COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT
26. LA-2025-000051, 4680 North Shore Drive, Variance
The City Council is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss and deny the
variance for a rear setback for an oversized accessory building for an addition to an existing 1,008 square
foot garage. The addition would not increase hardscape as it would be over the existing driveway. Staff
noted the property is unique, and this would be an expansion of a legal non-conforming building, but did
not find a hardship. The Planning Commission was split on the issue.
The Council discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant representative, Ron
Ungerman, Ungerman, Inc., Plymouth, who explained the property owner is a commercial fisherman and
needs a deeper garage so boats can be stored inside. The renovations to the existing unfinished upper level
would be for a home office and workout space.
The City Council discussed the request, noting the building was already non-conforming and expanding
to accommodate longer vehicles would set a precedent. Others pointed out that the addition would not
impact hardcover and would keep winter storage of boats out of view.
Benson moved, Ricks seconded, to direct staff to prepare a resolution for denial of LA-2025-000051
variance. VOTE: Ayes 2, Nays 3 (Persian, Tunheim, and Schwingler).
Schwingler moved, Persian seconded to direct staff to prepare a resolution for approval of LA-
2025-000051 variance. VOTE: Ayes 3, Nays 2 (Benson and Ricks).

TBD March TBD Land Use Code Review City Hall Community Development Director
3.Process:
The work session dates and times are set by the city's official meeting calendar, which the staff
presents and the council approves in the November timeframe for the following year. Historically,
the city has scheduled two hours per month for work sessions. Sometimes that has been one, two-
hour session per month with more recent schedules having two, one-hour sessions per month.
These regularly scheduled meetings have then been augmented by special meetings to cover
specific topics that do not fit within the regular schedule, or require additional time to adequately
cover a given topic.
4.Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the next work session proceed as scheduled. If the Council would like to
adjust the schedule, please provide that guidance and staff will make the necessary changes.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Consider a motion to approve the work session schedule.

Title: Annual Appointments - Resolution 7656
1.Purpose:
Appoint city officials and duties.
2.Background:
The framework of services we provide is directed by a law or rule and tends to be cyclical and
predictable. Cities are required by laws and other authorities to complete certain tasks ahead of
specific deadlines. The League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) provides a calendar of important dates
as an easy to follow guide.
Tasks include formally and publicly assigning city officials to groups that steer the direction,
vision, and goals of the city, like commissions, boards, committees. Another important task is to
list where city funds are deposited for transparency and avoiding conflicts of interest.
The attached resolution provides a list of each duty, the authority it is directed by, and the
proposed appointment or designation.
3.Staff Recommendation:
Approve appointments for 2026.

Presenter: Christine Lusian, City Clerk
Section: Consent Agenda
Title: Contract - Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Funding - Resolution
7658
1.Purpose:
This action confirms the city’s agreement to comply with county residential recycling
requirements.
2.Background:
Garbage collection services are subject to state solid waste management tax; the state shares this
revenue with counties and then counties share it with cities to help with residential recycling,
compostable organics recycling or drop-off, as well as public outreach related to waste reduction
and recycling.
Hennepin County requires all cities to formally approve the Residential Waste Reduction and
Recycling Funding Policy in support of county residential recycling requirements to remain
eligible for recycling funding for 2026, 2027, and 2028. The policy sets the rules for how recycling
funds are distributed to cities for the next three years, requires cities to meet certain recycling,
education, and reporting standards, and outlines how funds can be used for recycling, organics,
and waste reduction programs.
This does not create a new waste reduction program, it simply confirms Orono's continued
participation in the county’s existing funding system (see the previous 2022-2025 policy).
3.Cost:
Approval of the Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Funding Policy is necessary for the
city to remain eligible for this funding for the 2026–2028 period. Funding to Orono for 2025 is
contingent on 2024 reporting and the amount Hennepin County receives in state funds (Select
Committee on Recycling and the Environment or SCORE) this year. Orono’s previous agreement
with county recycling policy requirements allowed the city to receive the following funding:
• 2024 - $20,225.94
• 2023 - $17,037.12
• 2022 - $19,405.47
• 2021 - $16,982.99
• 2020 - $17,974.00
4.Staff Recommendation:
Support compliance with the policy by resolution and contract.
AGENDA ITEM
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Consider a motion to 1) Approve the 2026–2028 Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Funding
Policy by resolution 7658; and 2) Authorize the required contract with Hennepin County.

