PRESENTATION
8. GILLESPIE CENTER ANNUAL UPDATE AND CONSIDERATION OF SUPPORT
Jean Brustad, Gillespie Center, stated she has been a member of the Orono community for 30 years.
Brustad stated the Gillespie Center is one of the unique senior centers in the country. Most senior centers
are built and completely funded by their cities,requiring very little, if any, fundraising. The Gillespie
Center building has been in existence for 16 years,but the senior organization in this community has been

Continued
around for almost 30 years. The Gillespie building was built by fundraising and donations by community
members and various groups with a large matching donation from the Gillespie family. The Gillespie
Senior Center has a goal of raising a large endowment fund to support most of the expenses of running
the center. The Gillespie Center is technically a senior center but it often calls itself a community center.
Brustad stated the question that needs to be answered is why are they important to this community.
Research shows that an active senior center helps reduce the risk of depression and the slowing of
cognitive skills of seniors. Seniars involved in an active senior center are helped in their ability to
continue to live independently in their own homes. An active senior center enhances social
connectiveness of the community and can help the seniars experience measurable improvements in their
physical, social, spiritual, emotional and mental well-being.
According to the City's website on the demographics of the City,the official general population of Orono
decreased from 2000 to 2010, while the population of those over 65 increased. Looking at other
statistical pages from other sites finds that the current population of Orono is over 8,000 and the
population of those 60 and over is over 20 percent. Brustad stated those numbers help to show part of the
need for the Gillespie Center.
The Gillespie Center has contracted with Senior Community Services, which is a nonprofit arganization
whose mission is to develop, coordinate and provide services that help meet the needs of older adults and
support their caregivers. They offer creative solutions for helping all generations better enjoy their later
years for several senior centers in the area. SCS has a program called Home, which provides inside and
outside household maintenance for the elder. They offer a variety of people that help perform a number
of small household tasks that help keep a household safe for a senior to live in. They provide services
that the senior is no longer able to complete themselves. This program is for anyone 60 and over and
there is a sliding scale fee for the services. Sometimes volunteers offer their services and there is no
charge. The goal is to keep the home safe and a place they can continue to live in.
Brustad noted she distributed a brochure to the City Council on the Home program.
Brustad stated another part of SCS's program is called Senior Partners Care. This program helps seniors
obtain medical care they need by helping to bridge the financial gap between their medical bills and their
Medicare coverage. SCS provides a licensed social worker who offices part-time at the Gillespie Center.
She provides resources to seniors and their family caregivers as they go through the various stages of
maturity. She provides individual, private help after meeting with the senior and often their families after
learning their individual concerns.
SCS also provides a volunteer, Chuck Radke, that offices at the Gillespie Center to help seniors and their
family make educated choices with their Medicare and health insurance questions. He meets one on one
with seniors to go through those individual choices. Since he is not selling a product, he is able to give
them complete choices without the bias of a sale for their various insurance needs. SCS provides him
training every year far this job so he is current with the various resources available.
SCS also works with six other senior centers. They provide the Gillespie Center with its one and only
full-time paid employee. The Gillepie Center's director is Mindy Anderson. With her knowledge of

8. GILLESPIE CENTER ANNUAL UPDATE AND CONSIDERATION OF SUPPORT—
Continued
working with other senior centers,her training and the network that is involved with SCS and their
contracts, several activities and classes are able to happen at the Gillespie Center because of this
collaboration.
Mindy Anderson also coordinates for SCS the Meals-On-Wheels program for Orono and Long Lake. The
community garden brings fresh produce for Meals-On-Wheel participants. Each year the Gillespie Center
tries to be involved in the community and the events the community has and volunteers participate in the
Spirit of the Lakes festival,providing bingo, a pork dinner and a booth at the park, as well as provide
volunteers for one of the rest areas for the Tour de Tonka. The seniors also host a table at the farmers
market and other area festivals and has volunteers that go help at the Feed My Children center.
