Regular Meeting of the Orono Council, 7 : 00 P.M.
' March 24 , 1980
The Orono Council met on the above date with the
following members present: Mayor Van Nest,
Councilmembers Butler and Massengale, Absent:
Councilmembers _Hurr and Paurus. Also present:
City Administrator Benson, City Planner Olson,
City Engineer Cook , City Attorney Malkerson,
Chief of Police Kilbo, and City Clerk Strom.
Mr. Roger Jolicoeur from the American Automobile AAA AWARD
Association was present to award the AA.A Pedestrian
Safety Plaque to Mayor Van Nest, who in turn presented
the plaque to Chief of Police Kilbo and congratulated
him for Orono' s safety record.
Mayor Van Nest reopened the Public Hearing for the PUBLIC HEARING
proposed sewer project for the Minnetonka Bluffs, Minnetonka Bluffs , Oronc
West Ferndale Road, Orono Lane, and County Road #15 Lane , etc. Sewers
areas at 7:10 P.M.
Mayor Van Nest asked City Engineer Cook if the
marina area could be hooked up directly to the
interceptor which would lower the cost for that
area.
City Engineer Cook stated that he did not know if
the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission would
allow direct hookups. Possibly a small grinder
pump would not be a problem and might be a way to
handle it.
Mayor Van Nest stated that one of the strong points
to justify the interceptor being placed in that area
was the lower cost for local _connections. He requested
Mr. Cook to determine if the MWCC is going to deny
us the advantages of the location of that interceptor
and find out how federal funds are being administered.
Mayor Van Nest informed the residents in the sewer
area that a questionnaire would be mailed out to
them as soon as possible which contains a map of
the entire sewer area and individual plat maps showing
the location of the sewer lines and approximate
costs for each residence, and requested the citizens
to check the proper box if they desire sewers or not.
Councilmember Massengale requested that the estimate
of the costs should be clarified as of todays date
to prevent any misunderstanding of the meaning of
the total costs, due to costs changing every day.

REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, MARCH 24 , 1980 Page 2
James Rivers was present and reviewed his letter PUBLIC HEARING
- concerning the costs for his marina, Windward (Continued)
Marine, to install municipal sewers.
Mayor Van Nest stated that Mr. Rivers would not
have to hookup if he felt in his own mind that he
could make his present septic system work.
Mayor Van Nest reiterated his previous statement
that the City Council is not forcing residents to
install municipal sewers but that the need is there
and it is up to them to decide if they would like .
municipal sewers or upgrade their present septic
systems according to the municipal code. The
decision is up to the residents.

Jeanne Mabusth, Zoning Administrator, prepared VARIANCE*
a memo presented to the City Council concernin� , . 1998 Shadywood Road
a variance far Steven B. Tibbetts , 1998 Shadywood #540
Road, dated March 20 , 1980 , which states: Steven Tibbetts
Report on Drainage Problem - Staff inet with the
County maintenance representative for the area at
the site. He advised that when Spring Park hooked
up to the water lines on the east side of Shadywood
Road late fall of 1979 , they destroyed the drainage
structure within the subject ditch area. Spring
Park' s contractor will return in the next few
weeks to repair the entire area - drainage ditch,
seeding of disturbed area, complete cleanout of
culvert. Staff requested in addition the contractor
replace gravel in access drive.
The drainage system between the houses appears to
be the remnant of a previous property owner' s
attempt to remove the standing water that would
collect in the low area between the houses. A
manhole with a grate located at ground level would
take the water underground to a network of tiling
directing the water to the lake. The tiles are
now broken allowing the water to disperse under-
ground.
Resolution- - Approving the variance request -
Staff recommends approval of the variance application
for lot width, lot area and hardcover per the
enclosed resolution. Mr. Tibbetts has read and
signed the original copy.

On February 19 , 1980 , Orono received the 1980
application which included a dock plan drawn
exactly like the sketch submitted in 1978 and
again in February, 1979. This plan was shown to
be in error by the survey finally provided in
August, 1979. On February 19 , 1980, we sent the
attached letter requesting a revised plan. We have
received no reply.
On March 14 , 1980 , we received a copy of the Lake
Minnetonka Conservation District notice to Mr.
Hork that his 1980 application (same sketch as
provided to Orono) had been denied upon violation
of the 200 ft. dock length.
The 1980 application is the same as 1979 except
as follows:
- Repair slips reduced from 9 to 3
- Total wet slips reduced from 93 to 82 (because
applicant showed but did not number the slips
in the lagoon) .
- Dry stack slips reduced from 48 to 20 (with no
accounting for remaining 28 stacking spaces) .
I have attached the last two pages of Resolution
#1096 , which denied the 1979 license. Note that

addressed or corrected by the applicant.