I. Policy Overview
A. Background
The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners has determined that residential waste reduction
and recycling programs support county goals to make progress toward zero waste, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, and eliminate disparities associated with waste disposal. The county
has adopted the goals established in State Statute and by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (MPCA) in its Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Policy Plan and developed a
Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling Funding Policy to help reach a 75% recycling rate by
2030.
B. SCORE funds
The county receives funding from the state’s Select Committee on Recycling and the
Environment (SCORE) for the development and implementation of waste reduction and
recycling programs. SCORE funds are based on revenue received by the State of Minnesota from
the solid waste management tax (SWMT) on garbage services and are subject to change based
on the SWMT revenue received by the state and funds allocated by the legislature.
C. Support for city programs
City recycling programs play an important role in the county’s integrated solid waste
management system. The county has funded city recycling programs for over 30 years and will
use this policy to make available all SCORE funds to cities for residential waste reduction and
recycling programs. SCORE funds will be dedicated to four different purposes: 1) general
funding for waste reduction and recycling programs, 2) curbside organics recycling programs, 3)
organics drop-off sites, and 4) multifamily waste reduction and recycling. Funds distributed to
cities for a calendar year will be based on SCORE funds received by the county in the state’s
corresponding fiscal year.
D. Term of the policy
Hennepin County is committed to implementing this policy from January 1, 2026, through
December 31, 2028. The county may revise this policy to align with strategic priorities developed
in the zero-waste plan or solid waste management plan. In addition, the county may revise this
policy, if it determines changes are needed to assure compliance with state law and MPCA goals
established for metropolitan counties. If SCORE funds are eliminated from the state budget or
significantly reduced, the county will consult with cities at that time and develop a
recommendation to the board on future funding for residential waste reduction and recycling
programs.
51
3
E. Grant agreements
Each city seeking funding under the terms of the Residential Waste Reduction and Recycling
Funding Policy must enter into a grant agreement with the county for a term concurrent with
the expiration of this policy, December 31, 2028. The grant agreement must be accompanied by
a resolution authorizing the city to enter into such an agreement. If cities form a joint powers
organization responsible for waste reduction and recycling programs, the county will enter into
a grant agreement with that entity and distribute funds to that organization.
II. Allocation of Funds
SCORE funds will be dedicated to the following purposes:
• General funding for waste reduction and recycling programs
• Curbside organics recycling programs
• Organics drop-off sites
• Multifamily waste reduction and recycling
A. Waste reduction and recycling programs
The county will dedicate 40% of SCORE funds to provide funding for city waste reduction and
recycling programs. For the purposes of this policy, city waste reduction and recycling programs
include organics recycling. Funds will be allocated based on number of eligible households with
curbside recycling service. The following formula will be used to calculate a city’s grant amount.
Number of eligible households with curbside recycling in city -------------------------------
Total number of eligible households with curbside recycling in county
x
40% of SCORE funds available
=
Waste reduction
and recycling
grant amount
available to the
city
Eligible households are defined as households in single family through fourplex residential
buildings or other residential buildings where each household has its own recycling collection
container to set out for curbside collection. The number of eligible households will be
determined by counting the number of eligible households on January 1 of each funding year.
The city will report the number in its application for funding.
52
4
B. Curbside organics recycling programs
The county will dedicate 50% of SCORE funds to provide funding for curbside organics recycling
programs. Funds will be allocated using participation targets for each city. Funding is not
contingent upon meeting the participation target. The following formula will be used to
calculate a city’s grant amount.
Target number of households with curbside organics recycling in city -------------------------------
Total target number of households with curbside organics recycling in county
x
50% of SCORE funds available
=
Curbside organics
recycling grant
amount available
to the city
The county will provide a minimum grant of $3,300 per city for curbside organics recycling programs. Participation targets (as a percent of households with curbside recycling service):
• 60% for cities that contract for organics recycling service
• 30% for cities that require haulers to offer organics recycling service C. Organics drop-off sites
The county will dedicate $3,300 per eligible city to provide funding for organics drop-off site
expenses. Cities with an organics drop-off and a population of less than 10,000 are eligible.
E. Multifamily waste reduction and recycling
The county will take 10% of SCORE funds, subtract the amount allocated to organics drop-off
sites, and dedicate the remainder to provide funding for multifamily waste reduction and
recycling programs. For the purposes of this policy, city waste reduction and recycling programs
include organics recycling. Funds will be allocated based on the number of multifamily
households. The following formula will be used to calculate a city’s grant amount.
Number of multifamily households in city -------------------------------
Total number of multifamily households in county
x
10% of SCORE funds available minus organics drop-off funds
=
Multifamily
waste reduction
and recycling
grant amount
available to the
city
53
5
If cities do not apply for available multifamily grant funds, the unclaimed funds will be re-
allocated to the cities that applied in proportion to the number of multifamily households in
those cities.
Multifamily households in cities with organized recycling collection are defined as 1) households
in buildings where each household does not have its own recycling collection container to set
out for curbside collection, or 2) households in buildings that do not receive recycling collection
service through the city, including apartment buildings, condominiums, townhomes, and
cooperative housing units where a property manager or association coordinates collection
service. Multifamily households in cities with open recycling collection are defined as
households in residential buildings larger than a fourplex.
III. Application for Funding
A. General program and curbside organics application
To receive funding for waste reduction and recycling programs and curbside organics recycling,
each city must complete an annual grant application by February 15 of that year. The application
consists of a web-based report that requests the following: contract, program, tonnage, and
financial information. The participation rate for the curbside recycling program must also be
included in the web-based report. The city must calculate its participation rate during the month
of October. The methodology for measuring participation must be provided to the county upon
request. The county may request additional information, such as a planning document with a
description of activities the city will implement to increase recycling and make progress toward
county objectives.
B. Organics drop-off sites and multifamily supplementary application
To receive funding for organics drop-off sites and multifamily waste reduction and recycling, a
city must submit a supplementary grant application form annually. The county will provide this
form by February 15, and the city must complete it by March 15 of that year.
IV. Use of Funds
A. Conditions applying to all funds
The following requirements apply to the use of all funds:
1. Funds must be expended on eligible activities per Minnesota Statutes §115A.557.
54
6
2. All grant funds accepted from the county must be used in the year granted unless the
county agrees to an exception. The county will not provide any funds in excess of actual
expenses. Funds not spent must be returned to the county.
3. A city or joint powers organization may not charge its residents through property tax,
utility fees, waste fees, environmental fees, or any other method for the portion of its
waste reduction and recycling program costs that are funded by county grant funds.
4. Cities must track expenditures for waste reduction and recycling programs, curbside
organics recycling, organics drop-off sites, and multifamily waste reduction and recycling
and establish accounting mechanisms to provide the information requested in the
financial section of the annual grant application.
5. Waste reduction and recycling activities, revenues, and expenditures are subject to audit.
B. Curbside organics use of funds
Curbside organics grant funds may be used for program expenses, including the following:
• Incentives for participation (service discounts, countertop pails, compostable bags)
• City contract costs
• Education and outreach
• Carts
• Other expenses approved by the county
Yard waste expenses are not eligible. If organics are co-collected with other waste, the organics
expenses must be tracked separately. If a city passes funds through to a hauler, 100% of those
funds must be credited to residents’ bills.
C. Organics drop-off sites use of funds
Organics drop-off site grant funds may be used for program expenses, including the following:
• Hauling and disposal
• Dumpsters or carts
• Site construction
• Education and outreach
• Incentives for participation (countertop pails, compostable bags)
• Other expenses approved by the county
D. Multifamily waste reduction and recycling use of funds
Cities that choose to apply for multifamily waste reduction and recycling funding will work with
55
7
the county to identify eligible activities that are customized to the city’s goals and needs. These
activities will be determined through the supplementary grant application process.
Multifamily resources provided by the county, including reusable tote bags/baskets and
multifamily specific signs and labels, are not eligible expenses.
V. City Requirements
A. Materials accepted
A city’s curbside collection program must accept a list of mixed recyclables as selected by the
county in consultation with haulers, local material recovery facilities, and end markets. The
county will update the list of materials as needed, distribute the list to city recycling
coordinators, and post the list on the county’s website.
B. Education and outreach
The partnership between the county and cities has been highly effective in educating residents
and motivating behavior change. To continue this partnership and increase these efforts, city
waste reduction, recycling and organics recycling activities must be coordinated with county and
regional efforts. Municipalities must adhere to the following requirements:
1. Use county terminology on promotional and educational materials when describing
recycling and organics recycling guidelines, including the description of materials
accepted and not accepted, as well as when describing preparation guidelines.
2. Use images approved by the county if using images of mixed recyclables and organic
materials.
3. Provide the following information on the city’s website:
• Recycling and organics recycling materials accepted and not accepted
• Curbside collection calendar
• Contact information for the city’s recycling coordinator
• Links to city recycling resources and programs
• Organics drop-off site(s) information
• Links to county recycling resources and programs
4. Provide a guide on recycling and organics recycling to residents each year. The guide
shall contain information on curbside collection, materials accepted and not accepted,
organics drop off site information (if applicable), and a curbside collection calendar.
56
8
5.Complete two or more waste reduction, recycling and organics recycling educational
activities annually that include the promotion of curbside collection. The county will
provide a list of activities to city recycling coordinators. These activities are in addition to
the provision of an annual guide.
6.If a city develops its own educational materials, does not use a template produced by the
county, does not utilize design services offered by the county, or relies on a hauler toprovide an annual guide, then the city must submit the materials to the county forapproval.
C. Waste reduction and recycling performance
On an annual basis, cities must demonstrate that a reasonable effort has been made to improve
waste reduction and recycling programs. If a city does not demonstrate measurable progress, a
waste reduction and recycling improvement plan must be submitted by the city within 90 days
of being notified by the county. The waste reduction and recycling improvement plan must be
negotiated with the county and specify the efforts that will be undertaken by the city to improve
its program to yield the results necessary to achieve county objectives. In cooperation with the
county, the city may be required to participate in waste sorts and community engagement to
identify strategies to improve waste reduction and recycling outcomes.
D. Cities of the first class
Cities of the first class must comply with the county’s measurable performance standards and report recycling rates and compliance rates to the county annually by February 15 and semi-annually thereafter. Cities of the first class must also report bi-annually on specific steps for implementation that address the county's priorities.
The county will determine annually whether the cities have implemented and satisfied
performance standards. If the cities do not implement and satisfy the performance standards, a
waste reduction and recycling improvement plan must be submitted by the city within 60 days
of being notified by the county. The improvement plan must specify the efforts the city will take
to implement and satisfy the performance standards identified by the county. The improvement
plan must be negotiated with the county and approved by the county. If the county does not
approve the improvement plan, then SCORE funding will be withheld.
VI. Grant Payments
The county will make two payments to cities each year. Those two payments will provide the
sum of each city’s total grant amount for general waste reduction and recycling programs,
curbside organics recycling programs, organics drop-off sites, and multifamily waste reduction
and recycling. One payment will be made after the county receives the applications for funding.
A second payment will be made after basic program requirements, education and outreach
57
9
requirements, and performance have been confirmed and approved. If the city meets the county
requirements, both payments will be made during the same calendar year.
Cities are expected to fulfill the conditions of this policy and the requirements of the county’s
Ordinance 13. It is the responsibility of each city to meet the requirements of Ordinance 13.
The implementation of the county requirements for cities shall be the responsibility of each
respective city. If any city fails to establish or implement any or all of the city requirements in
Ordinance 13, all SCORE funding will be withheld until the city meets the requirements or a
waste reduction and recycling improvement plan is negotiated with the county.