Like most senior centers, the Gillespie Center offers the usual activities, such as an active photography
club where they usually take a field trip every week or spend time at the center using new software ar
camera techniques. The Gillespie Center also has every kind of card club you can think of as well as a
beading class, craft clubs, knitting, crocheting,painting, and many other groups the members suggest.
Each of these groups is usually organized and run by a volunteer member. There are also several exercise
groups, such as line dancing, plus two different levels of exercise with an instructor, including yoga and a
Nordic walking group. These are all very popular and help keep the seniors and other community
members healthy and involved.
This year the Gillespie Center received a U-Care health and wellness grant in connection with the
University of Minnesota Extension classes. Because of this grant, the Gillespie Center was able to offer
four different classes free to the community: one on nutrition, shopping on budget, care and movement
for the body, and stretching and greeting. The grant also helped to subsidize the Gillespie Center's foot
care program and there were 109 visits to the nurse that works with the seniors on foot care. A total of
519 people over the age of 50 from all over the area were able to be helped by the grant,which was
obtained by the SCS for the Gillespie Center.
A senior choir group at the Gillespie Center entertains members at other nursing homes, senior apartment
buildings and other places around the area. Other activities are also offered as part of the Gillespie
Center's attempt to keep people involved and having fun. Every third Wednesday there is a country jam
where singers and musicians come from all over the city area to entertain the seniors. Some Wednesdays
there are as few as 50 in the audience and some Wednesdays there are more than 150.
Research has shown that it is important for all age groups to be involved with each other. The Gillespie
Center has activities during the year that involves students and grandparents. These activities help get the
members of the community to do fun activities with each other. Another activity is Santa's Hidden
Treasures, which is very popular with the children. Parents and grandparents bring their children to the
center where they are able to purchase gifts for a reasonable price that they can give to their family.
These gifts are all donated to the center. The participants can also get their picture taken with Santa.
The Gillespie Center is also working on adding to the endowment fund with help from the cities of
Minnetrista, Mound, and Spring Lake Park so the Gillespie Center will be able to be self-sufficient for
future seniors. In order to achieve the goal of matching these funds these cities give to the Gillespie
Center, volunteers help host several fundraising activities. Brustad stated they have received help from
many, including personal help from Orono's mayor. In addition, the center also hosts a golf tournament,

hosts a holiday boutique with over 80 vendars, sells sweepstake tickets,and provides lunch and evening
activities. The Gillespie Center also collaborates with Al and Alma's to have a Monday noon cruise on
Mondays, with a portion of the profits being donated to the center. Volunteers also sell Script cards and
the facility is rented out for weddings, funerals, and other activities.
Another service to the community is the Gillespie Center's day-old bakery. Different volunteers drive to
Cub Foods every morning seven days a week to pick up their day-old bakery goods and bring them to the
center. Brustad stated they also had a chicken roaster donated to the center that has already been used for
one of the fundraisers. Brustad noted each year the Gillespie Center needs to raise around$120,000 for
their matching funds.
The Gillespie Center is run with volunteers and there are more than 480 members, many of whom are
active and volunteer for a host of activities and projects. There is also the youth of the community that
volunteers along with the seniors. The Gillespie Center hosts several sports banquets for both the Mound
and Orono School District,which involves students at the center. For many of the activities at the center,
members of the Honor Society or DECA or other organizations at the schools are at the center helping
with setup, cleanup, handing out food, or just helping out wherever help is needed. Without volunteers of
all ages,the center could not make it.
Brustad stated every year they try to offer new activities and opportunities for the community. This year
one of those activities was a quilter's retreat, with 39 quilters coming together from as far away as
Stillwater using their own machines, scissors, cutting boards, and a group of people sharing talents, ideas,
tons of laughter and fun. The Gillespie Center also has a free lending library that is coordinated by a
volunteer. The books are donated and loaned out for free to anyone in the community. Brustad stated
most of the programs are free and open to the community. Attendance is not taken and the community
the person lives in is not asked.
