,� . <br /> CMP Part 4F. Public Services Plan <br /> POTENTIAL CONSO�IDATION WIT�I�ONG LAKE <br /> In 1999 a joint Consolidation Study Committee was appointed by the Orono and <br /> Long Lake city councils to study the potential for consolidation of the two cities. <br /> After a 9-month study process the committee concluded that there were <br /> substantial benefits and a number of concerns related to consolidation. The <br /> committee recommended in favor of the consolidation. Both City Councils <br /> voted to put the question to the voters at the September 12, 2000 primary <br /> election. Orono residents overwhelmingly voted in favor of consolidation; Long <br /> Lake voters turned down the proposition, approximately 60% voting against the <br /> merger. <br /> Despite the failed merger vote, Orono remains supportive of consolidation. <br /> Orono will continue to cooperate with the City of Long Lake in the provision of <br /> public services, and will work together with Long Lake on common issues <br /> shared by the two communities. <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2008-2030 Page 4F-49 <br />
