MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING <br />` HELD SEPTEMBER 14, 1992 <br />LONG LAKE FIRE CONTRACT - CONT. <br />Callahan reiterated at the special meeting held on August 18th, <br />both Dietson and the Mayor of Long Lake stated that Long Lake was <br />going to pay for the capital equipment and it was suggested to Long <br />Lake that Orono.would accept that offer. He noted the equipment <br />Long Lake was going to pay for was $28,000 and now they are <br />proposing to pay for $14,000 worth of equipment. He said it <br />occurred to him that Long Lake did not have the money to pay for <br />the equipment, but he has read in the newspaper that not only do <br />they have money to pay for the $28,000, but indeed they have enough <br />to pay for the whole fire department. <br />Mayor Peterson noted the approval of the proposal was tabled at the <br />August 18th meeting because she had not received, the proposal in <br />time to properly review. She reiterated that Moorse has been <br />listening to five different people and may have felt the Council <br />was going to accept a three year contract. She stated after their <br />meeting with Moorse the previous Thursday afternoon, he was aware <br />of the Council's position. <br />Dietson said he was not authorized to accept a one year contract <br />and would need to take the counter offer back to Long Lake for <br />their,consideration. <br />It was moved by Jabbour, seconded by Mayor Peterson, to direct the <br />City Administrator to negotiate a one year contract prior to <br />September 22, 1992 based on terms of the contract submitted by Long <br />Lake at the special meeting held on August 18, 1992. Ayes 3, nays <br />2. Callahan and Butler voted nay. Motion carried. <br />Mayor Peterson asked Loomis to consider another special meeting to <br />discuss the contract. <br />( #14) SPECIAL EVENT PERMIT - VIKING BASSMASTERS' FISHING TOURNAMENT <br />Tom Nelson and Ted Kowalski were present. <br />Kowalski explained the bass club is similar to soft ball groups. <br />He stated the tournament has been held at North Shore Marina-for <br />the last 16 years, and is geared toward family involvement. He <br />noted they are a non - profit organization and they donate any money <br />made on the tournament. He said they try to keep the group as quiet <br />as possible. They launch at North Arm and have inspectors on site <br />looking for exotics. He felt by denying their license, the Council <br />would not be putting any pressure on North Shore Marina as they do <br />not get any benefit from the event. <br />11 <br />
