MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING — SEPTEMBER 9, 1991 <br />MAYOR /COUNCIL REPORT — CONT. <br />Callahan added that lower insurance rates may be available <br />if the fire station were located in a different place or somehow <br />provided to Orono residents differently. He noted the study <br />should include other areas in which increased service might be of <br />some value to Orono. <br />Goetten noted that the contract is up January 1, 1992, but <br />the deadline for changes is September 20th. She assumed that <br />nothing would be changed for next year. <br />Jabbour expressed that he has very serious concerns <br />regarding this issue. <br />Callahan noted that not only does Orono have a deadline for <br />stating concerns, but Long Lake has the same deadline to provide <br />the proposed budget to Orono, which in the past has not happened. <br />Callahan went on to explain the problems with the police <br />contract. He requested from the City Attorney a dollar amount <br />owed by Long Lake to Orono and has now realized that they owe for <br />both 1989 and 1990. <br />Barrett explained they owe $9,900 for overtime incurred in <br />1989. He recounted that the remainder of the amounts due involve <br />undisputed amounts which are unpaid. <br />Callahan suggested that the City Administrator write a <br />letter to Long Lake specifying in the farm of a bill what is due <br />and explaining those charges. He noted if nothing is done by <br />September 22nd, they take the matter up at that point. <br />Goetten noted that a deadline should be specified. <br />Jabbour directed that the letter indicate response should be <br />directed to the City Administrator. <br />Butler asked if any of the 1991 fees have been paid by Long <br />Lake for police service. <br />It was moved by Callahan, seconded by Jabbour, to direct the <br />City Administrator to write a letter to Long Lake specifying in <br />the form of a bill what is due and explaining those charges, and <br />directing them to respond by September 22, 1991. Ayes 5, nays 0. <br />It was moved by Callahan, to inform the City Administrator <br />of the policy of the City Council that he is to deal solely with <br />Long Lake or delegate this authority to staff members at his <br />discretion. <br />10 <br />
