Wayzata Today TV news - May 11 - Orono City Council, School Board to meet tonight

The Orono City Council will meet tonight at 7 p.m.

Among the items on the council's agenda is a request from the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission to purchase the building it currently leases. The LMCC had previously been in negotiations to purchase the Southshore Community Center in Shorewood, but the deal fell through.

The council is also expected to vote on the Orono Police Department's request to hire a part-time community service officer and to implement a safe and sober program.

Right across the street at the same time the Orono Board of Education will also meet.

The budget is a little light this evening, but Keith Jurek - the DECA advisor at Orono High School - will present the board with the DECA students activities for this year and Assistant Superintendent Neal Lawson will update the board on the 2008-09 revised budget and a review of the preliminary budget for 2009-10.
