MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON OCTOBER 23, 1995 • ( #12 - County Road 15 Project - Continued) Callahan asked what the County required at this time. Grube said he anticipated receiving a resolution of support for the project. Grube said the County would then normally begin formalizing the plans and specifications keeping in contact with City Staff and returning at a later date to discuss the right -of -way acquisition costs. Hurr said she was in support of both parts of the project. The cost estimate of $62,000 compared to approving a $32,000 overlay for the north end of Willow is an amount that would far more benefit Orono residents according to Hurr. Goetten said the City would gain a better understanding once the second phase of the project design was completed. Jabbour said he understood the need for a moral commitment from the City to proceed with the project. Grube said it would take months to complete the plans, and he would not return before the Council for some time. It was noted that the County would incur thousands of dollars in costs to execute the final plans for the project. Grube said he understood the County would have to explain any major changes in cost and would work with Staff during the planning process. • Callahan said he would agree with the County proceeding with the study. The Council would need to vote on the final costs when they are determined. • Jabbour said he felt the County has done what they said they would, but asks that the County find alternate mitigation sites as he feels the City should not give up the land for mitigation for a sum of only $7,500. Polaczyk said if there became the need to go outside of the City for wetland mitigation, the costs would change_ Hurr moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution #3626. Grube said it was the requirement of the County Board to ask the City to tentatively identify the source of funds for the project. Callahan reported that the funds would be through tax dollars. He indicated no tax increment financial district was involved. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0.