Brustad stated the funds that Orono provides the Gillespie Center are not part of the fundraising funds and
are just a small part of what is sent to Senior Community Services. Brustad noted the funds from Orono
were cut in half a few years ago and the Gillespie Center has had to make up that difference. Brustad
stated even when you ask people where they live, the answer varies,and sometimes the answer is not
accurate due to the confusion with mailing addresses and post offices. Brustad noted she lives in Orono
but her mailing address is Wayzata, she receives fire services from Navarre and Excelsior,but she lives
closest to Spring Park.
Brustad stated the best numbers she can provide are that 60 Orono residents were served through the
Senior Community Services at various activities that they coordinate that are not through the Gillespie
Center, 38 Orono residents are considered paid members of the Gillespie Center, and 25 Orono residents
receive Meals on Wheels, involving over 1,400 meals delivered by volunteers.
Brustad stated the Gillespie Center would like to thank the Orono City Council for what they have done
for the center in the past and that she hopes Orono continues to fund the center and perhaps raise their
contribution. Brustad noted the money from Orono goes to Senior Community Services and is not part of
the contracts the Gillespie Center has with the other three cities for the endowment.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT REPORT
12. #17-3968 SHARRATT DESIGN AND COMPANY ON BEHALF OF FREDERICK AND
PATRICIA JOHNSON, 1565 ORCHARD BEACH PLACE (PID 07-117-23-0026)—RESOLUTION
NO. 6801 & RESOLUTION NO. 6802
Curtis noted the City Council directed Staff at its last meeting to draft a resolution denying the request for
a rear yard setback variance and to draft a resolution approving the request for an average lakeshore
setback variance, lot area and lot width variances.
Tonight the applicant is asking the City Council to reconsider the rear yard setback variance. The
applicant has provided revised house and site plans showing an example of the home footprint. The
designed home is within the approved building footprint and intended to conform to all applicable zoning
code requirements, including height. The applicant has also provided a revised site plan and house plan
to illustrate their amended rear yard setback request to permit a 20-foot rear yard setback, which would
allow for additional width to accommodate a 2-car garage.
Michael Sharratt, Sharratt Design, stated they listened to the concerns expressed by the City Council at
the last meeting and they have revised their plans to address the rear yard setback. Sharratt stated they are
not suggesting this is a resolved concept and that it may need more scrutiny but that it was the best they
could do within the last few days.
Sharratt stated their other plan reacts to the requirement for a two-car garage. If a variance is not
requested and there is just a one-car garage, there is only one place to obtain a two-car width and that is
toward the rear property line. Sharratt stated they increased the setback request to ten feet and decreased
the width of the garage. Sharratt noted the minimum is typically 20 ar 22 feet. Sharratt stated if that is
not possible, then the variance for the one-car garage has to be applied for.
Sharratt noted there is only 8.3 feet on the east property line and that they have shrunk the building
footprint to 416 square feet. The upper levels are cantilevered over that are. As a result, Plan A shows
hardcover at 10.3 percent where 25 percent is allowed, and it meets the right, lake side setback. Plan B
has 15 percent hardcover or 50 percent of what is allowed for structural coverage
Crosby asked if they are meeting the rear setback.
Walsh stated the plans are showing what could be built with a 20-foot rear yard setback instead of 30 feet.
Mayor Walsh asked if there is any public comment regarding this application.
Shawn McDermott, 1530 Orchard Beach Place, requested the City Council apply the City ordinances as
they stand right now. McDermott noted the applicant is looking for four variances on this property and
that the neighbors are looking at the negative impact this project would have on their property values.
McDermott stated he would appeal to the City Council to consider the common benefit of the City and
the people who live in the neighborhood and not the benefit of one landowner.
There were no further public comments.