Mr. Herbert Klossner, Hennepin County Engineer, ARCOLA BRIDGE
and Commissioner Robb, Hennepin County Board of
Commissioners , were present to discuss the
reconstruction of the Arcola Bridge.
Mr. Klossner stated that there has been misunder-
standings concerning the size of the bridge. That
the bridge will be only two feet wider with the
sidewalks being three feet on one side and four
feet for the other side.
Mayor Van Nest commented that the project had been
available for federal funds but that these funds
are no longer available for this construction
season.
Mr. Klossner stated that that was correct, that
they had expected to get some federal bridge re-
habilitation and reconstruction funds for the
Arcola Bridge but that they had run out of money.
Mayor Van Nest stated that Orono' s main concerns
are having the bridge completed in one construction
year and suggested that the reconstruction be done in
1981 when work could be started earlier in the
spring for completion in the one construction
season. Mayor Van Nest also stated that Orono
would rather the County used the funds for upgrading
the roads and postpone the bridge work another year.
We also would like to be reassured that the bridge
will no� have an overall width greater than it is
due to the fact that the road is a two-lane road
and that it is unnecessary for the bridge to be
any wider.
Mayor Van Nest read the proposed resolution.
Massengale moved, Butle� seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION #1127
Resolution #1127 , A Resolution Approving The Arcola Bridge
Reconstruction Of The Arcola Bridge. Motion,
Ayes (3) - Nays (0) .

Commissioner Robb stated that the Hennepin County ARCOLA BRIDGE
• Board of Commissioners has also been working with (Continued)
contiguous cities and the Hennepin County Highway
Department concerning the proposed plans for the
Arcola Bridge and Highway #15.
Commissioner Robb informed the City Council that _
he would like a copy of the resolution just passed
by the Council concerning the reconstruction of the
Arcola Bridge to present to his Board of Commissioners
the following day because the plans and specifications
for the Arcola Bridge would be on their agenda. �
Mr. Glenn Cook, City Engineer, informed the Citv COUNTY ROAD #15
Council that plans for improvements along County Turn Lanes
Road 15 between Orono Orchard Road and Woodhill
Road were received from Hennepin County. The
improvement consists of a bypass lane to allow
east bound traffic to make left turn movements
without appreciably affecting flow to tra�fic,
and that the County anticipates to proceed with
the improvement during the 1980 construction
season.
The City Council requested the City Engineer to MUSA LINE - LEGAL
draft a resolution approving the map showing DESCRIPTIONS
Orono' s MUSA line and the MUSA legal descriptions
for the next Council meeting.

Board, dated March 7, 1980:
"I am writing regarding several different matters .

Board to the West Hennepin Human Services Joint
Powers Agreement. We are asking your city council
to approve this change.
We are participating with the United Way, Hennepin
County, and the City of Minneapolis in a group
that is looking at the overall human service system
and attempting to coordinate efforts. We are
trying to find out who funds which services and
would appreciate your completing the enclosed
questionnaire. I will forward the compiled
information to you when it is completed. We
appreciate your attention to these matters. Please
call me if you have any questions or need more
information. Thank you. "
End of letter
Attachment from WHHSPB - Request for Joint Powers
Change
Board members who are municipal appointees do not
have any requirements for attendance because we do
not have any method for removing them from the
Board. Currently provider members may be removed
for non-attendance at three consecutive monthly
meetings.
In order for us to have a quorum (which is 500 of
the Board plus one) to do business , we need to have
attendance by municipal appointees.
We are therefore asking for your approval of the
following policy: Policy for Removal of WHHS Members -
After second consecutive missed meeting, WHHS will call
the member (unless previous arrangements are made) , and
this call will be followed by a letter stating that
their position on the Board may be in jeopardy if
they miss the next meeting. (Continued)
REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, MARCH 24 , 1980 12
Member municipali'ty will be immediately informed WHHSPB
. by the WHHS Board if their representative is removed (Continued)
for non-attendance.
We are also asking for your approval of the deletion
of the word "complete" in the following section of
the Joint Powers Agreement of West Hennepin Human
Services Planning Board:
Article IV, Section 5
"Any Council, however, shall have ee���ete authority �
to appoint and to remove at any time any director
approved by such Council. "

