ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 22, 1990 <br />• CITY FACILITIES CONTINUED <br />located any further south than the Middle School. <br />Ms. Cosgrove said, "The proposal I saw showed the <br />interchange going through the School parking lot." <br />Mr. Carl Parten, 1025 Tonkawa Road, asked when this project <br />was first considered by the Council and if this was the first <br />public information meeting. <br />Mayor Grabek responded that this project has been considered <br />by the City previous to the time he was first elected Mayor. He <br />said, "Since the time I have been Mayor, we have been considering <br />the condition of the present facility and the need for a new one. <br />We have studied the issues and have provided public information <br />via newspaper articles and the Mayor's letter. We have also <br />selected the Citizen's Committee. I don't believe this issue <br />should be a surprise to the public." <br />Mr. Parten indicated that due to his vision impairment, he <br />could not read the newspaper. He stated that he had no notice of <br />this issue until he received a letter today and believed the <br />matter is being hurried along. <br />Mayor Grabek apologized for the problem of getting <br />information to individual citizens. He said, "I believe the <br />• process has been straight forward and has been a matter of public <br />record for some time." <br />Mr. Parten asked whether the Highway 12 site is most <br />preferred by the Council. <br />Mayor Grabek replied, "There is not Council consensus for <br />the Highway 12 site. There is a recommendation from the <br />Architect and the Facilities Committee." <br />Mr. Mike Ellis, 1020 Old Crystal Bay Road, asked if the <br />decision to consolidate all of the City departments into one <br />building was final. <br />Mayor Grabek responded that there cannot be a final decision <br />in that regard until the site is selected. <br />Mr. Ellis stated that it makes more sense to combine all of <br />the departments on one site. He asked what percentage of the <br />costs could be paid from the proceeds of the sale of City <br />property. <br />Mayor Grabek stated that a portion of the sale of the old <br />sewer plant property would be applied to the new facility costs. <br />• Bernhardson stated that the sewer plant property would sell <br />3 - <br />
