ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 11, 1991 <br />( #17)FACILITIES CONTINUED <br />Jabbour stated that the City should first find out which of <br />the Facility Committee members, if any, are still interested in <br />serving in that capacity. He said, "It will then be important <br />for Council to appoint new members and a chair." <br />Callahan suggested that it may not be.necessary for the <br />Facility Committee to continue with the same number of members it <br />initially had. He said, "We can proceed with the number of <br />members that al-e still interested, if that proves to be a <br />majority." <br />Jabbour indicated that he would like to see someone familiar <br />with Orono policies, as well as building knowledge, be appointed <br />to the Committee." <br />Bernhardson stated that the Council could send the letter <br />asking the members to indicate their interest in serving, but <br />that the role of the Committee has not yet been defined. <br />Callahan suggested sending a letter inviting the Facility <br />Committee members to the upcoming Work Session. He said, "We can <br />then see how many members come to the meeting, and determine what <br />we need to do from that point. At least those that attend will <br />get an understanding of the direction we are taking." <br />Jabbour indicated that there may be people who wish to <br />continue serving on the Committee that cannot attend the meeting <br />for one reason or another. <br />Callahan suggested including a question at the bottom of the <br />letter asking them if they wish to continue, and to indicate yes <br />or no. He further suggested that a self - ,:addressed stamped <br />envelope could be included to mail back their response. <br />It was the consensus of Council to accept the information <br />presented by Staff, and to proceed as suggested by Callahan. <br />(#18)STORM WATER MANAGEMENT <br />Bernhardson asked Council if they wished to consider <br />undertaking an overall storm water management program for the <br />City at an approximate cost of $225,000. He said, "In the event <br />Council do -as not wish to consider such a project at this time, <br />perhaps you would like to consider alternate methods of financing <br />storm water projects." <br />Butler asked whether the City needs to have such a plan in <br />response to proposed legislation. <br />Bernhardson replied, "The City should have a .storm water <br />management plan, though it is not yet mandatory to do so.