John Gerhardson, Public Works Coordinator, EASEMENT COSTS*
prepared the following memo concerning easement Ring Route & Luce Line
costs for the ring route, dated March 7, 1980 ,
which states:
In December 1979 , the City of Orono received
from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
a legal description and the costs for the permanent
and temporary easement taken by the City of Orono
for crossing the Luce Line Trail for the Ring
Route Road.
Glenn Cook, City Engineer, Bruce Malkerson, City
Attorney, and I, felt there was a discrepancy in
the legal description.
The questions that were raised have been clarified
and are explained in the attached letter from
Bruce Malkerson, City Attorney.
Therefore, it is my recommendation to approve
payment to the Department of Natural Resources in
the amount of $585 for the permanent and temporary
easement taken by the City of Orono to cross the
Luce Line Nature Trail at the Ring Route Road.

City Council with the following information March 13 , 1980
concerning the Cable TV meeting of March 13 , 1980 , �

Our Cable TV meeting was productive and interesting.

reviewing merits of Cable TV.
Some point of interest are:

John Gerhardson, Public Works Coordinator, prepared *PARK DEPARTMENT PURCHASE
a memo for the City Council concerning eguipment "Power Mowers"
purchases for parks dated March 14 , 1980 , which
states :
It has been determined that the Park Department
will have to replace the two rotary trimming mowers.
Because of the type of use the mowers are exposed
to, it is necessary that they be a well constructed,
durable mower.
We have inspected several mowers and found that the
"power mow" , lawn mower is the type of mower that
best suits our needs.
The "power mow" is sold by Coffee Power Equipment
Company in Minnetonka. The list price for the
mower is $389 and cost to the City of Orono is
$295 each.
Therefore, it is my recom�endation to purchase two
"power mow" mowers from Coffee ' s Power and Equipment
Company for an amount not to exceed $590. This is
a budget item for 1980.
Council Meeting - March 24, 1980

Dear Mr. Kreienbrink:
The City Council of the City of Orono has recently reviewed
the Crystal Bay Post Office operation keeping in mind the
discussion we had earlier with you and your staff concerning
the consolidation of postal delivery service for the entire
City of Orono allowing the Wayzata, Excelsior, Mound, Maple
Plain, and Long Lake rural deliveries to be housed in one
post office , which would create an Orono delivery address
using one common zip code. It has been indicated by your
most recent letter, that consolidation of these routes would
be impossible and could not be cost justified, the conclusion
� being that the present lock box customers should convert to a
3 rural delivery service.
� It is the City' s contention that now is the time to intensify
� our position that the City of Orono is long overdue in receiving
{ its mail through one post office using one zip code, which will
} enable the City of Orono to receive its mail from one common
' carrier rather than the duplication that has resulted in using
five different post office buildings at the present time.
The cost effectiveness of consolidating the present rural routes
appears to be in the public' s interest and could certainly be
rationalized as a long-range planning goal.
The City is willing to allocate additional time to pursue this
goal and we will be available, at your convenience, to discuss
this matter further.
Sincerely,
,�'; i" ;.7. ` . %

— Re: Bond No. : U 97 77 06
- Princit�al: Buffalo Bituminous , Inc.
Obligee: City of Orono, Minnesota
Project: Street Grading and Surfacing on
Ring noute Road
Dear Mr. Benson:
Your letter of January 25, 1980, addressed to NLr. R. W. Frank, Attorney-in-
Fact and agent for the United Pacific Insurance Company has been referred to
�his oriice.
Your request that United Pacific Insurance Company agree and reaffirm that its
performance bond U 97 77 06 will respond to a claim for liquidated da.mages, is
both superfluous and unnecessary. Where liquidated damages are stipulated in a
contract covered by the performance bond, it is obvious that the bond will respond
to the liquidated damages, subject to the rights and defenses of the owner and the
contractor and a determination as to the actual damages sustained.
f However, in an effort to reconcile the differences between the City of Orono and
Buffalo Bituminous, Inc. , concerning payment of earned contract funds the United
i', Pacific Insurance Company does agree that the above performance bond includes
�� coverage for liauidated damage, if any, up to the amount stipulated in the contract
�� subject to a detern.ination of actual damages to the City of Orono from the alleged
delayed completion date and also subject to the rights and defenses available to
the Surety under conmon, statutory and judicial law.
If you have any further questions concerning application of the above bond to this
project, please feel free to contact me.
Yours very truly,
UNITED PACIFIC INSURANCE CONf�f�NY
