He added he appreciated the invitation to the work sessions. He suggested the negotiators be instructed to negotiate on the following bases: a) they accept the offer made by Long Lake contingent upon Long Lake contributing $28,000 to the capital budget, and b) that the Committee be informed as to the relative positions of Orono and running the department, i.e. 80% of the fires and the funding is contributed by Orono. He felt that fact should be recognized. Jabbour' reiterated that the Council is appreciative of the invitation, but explained that Orono traditionally has left administrative issues to staff. Callahan felt the invitation would allow them to find out how the department actually functions, but added most of their questions were more technical. 10
