MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />HELD FEBRUARY 14, 1994 <br />( #14) 1994 INSURANCE POLICY PREMIUM TABULATION AND AWARD is <br />RECOMMENDATION (CONTINUED) <br />computers $500; to the United Fire and Casualty for surety bonds $1,505; and to <br />The League of Cities Insurance Trust for open meeting law coverage $830. Ayes <br />5, nays 0. <br />Mayor Callahan felt that there was a possibility that the ball park may not be <br />within the authority of the City and therefore sovereign immunity may not apply. <br />He would like to be sure that the insurance covers this, and if it does not, then <br />they will have to get coverage. <br />( #15) REQUEST FOR DESIGNATION OF FUNDING FOR THE DRUG <br />ABUSE RESISTANCE EDUCATION (DARE) PROGRAM <br />Moorse reviewed this request. <br />Jabbour moved, Hurr seconded, to designate the $1,016.77 special drug prevention <br />revenue distribution toward the DARE program and to authorize the use of drug <br />forfeiture funds in an amount not to exceed $600 for the 1994 DARE program. <br />Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />( #16) RECONSIDERATION - TAX FORFEIT PROPERTY <br />Moorse reviewed the status of the tax forfeit property and noted that the former <br />owner has applied to redeem or repurchase the property. He noted that the <br />Council may want to reconsider its position in light of this. Discussion ensued <br />regarding whether the property was usable as park land, and the Council felt that <br />they should continue with the City's interest in the property and see what <br />happens. <br />Jabbour moved, Hurr seconded, that the City retain its interest in the property <br />and pursue it to the end. Ayes 4, nays 1. <br />Mayor Callahan stated he was opposed to that policy because it was not suitable <br />for park land, and the City would only incur additional unnecessary expense in <br />pursuing this. <br />( #17) WATER TOWER ANTENNA REQUEST <br />• <br />Moorse reviewed the request from Safe Link Corporation to install an antenna on <br />the water tower located behind the City offices. Jabbour stated he felt that would <br />be acceptable since the antenna is only 6 feet in height, and was used primarily <br />for pagers. Hurr stated she felt that it should be open to the highest bidders and • <br />she did not support this proposal. She felt more money should be charged for <br />
