MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 9, 1995 <br />(Mayor /Council Report - Continued) <br />• <br />Jim Grube said $30,000 in the overall scheme of a 2 million dollar project is small but <br />understands it is a large amount for the City. He is not willing to give up the $30,000 <br />from the City at this time. Grube said he believes the project is needed and the road is in <br />bad shape. He said it was reasonable to look at areas proposed for wetland mitigation. <br />Jabbour said he would like to pass a resolution tonight regarding the issue with a ceiling <br />on the dollar amount for the right -of -way easements. He noted the rise in the cost from <br />the initial projection to the final cost for the stoplight at Willow Drive and Hwy 12. <br />Grube said this was an important project. He would like to see what can be provided but <br />could not provide a ceiling price. <br />Callahan noted what was missing is a general range for the value of the pond from both <br />the City and the County. He inquired if the Council Members had a range in mind. <br />Hurr said it would be necessary to obtain the facts first. <br />Callahan asked the County to obtain the offsetting figure for the pond before agreeing <br />on the cost. <br />• Jabbour asked Polaczyk if he was comfortable with the $65,000- $70,000 range for the <br />right -of -way costs. Polaczyk said the cost was derived by the right -of -way manager, and <br />the correctness of the amount is based on his skill. <br />C� <br />Callahan asked that the information be provided for the next Council meeting. <br />ENGINEER REPORT <br />(" #15) REQUEST FOR PAYMENT #1 - WILLOW DRIVE STREET <br />IMPROVEMENTS <br />Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to approve payment 91 for the Willow Drive street <br />improvements to Buffalo Bituminous in the amount of $56,948.23.
