It had been estimated at $7,000 /year for the City of Orono. Moorse said it will cost an average of $63,000 for all of the ponds to be cleaned yearly. Kelley asked if this process had been done elsewhere before. Moorse said this had been done in Wayzata for the Gleason Creek project. Jabbour reported that a new project is begun yearly within the watershed district. Upcoming projects are Jennings Bay and Painters Creek. In recent conversations Jabbour had with the MCWD, Jabbour asked that they come to agreement with the pond property owners first before meeting with the City of Orono. Jabbour also asked the MCWD to simplify the current agreement. He also questioned how only Orono residents could be assessed. It was indicated that the MCWD will be developing a stormwater plan, and their philosophy is similar to that of the City of Orono. Jabbour also indicated MCWD believes the money should be spent on fixing and not • studying a problem, with 60 -70% of the money going towards a solution. 9
