MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON APRIL 24, 1995 <br />• ( #9) HIGHWAY 12 SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - RESOLUTIONS <br />#3552 AND 3553 <br />Callahan said the Council needed to make a decision on whether to spend $300,000 for <br />the installation of the signal at Willow Drive and Highway 12. The contract calls for an <br />amount of $275,000. The difference in the cost amount is for a postponed payment for <br />construction of a pond north of Hwy 12. Cook commented that there was no statement <br />in the agreement on the postponed payment of the pond, though, the issue may come up <br />at a later date. <br />The Council was given information on the MSA cash flow balance. <br />Barrett referred to the contract utilities relocation on pages 8 and 9 of the agreement. <br />Barrett said he was satisified with the wording. <br />Callahan moved, Kelley seconded, to adopt Resolution 93553 approving the Highway 12 <br />traffic signal agreement and Resolution #3552 approving cooperative agreement, <br />authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreements. Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Hurr asked for cost clarification. Long Lake's share of the cost is about $30,000, which <br />is 10% of the cost, while Orono is responsible for 40 %. The storm sewer cost is <br />• $135,050, $30,404 for the signal for a total of $165,453.58. The improvements to <br />Willow Drive will be $100,000. <br />Kelley asked to receive a diagram of what the intersection will look like at Willow Road <br />and to the north. <br />Barrett noted that the agreement stipulated that change orders may be recommended and <br />may include City participation in the cost. The agreement said that the appropriate <br />officials would be notified of any changes. <br />Cook expressed appreciation to Mayor Callahan for his work on the agreement. Cook <br />reported that Callahan is credited with having saved the City approximately $60- 70,000 <br />in negotiated costs. <br />Jabbour commented on the need to explain to the City of Long Lake why the Orono <br />section of the sidewalk is not being done. Long Lake is to pay 10% of the cost and <br />Orono's share would have been 40 %. The estimated cost of $13,000 needs to be <br />recalculated. Long Lake's figure of $1,600 for the cost is in error. The Council had <br />decided that funds were not available to construct the sidewalk. <br />0 <br />
