� <br /> MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> Monday,June 23, 2014 <br /> 5:00 p.m. <br /> Present: Mayor Lili McMillan, Council Members Lizz Levang and Aaron Printup; representing <br /> Staff were City Administrator Jessica Loftus, Senior Planner Mike Gaffron, and <br /> Finance Director Ron Olson. <br /> Finance Director Ron Olson presented revenue and expenditure factors for consideration in the 2015 <br /> budget. He requested the Council's input in the areas of the tax levy and spending priorities. Discussion <br /> ensued regarding specific spending items and the consensus of the Council was to pursue a flat levy as a <br /> base line budget then look at 'add options'for goals such as patching roads and parks. The budget <br /> timeline was adjusted to approve the preliminary budget on 9/22/14. The draft budget will be <br /> presented to the Council again at the July work session. <br /> Mike Gaffron presented information on the B-1 district allowed uses and noted this was <br /> primarily intended to bring the issue forward for future consideration. Mr. Gaffron also <br /> presented information on stormwater and drainage trunk fees. The consensus of the Council <br /> was to pursue exploring changes to the fee structure to make it more equitable, possibly basing <br /> new development fees on a per lot basis rather than total acreage, and possibly consider <br /> charging redevelopment fees based on the size and impact of an addition rather than the size <br /> of the property. <br /> Gabriel Jabbour provided the City Council with an update on LMCD activities including public <br /> safety on the lake. <br /> The meeting closed at 6:50 p.m. <br /> ATTEST: <br /> � �'t z � h c l��,/C'�C�( °iZ� <br /> Rachel Dodge, City Cler� Lili Tod McMillan, Mayor <br />