59
Grant Form 101 (Revised 9/2025)
2
distributed to municipalities for the current calendar year will be based on SCORE funds
received by the COUNTY in the state’s corresponding fiscal year.
The COUNTY will make two payments to the GRANTEE, according to the provisions
set forth below. Those two payments will provide the sum of each city’s total grant
amount for general waste reduction and recycling programs, curbside organics recycling
programs, organics drop-off sites, and multifamily waste reduction and recycling. One
payment will be made after COUNTY receives the applications for funding from
GRANTEE. A second payment will be made after basic program requirements, education
and outreach requirements, and performance have been confirmed and approved. If
GRANTEE meets the requirements, both payments will be made during the same
calendar year.
A. Waste reduction and recycling programs
COUNTY will dedicate 40% of SCORE funds to provide funding for city waste
reduction and recycling programs. The following formula will be used to calculate
GRANTEE’s waste reduction and recycling grant amount.
Number of eligible households
with curbside recycling in city
--------------------------------------
Total number of eligible
households with curbside
recycling in county
x
40% of SCORE
funds available
=
Waste reduction
and recycling
grant amount
available to the
city
Eligible households are defined as households in single-family through fourplex
residential buildings or other residential buildings where each household has its
own recycling collection container to set out for curbside collection and receives
recycling collection service through the city. In cities with open recycling
collection, eligible households are defined as households in single-family through
fourplex residential buildings where each household has its own recycling
collection container to set out for curbside collection. The number of eligible
households will be determined by counting the number of eligible households on
January 1 of each funding year. GRANTEE will report the number to COUNTY
in its annual application for funding.
B. Curbside organics recycling programs
COUNTY will dedicate 50% of SCORE funds to provide funding for curbside
organics recycling programs. Funds will be allocated using participation targets
for each eligible city. Funding is not contingent upon meeting the participation
target. The following formula will be used to calculate GRANTEE’s curbside
organics recycling grant amount.

