1. POLICE CONTRACT DISCUSSION —City Administrator Tolsma discussed the proposed
contract for police services with Orono Police that has been brought to the Police Commission.
The proposal from Orono Police is intended to streamline their contracts with current contract
cities so that each city has their own independent contract and base rate.
City Attorney Jensen Beck reviewed the differences between the current formula-based rate
contract versus the proposed escalating base rate contract with Orono Police.
The City Council consensus was to have Police Chief Farniok attend a future City Council work
session to discuss the proposed contract.
City Attorney Jensen Beck asked the Council to review her recommendations on the contract prior
to the work session.
2. SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY DISCUSSION —This item was tabled due to time
constraints.
3. SLIP LINING PROJECT DISCUSSION — City Engineer Kuno discussed the asset
management plan and presented the phased map for prioritizing improvements to the City. The
priority levels were decided based on need, location, project size, and possible coordination with
other projects including Hennepin County projects. The improvement projects have been split up
into seven proposed phases. The three highest priority areas are 1) Sunset Drive and the northeast
section of Spring Park, 2) West Arm Road West, and 3) Interlachen Road, Black Lake Road, and the
south-central section of Spring Park.