NO.6801 &RESOLUTION NO.6802—Continued
Walsh noted the City Council discussed this application two weeks ago and that the question before them
is whether anything compelling has been raised to change the decision they made two weeks ago.
Crosby stated there is a lack of space to build on and that nothing raised tonight has changed his mind.
Walsh stated he can see the one-car garage as a practical difficulty and that the City has granted variances
in the past to allow a one-car garage. Walsh stated he does not see anything compelling that would
change the Council's decision from two weeks ago.
Printup moved,Crosby seconded,to adopt RESOLUTION NO.6802,a Resolution approving the
lot area,lot width,and average lakeshore setback variances for the property located at 1565
Orchard Beach Road,and to adopt RESOLUTION NO.6801,a Resolution denying the rear yard
setback variance. VOTE: Ayes 3,Nays 0. ,
13. REVIEW ORDINANCE PRIORITIES
Barnhart stated Staff has been directed to research a number of ordinances and then present Staffls
recommendations back to the City Council. Staff is limited on resources to handle all of these at the same
time and are looking for direction on prioritization. Barnhart noted seven priorities identified last fall
have been completed.
Barnhart stated Staff is looking at the following possible ordinances:
1. Ordinance to regulate special events; ordinance to clarify accessory structure setbacks,
2. Ordinance to amend the regulations of signage, include size, location, illumination,and to'
confirm content neutrality,
3. Ordinance to review permitted and conditional uses in the business districts,
4. Ordinance to remove hour restrictions on Long Lake. An ordinance has been primarily written by
Long Lake and Staff will be utilizing most of that language.
5. Ordinance to regulate rentals, including short-term rentals and the need to regulate long-term and
short-terxn rentals. Barnhart noted this is being driven to a certain extent by the Super Bowl since
it will be bringing more activity into town.
6. Ordinance to clarify defmitions,including dry buildable, connected,in kind,restaurants.
Barnhart stated earlier today during the work session the City Council discussed the wetland ordinances
to reduce the setback requirements. Due to limited Staff resources and time being spent on the
Comprehensive Plan and the Navarre plan,Barnhart indicated he can only do one ordinance a month and
that he would like the City Council to prioritize the proposed ordinances.

13. REVIEW ORDINANCE PRIORITIES—Continued
Walsh stated the City Council was pretty intent on getting the short-term rentals taken care of.
Crosby stated the structural setback is pretty important,but given the approaching winter,that might be
less of a priority at this time.
Walsh stated the ordinance regarding the hours on Long Lake is also less of a priority at this time.
Barnhart stated from a timing perspective,the first Planning Commission meeting available is November
and that the agenda will likely include the short-term rental ordinance. Barnhart indicated January is
probably when he would start looking at setting the stage for variances and building permits and that he
can do the accessory structure setback ordinance then.
Walsh stated the buffer and setbacks is a work in process.
Barnhart indicated that could be number three. Barnhart stated if the special event ordinance is in the
land use code,it will need to go before the Planning Commission.
Printup noted the City experienced some trouble a few months ago with special events.
Barnhart stated his goal is not to correct a concem with a private party but to look at what triggers a
special event and the need for a permit. Currently it is based almost solely on parking and that language
could be drafted to improve on that.
Walsh commented the signage ordinance could perhaps be reviewed by the City Attorney.
Barnhart stated the signage ordinance could be made easier to understand and that the City Council has
not reviewed it in a long time. Barnhart suggested that ordinance be prioritized as number eight.
Walsh stated some of the City's Code in general has been piecemealed together over time and that there is
a lot of conflicting narratives and different descriptions. Walsh stated it would behoove the City to find
some money in the special project contingency fund to perhaps hire a consultant to help bring the City's
Code altogether and make it one consistent vehicle. Walsh stated if the City is going to really fix
something,that should be a high priority.
Mattick concurred the code is disjointed but noted that once changes are made to one section,the question
is how big of a project it becomes.
