90 lbs. per acre, which
is the threshold for minimal impact on lake ecosystems. Each spring, about 80% of the carp
migrate up Long Lake Creek in the NE area of the lake. These carp are blocked by the man-made
dam constructed just below County Road 6. This scenario creates an opportunity to remove large
numbers of carp in the spring as they aggregate in the creek below the barrier. Because Long
Lake is dominated by large carp and production of young carp is relatively low, removal of adult
carp in the spring is expected to be long-lasting (i.e. removed carp are unlikely to be replaced by
increased production of young carp).
The Watershed
Long Lake Creek Watershed with its 7,619 acres and seven lakes is a valuable local treasure
and it is also the headwater for Lake Minnetonka and Minnehaha Creek, which in turn flows into
the Mississippi River.
Many Minnesota residents and visitors enjoy these local lakes, streams and wetlands for
fishing, boating, birding, swimming and hiking, but many don’t know that the Long Lake Creek
watershed is seriously degraded, and its problems are impacting the downstream water bodies.
It is imperative that we use current scientific data available to initiate projects that will protect
and improve the water quality in the watershed.
Request
C arp Solutions has provided a proposal for the planned carp removal in the Long Lake Creek.
This removal effort will likely occur in April-May 2022, depending on when the carp began to
migrate and move up the creek.
They have proposed the effort in two steps. In step one, the temporary barriers will be installed
in the creek and the movement of carp will be monitored as carp are removed by electrofishing
for two days. In the second step, electrofishing will continue for four days with the goal of
removing at least 2900 carp and achieving the desired safe level of 90 lbs. per acre in the
lake.
We are asking for your help in funding this project. The cost of phase one is $9,774, and the
cost of phase two is $14,160, with a total cost of $25,000. We would like to ask the City to
contribute $5,000 to support this valuable work.
LLWA will match any funds contributed up to $12,500, and hope that we can count on your
support. We would like to set up a meeting with you to discuss this proposal and will reach out
to set up a time that is mutually convenient. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or
for more information.
Respectfully,
Long Lake Waters Association

Proposal for carp removal during spring migration upstream of Long Lake in Orono MN
January 21th, 2022
Prepared For: Jane
Davidson LLWA
Prepared by:
Carp Solutions LLC
www.carpsolutionsmn.com
Data collected in previous years showed that a large number (~80%) of common carp
that inhabit Long Lake migrate each spring up the creek that flows into the lake from the north
(stream inlet is located in the NE area of the lake). These carp are blocked by the man-made
dam constructed just below County Road 6. This scenario creates an opportunity to remove
large numbers of carp in the spring as they aggregate in the creek below the barrier. Our work
conducted in 2021 suggested that 2,900 carp need to be removed to reduce carp biomass in
Long Lake to less than 100 kg/ha, which is a management threshold at which water quality and
diversity of Navarre aquatic plants may improve. Data collected in 2021 also showed that Long
Lake is dominated by large carp that are at least several years old suggesting that production of
young carp in that system is relatively low. Thus, removal of adult carp in the spring is expected
to be long-lasting (i.e. removed carp are unlikely to be replaced by increased production of young
carp).
We propose a 2-phase approach for removing common carp from the inlet creek in the spring
of 2022.
Phase I ($9,774) will include
1. Installation of a temporary physical fence that will be used as a “gate” that can be closed
trapping the carp that aggregate in the stream so they can be confined and removed,
2. installation of a PIT antenna that can be used to remotely monitor the presence of carp in the
stream and report that to a website so we can mobilize quickly to arrive on site and remove the
carp
3. Two days of carp removal in the stream using backpack electrofishers. This will allow us to
estimate the feasibility of this effort and we will also examine the carp for tags to determine if
our population estimate is still valid.
Phase II ($14,160) will include
1. Four additional days of carp removal
2. Running the PIT antenna for an additional month.
3. Data analysis and report.
Overall, we are proposing 6-days for carp removal as we expect daily removal rates to be ~500
carp.
At the conclusion of the effort we will provide a report summarizing our results including the
number of carp removed, their biomass, and biomass of carp still remaining in the lake.
The work would occur between early April and early June 2022, which is the carp migration
season.
Budget is presented below.