-----------------------------------
Total number of households with
curbside organics recycling in
county
x
50% of SCORE
funds available
=
Curbside organics
recycling grant
amount available to
the city
Initial participation targets (as a percent of households with curbside recycling
service):
60% for cities that contract for organics recycling service
30% for cities that require haulers to offer organics recycling service
COUNTY will provide a minimum grant of $3,300 per city for curbside organics
recycling programs.
C. Organics drop-off sites
COUNTY will dedicate up to $3,300 per eligible city to provide funding for
organics drop-off site expenses. Cities with a population of less than 10,000 are
eligible.
D. Multifamily waste reduction and recycling
COUNTY will take 10% of SCORE funds, subtract the amount allocated to
organics drop-off sites, and dedicate the remainder to provide funding for
multifamily waste reduction and recycling programs. For the purposes of this
policy, city multifamily waste reduction and recycling programs include organics
recycling. Funds will be allocated based on the number of multifamily
households. The following formula will be used to calculate GRANTEE’s
multifamily waste reduction and recycling grant amount.
Number of multifamily
households in city
--------------------------------------
Total number of multifamily
households in county
x
10% of SCORE
funds available
minus organics
drop-off funds
=
Multifamily waste
reduction and
recycling grant
amount available to
the city
If cities do not apply for available multifamily grant funds, the unclaimed funds
will be re-allocated to the cities that applied in proportion to the number of
multifamily households in those cities.
Multifamily households in cities with organized recycling collection are defined
as 1) households in buildings where each household does not have its own
recycling collection container to set out for curbside collection, or 2) households
in buildings that do not receive recycling collection service through the city,
61
Grant Form 101 (Revised 9/2025)
4
including apartment buildings, condominiums, townhomes, and cooperative
housing units where a property manager or association coordinates collection
service. Multifamily households in cities with open recycling collection are
defined as households in residential buildings larger than a fourplex.
E. Cities of the first class
Cities of the first class must comply with COUNTY’s measurable performance
standards and report recycling rates and compliance rates to the COUNTY semi-
annually beginning February 15, 2026, and every August 15 and February 15
thereafter during the term of this Agreement. Cities of the first class must also
report semi-annually beginning February 15, 2026, and every August 15 and
February 15 thereafter, on specific steps for implementation that address the
COUNTY’s priorities identified Board Action 25-0296 R2. COUNTY will
determine annually whether the cities have implemented and satisfied
performance standards. If the COUNTY finds that the cities have not
implemented or satisfied the performance standards, the city must submit a waste
reduction and recycling improvement plan to COUNTY within 60 days of being
notified by COUNTY. The improvement plan must specify the efforts the city
will take to implement and satisfy the performance standards identified by the
COUNTY. The improvement plan must be negotiated with COUNTY and
approved by COUNTY. If COUNTY does not approve the improvement plan,
then it will withhold SCORE funding.

