T0: City Council <br /> FROM: James Cosby, City Administrator <br /> DATE: March l, 1974 <br /> SUBJECT: Council Meeting of March 4 , 1974 <br /> We will be having our regular 6 : 30 P.M. work session on Monday, <br /> March 4 , 1974. At this time, Dexter Marston would like to go over <br /> his items on the agenda with you due to the fact that he must attend <br /> the Council meeting in Minnetrista. <br /> The first item that is being added to the agenda is a motion for the <br /> Council to accept the petition from Hackberry requesting water lines <br /> be put in at the same time as the sewer lines are due to be put in <br /> the ground in Hackberry. If it is the Council' s desire to try to <br /> coordinate those two projects into one , we will begin immediate <br /> negotiations with Long Lake in an attempt to get on their water system <br /> and work with Bernie Mittelsteadt to insure that the proper final <br /> plans and specifications can be drawn up. <br /> The second additional item concerns two letters for membership on <br /> the Orono Planning Commission. On the agenda above you will have a <br /> letter of resignation from Mr. Bradley Hays, which created the <br /> vacancy on the commission. <br /> The third item on the new agenda is my recommendation for the individual <br /> to be hired as the finance clerk for the City of Orono. During the <br /> budget work sessions in 1973, the Council agreed to make this a full-time <br /> position. The current employee only works in the office three days <br /> a week. There is more than sufficient work to justify making this a <br /> full-time position and the current employee does not wish to be <br /> full-time. Therefore, we have advertised and interviewed eight <br /> people and it is my recommendation that Mrs. Knutson be hired as the <br /> new finance clerk for the City of Orono at a salary of $6 ,500 a <br /> year. With this position becoming full-time, it is my intention to <br /> move water and sewer billing to the finance department before the <br /> end of this year. <br /> The final item on the agenda is a resolution declaring the roads in <br /> the City upon which weight limitations will be placed from March 15 <br /> through May 15, 1974. These are the normal weight restrictions that <br /> we use during the spring breakup and by placing these weight limits, <br /> we are able to avert the heavier traffic from our more fragile road <br /> networks. <br />
