� TO: Villaqe Council FROM: James Cosby, Village Administrator DATE: January 11 , 1974 SUBJECT: Council Meeting - January 14 , 1974 - 1lqenda Items We will have a 6 : 30 P.M. work session at thc� Village officc�s as usual . Of the applicants who have applied for positions on the Orono Planninq Commission, Carol Moore, Charles Kallestad,will be present at the 6 : 30 P.M. meeting for the Council to have an opportunity to get to know them. Mr. Fred Curtis called me and ��sked to be placed on the agenda so that he may have an opportunity t�� introduce himse_lf to the new Council . 3 & 4 . These items concern the Park Comm_ission. Mr. M�istny will be present at the meetinq and a co��y of the l�ast: Park Commission Minutes are enclosed in your packet. 7. would suqqest that you read those Minutes rather carefully £or the Park Cc>rrunission, I am sure, will want to address itself to some of the comments made in their Minutes at the upcoming Council meeting. A]_so, at this t.im� , the Council may wish to discuss with Mr. Mastny the proposal for reorqanizing the Park Commission to nine members. I have talked to Georgc about this and he is aware of it. 6-9 . These items concern the Zoning Administrat.or and memos concerning each one are in your packets . 11. I had a call today from the Metropolitan Sewer Board saying that they had received our proposed 1974 method of collectinq the Metro Sewer charge but have not had an opportunity to fully review it. Their primary concern was that Villages were able to separate out the Metro Sewer charge in a method which was understandable to all. I feel that our proposal has done this and I would recommend to the Village Council at this time that we adopt the resolution that is in your packet and should the Sewer Board have any problems with that in the future, we could make tYie appropriate amendments. 12 . You have a letter in your packet concerni.ng a winter maintenance program in view of possible energy crisis that we may be facing. I • think that this proposal is a very sound one and it would give the Council an opportunity to handle questions that citizens may ask of them in the event that severe conditions exist and shortage of gasolinc occurs. 13. In your packet is a letter concerning a conf_erence for new Mayors and Councilmen to be held on January 26 , 1974 . I would hope that our two new members will try to attend this confererice. I , myself, have a special interest in it for I was on the committee that designed the program and would be very much interested in feedback from you concerning the value that you thought it had.