resulting directly or indirectly from any act or omission of GRANTEE, a subcontractor,
anyone directly or indirectly employed by them, and/or anyone for whose acts and/or
omissions they may be liable in the performance of the Grant Requirements in this
Agreement, and against all loss by reason of the failure of GRANTEE to perform any
obligation under this Agreement. For clarification and not limitation, this obligation to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless includes but is not limited to any liability, claims or
actions resulting directly or indirectly from alleged infringement of any copyright or any
property right of another, the employment or alleged employment of GRANTEE
personnel, the unlawful disclosure and/or use of protected data, or other noncompliance

security, privacy or confidentiality laws, and shall also comply with the other
requirements of this Section.
Classification of data, including trade secret data, will be determined pursuant to
applicable law and, accordingly, merely labeling data as “trade secret” by
GRANTEE does not necessarily make the data protected as such under any
applicable law.
B. In addition to the foregoing MGDPA and other applicable law obligations,
GRANTEE shall comply with the following duties and obligations regarding
County Data and County Systems (as each term is defined herein). As used
herein, “County Data” means any data or information, and any copies thereof,
created by GRANTEE or acquired by GRANTEE from or through COUNTY
pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to handwriting, typewriting,
printing, photocopying, photographing, facsimile transmitting, and every other
means of recording any form of communication or representation, including
electronic media, email, letters, works, pictures, drawings, sounds, videos, or
symbols, or combinations thereof.
If GRANTEE has access to or possession/control of County Data, GRANTEE
shall safeguard and protect the County Data in accordance with generally
accepted industry standards, all laws, and all then applicable COUNTY policies,
procedures, rules and directions. To the extent of any inconsistency between
accepted industry standards and such COUNTY policies, procedures, rules and
directions, GRANTEE shall notify COUNTY of the inconsistency and follow
COUNTY direction. GRANTEE shall immediately notify COUNTY of any
known or suspected security breach or unauthorized access to County Data, then
comply with all responsive directions provided by COUNTY. The foregoing
shall not be construed as eliminating, limiting or otherwise modifying
GRANTEE’s indemnification obligations herein.

at any time, GRANTEE shall not be entitled to any Grant Funds except for
reimbursements duly invoiced for completed Grant Requirements pursuant to this

Section: Consent Agenda
Title: Election Write-In Vote Recording - Resolution 7657
1.Purpose:
This action sets a rule for counting write-in votes. Individual write-in candidates will only have
their votes recorded separately if write-in votes as a whole match or exceed the vote total of the
lowest-performing candidate listed on the ballot.
2.Background:
Recent changes to state law (Minn. Stat. § 204B.09, subdivision 3) now allows cities to set
reasonable limits to when write-in votes are counted, either by requiring a written request from the
candidate or by setting a vote threshold, so staff time is focused on write-in candidates who are
actually competitive.
The goal is to reduce the amount of time election staff spend recording write-in votes for
candidates who are not serious or legitimate. In practice, many write-in votes are for fictional
names or people who are not running. Recording each of those names takes significant staff time
without changing election outcomes. Under this approach, those votes would not need to be
individually recorded.
Write-in votes are still counted; this only affects whether individual write-in candidates are
recorded separately when the total number of write-ins is very low. If write-in votes are numerous
enough to matter, they are recorded individually. If they are not, they are reported as a total.
Federal, state, and county elections already require a written request before write-in votes are
counted. Adopting this resolution would align city election practices with those existing standards.
3.Staff Recommendation:
Adopt the resolution establishing a vote threshold option, because it avoids adding the extra filing
requirement for candidates while still ensuring that only serious and competitive write-in
candidates are recorded individually.
AGENDA ITEM
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Consider a motion adopting Resolution 7657 establishing that write-in votes for a specific candidate
would only be recorded separately if the total number of write-in votes for that office equals or exceeds
the lowest vote total of a listed ballot candidate.

RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING VOTE THRESHOLD
FOR RECORDING WRITE-IN CANDIDATES
WHEREAS, the city of Orono is authorized by Minnesota Statutes § 204B.09, subdivision 3, to
adopt a resolution governing the counting and recording of write-in votes for local office; and
WHEREAS, write-in votes are often cast for individuals who are not legitimate or serious
candidates, including fictional or non-existent persons; and
WHEREAS, recording write-in votes for such individuals requires significant staff time without
affecting election outcomes; and
WHEREAS, federal, state, and county elections require write-in candidates to file a written
request in order for their votes to be individually recorded; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds it reasonable and efficient to establish clear standards for
when write-in votes are individually recorded for city offices;
RESOLVED by the Orono City Council that:
1. Write-in votes cast for an individual candidate for a city office shall be individually
recorded only if the total number of write-in votes cast for that office is equal to or
greater than the fewest number of votes received by a non-write-in candidate whose name
appeared on the ballot for that office.
2. If the total number of write-in votes for an office does not meet this threshold, write-in
votes shall be reported in the aggregate and shall not be individually recorded by
candidate name.
3. This resolution applies to all city elections held after its adoption.
FURTHER, the City Clerk is authorized to implement this resolution and take any administrative
actions necessary to carry out its intent.

