ORONO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING HELD AUGUST 27, 1990 <br />LIVINGSTON AVENUE DRAINAGE CONTINUED • <br />money the City received when they sold the lot to Cuffs. I would <br />like to the City use that money directed toward solving this <br />problem by re- purchasing the lot to allow surface draining. If <br />that is not possible, then the City should pay for the <br />underground system." <br />Mayor Grabek asked what the next step is for the City to <br />take. <br />Gerhardson replied, "The City needs to direct the City <br />Engineer to prepare the plans and specifications." <br />Cook said "That would cost the City approximately 10% of <br />the project cost, plus whatever was spent on the feasibility <br />study." <br />Gerhardson estimated the cost of that phase to be $2,500.00. <br />Cook stated that the approximate cost of the project, based <br />on 1989 figures, will be $30,000.00. <br />Callahan suggested holding the Public Hearing in advance of <br />the plans and specs being prepared. <br />Nettles asked if the lack of Ms. Banchie's signature on the <br />petition will affect the needed 35%. • <br />Gerhardson stated that Ms. Cuff secured extra signatures to <br />compensate. <br />Mayor Grabek stated, in response to Callahan's suggestion, <br />that if the remaining 65% of the area residents were in favor of <br />the project, they would have signed the petition. <br />Cook stated that he agreed with Callahan that the Public <br />Hearing be held first to inform all of the neighbors about the <br />cost. <br />Mayor Grabek also agreed.