Walsh stated in general the feeling was that the whole thing overall needs to be completely rebuilt and put
back together so it makes sense all the way around. Walsh stated the City Code needs to read
consistently.
Rief stated the zoning section is a pretty significant portion and that from a Staff resources standpoint, it
would be money well spent.
Walsh stated once it is done right,then the City will not need to review it again for a while.

structure setbacks, wetlands as number three, and definitions as number four, with the City Attorney
reviewing the signage ordinance.
MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT
Printup noted the Long Lake Waters Association is havin�its second annual education summit to learn
about the Long Lake Watershed.
Crosby stated he would like to thank Jean Brustad from the Gillespie Center for her nice presentation and
that the seniors in the community appreciate the Gillespie Center.
Walsh reported last week the school committee met and discussed Old Crystal Bay Road and County
Road 6 and possible options for improving that area.
CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
14. THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT
Olson reviewed the City's third quarter financial report, noting that a number of departments are close to
100 percent ar slightly below their budgets.
Olson stated the City will be receiving its final tax settlement towards December and that right now the
City's property tax revenues are at 51 percent. Overall the City's revenues are in good shape, with
licenses and permits at 80 percent. As it concerns other governmental revenue,the City should be
receiving their 2017 state police aid in the very near future, which will be around$200,000. Olson noted
the police department will be over budget on that line item. Charges for services are at 98 percent, with a
large portion of those dollars being police service contracts.
Olson noted the City's fine revenue is only at 60 percent of what was budgeted, with that item decreasing
the past few years. Some of the reasons that has happened is because the state and county are taking
bigger cuts and fewer citations are being written but overall that item should be on budget for this year.
Revenue from the golf course has been going up since 2014 and it is anticipated that number will be close
to $200,000 by the end of the year.
Olson stated overall the City is at 70 percent of revenues at this point. Last year at this time the City was
at 67 percent of revenue and ended up at 102 percent.
Olson noted back in 2009 the City took in less in buildiug permits than was budgeted,but in 2011 there
were a few storms and building permit revenue was significantly higher. In 2012, 2013, and 2014, it was
fairly steady, and in 2016 revenues were a little under budget on the building permit revenue line. Olson
stated in 2017 the City should get up to the budgeted amount.

14. THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT—Continued
As it relates to expenditures,the City is currently at 97.87 percent. Olson noted the yellow highlighted
items are the items that are close to being over budget. Mayor and council are at 82 percent, which
consists mainly of inembership fees and council salaries, and is expected to be at 100 percent by the end
of the year.
Olson noted the administration budget is over budget due to the fact the City had a temporary city
administrator working for six months and the interim city administrator was paid almost as much as was
budgeted for the entire year. Olson stated that should not happen in 2018 since the City now has a
permanent city administrator. In addition, law and legal services will probably be over budget since the
City had one legal matter where the City spent $8,000 that was not budgeted and $8,000 was spent on
updating ordinances. Olson stated the City Council should probably tweak next year's budget since they
are still looking at ordinance updates.
Olson noted central services are also a little high, with the ordinance updates factoring into that as well.
In 2017,the City spent $8,800 on ordinance updates online and the item cloud backups was not in the
2017 budget, which came in at $11,000. Olson noted the engineering department is overbudget at this
time, but it has been determined there were some miscodings that should have been charged to the water
and sewer budgets. Special services are at 130 percent and include pass-through charges. Special
projects and contingencies are at 106 percent which is due to the search for the new city administrator.
Olson stated overall the City is at 78 percent of budget and will probably end up around 100 percent by
the end of the year.
Olson reviewed the City's new investments for the second and third quarter. Olson noted the City is
receiving a better interest rate than in 2016 on their investments.
As it relates to the City's 2017 vendor payments, the top three vendors are the City of Long Lake for fire
protection services, Bolton and Menk, and then HealthPartners for the employees' health insurance.
The City Council took no formal action on this item.