of the following findings of fact concerning the Property:
81
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7659

FINDINGS OF FACT:
A1. This application was reviewed as Zoning File LA25-000048. The analysis contained
within staff memos and the exhibits attached to the aforesaid memos, all minutes from
the above-mentioned meetings, and any and all other materials distributed at these
meetings are hereby incorporated by reference.
A2. The Property is located in the LR-1B, One-Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District.
A3. The Property is within Tier 2 and hardcover is limited to 30% according to the
Stormwater Quality Overlay District, and the Applicant is proposing 29.7% hardcover.
A4. The Applicant applied for a rear setback variance for an addition to an oversized
accessory building for the proposed project.
A5. The proposed addition, on the ground level only, is to provide sufficient interior storage
of boats and trailers too large for the existing garage dimensions.
A6. In considering this application for a variance, the Council has considered the advice and
recommendation of the Planning Commission and the effect of the proposed variances
upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values
of property in the surrounding area.
VARIANCE ANALYSIS:
B1. Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes
and intent of the ordinance; the intent of increased setbacks for oversized accessory
buildings is to limit the impacts of massing and to create additional separation between
buildings on adjacent properties. The proposed addition is confined to the ground level,
and is well screened by the existing conditions of the area; and
B2. Variances shall only be permitted when consistent with the comprehensive plan; the
variance to improve and add on to an existing accessory building supporting a
residential use in LR-1B zoning is consistent with the comprehensive plan; and
B3. Variances may be granted when the Applicant for the variance establishes that there are
practical difficulties in complying with the zoning ordinance. ‘Practical difficulties,’ as used in
connection with the granting of a variance, means that:
82
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7659

a. The property owner in question proposes to use the property in a reasonable
manner, however, the proposed use is not permitted by the official controls; the
property is permitted an oversized accessory building, despite the location of the
existing garage within the rear setback. The interior storage of larger boats and
trailers is a reasonable use of the garage and property; and
b. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not
created by the landowner; the building was constructed by a previous owner within
the rear setback of the property; and
c. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality; the
building has been in its present location for at least 30 years, and an addition to the
ground level only, where the increase in massing will be at a lower elevation that
surrounding properties, is not anticipated to impact the character of the area.
B4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties; economic
considerations do not impact the finding of practical difficulties with the Property; and
B5. Practical difficulties also include but are not limited to inadequate access to direct sunlight
for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as
defined in Minn. Stat. § 216C.06, subd. 2, when in harmony with Orono City Code Chapter
78; this condition is not applicable to the variance; and
B6. The board or the council may not permit as a variance any use that is not permitted under
Orono City Code Chapter 78 for property in the zone where the affected person's land is
located; oversized accessory buildings are permitted within the zone district. As a property
of less than one-acre in size, it is permitted up to 2,000 square feet of accessory buildings.
The existing garage is the only accessory building on the Property, and is 1,248 square feet
in size with approval of the variance; and
B7. The board or council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family dwelling
as a two-family dwelling; this condition is not applicable to the variance; and
B8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such
property or immediately adjoining property; the existing garage consists of three levels built
into a steep slope. This garage is located in an area where there is reasonable separation
between it and the other buildings on the immediately adjacent properties; and
B9. The conditions do not apply generally to other land or structures in the district in which the
land is located; the conditions of the property do not apply generally to other land or
83
CITY OF ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 7659
4
structures within the district. The existing garage is a unique condition for the area, given its
height and location, built into the slope; and
B10. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the Applicant; the 30-foot setback applied to the garage
presents a difficulty for the Owner to reasonably expand the size of the garage for
interior storage. The granting of the variance is necessary due to the limitations of the
site with the existing location of the garage and will preserve their property rights for this
use; and
B11. The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort or
morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of this chapter; the variance does
not impact the health, safety, comfort or morals of owners or residents in the area. The
intent of the increased rear setback for an oversized accessory building is better met with
the building in its existing location being screened by the topography adjacent to the
building, near the edges of the Property; and
B12. The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the Applicant, but
is necessary to alleviate demonstrable difficulty; The granting of the variance is
reasonable and would alleviate a difficulty placed on the Owner making an improvement
to an existing building to reasonably use it for the interior storage of larger boats and
trailers.
CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS:
Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants a
variance from Orono Municipal Zoning Code Section 6.12.1450 for a rear setback variance for a
240-square-foot addition to an existing detached garage 10 feet from the rear property line
where 30 feet is required, subject to the following conditions:
1. Council approval is based on the entire record, above Findings.
2. The approved project shall conform to the building plans and survey submitted by the
Applicant, attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A.
3. Any amendments to the plans which are not in conformity with City codes may require
further Planning Commission and City Council review.
4. Authorities granted by this resolution run with the Property not with the Owner, but are
permissive only and must be exercised by the issuance of a permit for the proposed
addition and commencing construction of the project. A framing inspection must be

completed within one year of the date of Council approval, or the variance will expire on
that date (January 12, 2027).

may result in the termination of any authority granted herein.
ADOPTED by the Orono City Council on this 12th day of January, 2026.

5.5. LA25-000051 Ungerman Inc., 4680 North Shore Drive, Variance.
The Planning Commission is requested to review the Staff report, receive a presentation, and discuss the
variance request for an oversized accessory building. A bump-out addition would go over an existing
driveway, so there would be no increase to the hardcover. Staff noted the property is unique, but
recommends denial as it is an expansion of a non-conforming building.
The Planning Commission discussed the item and asked questions of staff and the applicant, Ron
Ungerman, Ungerman, Inc., Plymouth.
Chair Bollis opened the public hearing at 9:30 p.m.
There were no public comments.
Chair Bollis closed the public hearing at 9:30 p.m.
Commissioners asked staff to explain why they did not find the practical difficulty criteria to be met.
Commissioners noted the practical difficulty of the site and the fact that the building has been there for
decades. The bump-out is only six feet and covers part of an existing driveway. Structural hardcover
would be increasing but not over the limit. The proposal would provide for the hidden storage of
recreational items such as a boat. Commissioners also noted that rules are in place for a reason. The
property owner could bump out a portion of the east side rather than the entire length and not need a
variance. Commissioners suggested the City should take another look at conditions for accessory
buildings and ADUs.

1.Purpose:
The purpose of this action item is to gain council approval to commence the planning and
engineering of the 2026 Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project.
2.Background:
Since 2005, MCES has identified Orono as one of the communities who contribute excessive
Inflow and Infiltration (I & I). The City has been executing a sanitary sewer rehabilitation project
annually to reduce I&I. Each year the City works to identify inflow and infiltration points within
the sanitary sewer system thought our annual inspection program. These inspections then inform
our rehabilitation efforts for the upcoming years.
3.Scope:
a. Project Scope of Work. This Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation project will consist of sanitary
sewer Cured in Place Pipe (CIPP) lining of infiltration susceptible sanitary sewer pipes. The
purpose of the project is to reduce Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) into the sanitary sewer
systems and extend the life to the existing pipes. Based on the budget an estimated 4500 feet
of pipe will be lined.
b. Design and Engineering Scopes of Work. Planning and engineering will consist of
reviewing televising, preparation of plans and specification and solicitation of bids. Proposal
at Exhibit A
4.Cost:
BMI provide a not to exceed cost of $ 34,900 for design work.
5.Funding:
The design and engineering as well as the construction of the project will come from the Sanitary
Sewer Fund. The 2026 CIP budgeted $300,000 for the project.
6.Staff Recommendation:
I recommend approval of the proposals from Bolton and Menk and that Council authorize staff to
begin design and planning for these projects.
AGENDA ITEM
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED
Move to direct the City Engineer to move forward with planning for the 2026 Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation Project and accept the Bolton and Menk’s proposal for design and engineering of the

Title: 2026 Street Project Design - Walking Trail
1.Purpose:
The purpose of this item is to gain a decision from council on the inclusion of a walking trail along
a portion of North Arm Drive as part of the 2026 Streets Project.
2.Background:
The provision of the walking trail along the southern end of North Arm Drive was identified as a
priority within the Comprehensive Plan. A feasibility study was completed in March of 2017. The
feasibility study looked at the inclusion of a 4-foot wide aggregate walking trail being added to the
west side of the road, from the intersection with West Branch Road in the south to the Lakeview
Park in the north. The ideal time to construct such a trail is concurrent with any road work, in
order to gain efficiencies of effort and synchronize activities within the right of way. The street
improvement project for North Arm Drive is in design for construction in the summer of 2026. As
part of that design work a refined cost estimate for the trail was prepared. Prior to moving to final
design and solicitation of bids, staff is requesting council direction on the inclusion of the trail
work with the street project.
3.Scope:
Construct a 1,900-foot long, 4-foot wide walking trail. Work will require 2,600 sq feet of retaining
wall, the relocation of power poles and the removal of 50 trees.
4.Options:
Options include:
A. Eliminate the trail from this street project.
B. Keep the trail in the project.
C. Keep trail in the project as a bid alternate and make decision at Project Award.
5.Cost:
The estimated cost for construction of the trail is $347,000. The CIP included $80,000 for the trail.
Funds for the trail would come form the Parks Fund.
6.Funding:
Funds for the trail would come form the Parks Fund.
7.Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends elimination of the trail project from the 2026 Street Improvement Project. The
cost is very high for a pedestrian only trail that does not connect to any existing or planned trails at
its southern terminus. The Parks Fund has limited funds available that would be better allocated
toward higher priority projects and maintenance needs.

Title: Lake Minnetonka Area Legislative Coalition Proposal Discussion
1.Purpose:
The purpose of this item is to discuss a proposal from a group of Lake Minnetonka cities to
engage a lobbyist to engage with the State Legislature.
2.Background:
The Mayors of Deephaven and Wayzata have been engaging their fellow lake are a mayors to
propose a "Greater Lake Minnetonka Area Legislative Coalition" to hire a lobbyist to advocate for
common interests of lake area municipalities. (See exhibit A)
Per a recent email from the mayors -
We currently have formal expressions of interest from 10 cities - Deephaven, Wayzata, Woodland,
Minnetonka, Greenwood, Spring Park, Minnetonka Beach, Mound, Orono, and Long Lake.
Based on several recent discussions, we have identified the following shared priorities in RANK
ORDER of priority of where coordinated advocacy is essential:
Key Areas of Shared Policy Concern (Rank order)
Protecting Local Control: Our top priority is maintaining local control over fundamental
municipal functions—specifically zoning and land use regulations—to ensure decisions
reflect the specific needs and character of our communities.
Regional Infrastructure - advocating for investment in critical infrastructure for Lake area
Communities.
Property Tax Reform: We aim to build a statewide coalition to advocate for property tax
reform at both the County and State levels, focusing on fairness for Lake Area residents and
taxpayers including transparency on tax assessment services
Proposed Cost Sharing To support this effort of hiring a lobbyist to advocate on our behalf , we
propose a cost-sharing formula based on 75% residential properties (excluding apartments) and
25% Tax Capacity.
The group has reached out to a lobbyist, Carnival Berns, who has developed a proposal for
services (See exhibit B).
3.Cost:
Per the most recent allocation proposal the cost to Orono would be $9000 / year. If Orono agreed
to administer the contract the projected cost would be $3500. The proposed cost-sharing formula
is based on 75% residential properties (excluding apartments) and 25% Tax Capacity with a $5000
credit for the city that agrees to administer the contract. (See Exhibit C). This would be an
unbudgeted expense.
4.Process:
The proposal is at a point where the groups is requesting interested cities review the proposal and
AGENDA ITEM
102
provide feedback to the group of their interest to participate. There area a number of items the
council should consider:
1. Do Orono's legislative concerns and interest align with those outlined by the group?
2. Would this group be the best means of achieving Orono's legislative goals?
3. If we do participate in this group, should we agree to be the city that holds the contract?
Should the Council be interested in participating in the coalition, the mayor and staff will engage
with the organizers. A formal agreement would need to come back for council approval.
5.Staff Recommendation:
I recommend Council review the attached proposal and determine is this is the initiative the City
should consider. At this point I do not recommend Orono take the administrative lead for this
group. The staff burden would fall on the Finance department and Administration department
which are both focused on supporting the stand up of the Shoreline Fire Department.

Greater Lake Minnetonka Area Legislative Coalition
1. The Need for Collaboration and a Unified Voice for Lake Minnetonka
Inefficiency of Solo Advocacy: Currently, individual cities expend resources to advocate on
common issues, often duplicating efforts. A unified coalition provides greater efficiency
and a stronger, consolidated message at the county & state level.
Maximizing Influence: A coalition representing the collective interests and residents of the
Greater Lake Minnetonka area will carry significantly more weight and influence with state
legislators and county officials than a single city alone.
Proactive Engagement: By pooling resources including potential allies out state, we can
more effectively monitor, respond to, and proactively shape legislation and opportunities
that impact our area, ensuring our voices are heard before decisions are finalized.
2. The Proposed Solution: Partnering with Carnival Berns P.A.
Experienced Advocacy: We propose contracting with John Berns and the firm of Carnival
Berns P.A. to serve as our joint advocate.
Deep Bipartisan Relationships: John Berns and his team have a proven track record, having
worked extensively with the entire legislature and holding personal relationships on both
sides of the aisle.
This includes direct connections with leaders like Speaker of the House Lisa Demuth,
House DFL Leader Zack Stephenson, Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, and Senate
Minority Leader Mark Johnson, as well as committee chairs and nonpartisan staff at the
state and county.
Broad Government Access: Their reach extends beyond the legislature, as they regularly
work with the Governor’s staff, state agency Commissioners and staff, and key local
government leaders, ensuring comprehensive representation of our interests across all
levels.
Relevant Background: Mr. Berns' experience as a former State Representative (District
33B) and an elected Wayzata City Council member provides him with a unique, insider
perspective on both state and local government needs and processes.

3. Key Areas of Shared Policy Concern (ranked in order of priority)
Based on discussions among Lake Area Mayors, there are critical areas where coordinated
advocacy is essential:
Protecting Local Control: Our top priority is maintaining local control over fundamental
municipal functions—specifically zoning and land use regulations —to ensure decisions
reflect the specific needs and character of our communities.
Regional infrastructure - advocating for investment in critical infrastructure for Lake area
Communities.
Property Tax Reform: We aim to build a statewide coalition to advocate for property tax
reform at both the County and State levels, focusing on fairness for Lake Area residents
and taxpayers including transparency on tax assessment services
4. Financial Investment and Next Steps
Estimated Investment: The total estimated investment for this dedicated, high-level
advocacy work is approximately $5 5,000.
Fair Cost Allocation: The contract will be held by one city, and the cost will be divided
among participating cities via a pro-rata allocation based on the city's taxable market value
for Pay 25 and the number of housing units with a cap . In addition, a discount will be
applied to the city who holds the contract to account for the staff time to administer the
contract This ensures an equitable distribution of the investment based on relative size.
See attached
Call to Action: We are asking for your support for this collaborative approach. If you are
aligned with this strategy, please bring this proposal (Carnival Berns) forward to your
council for:
Approval of the partnership and the financial investment.
Directing staff to work with the City Administrator of the City designated to finalize the
agreement and move forward with a unified plan of action.
