The County will not enter into agreements for <br />these facilities with private owners. This is a standard format agreement used by the County for <br />these Qrpes of facilities that are not serving a County Highway use. This agreement describes the <br />ownership and maintenance responsibilities for the tunnel required of the City. This agreement <br />places the ultimate responsibility for the tunnel on the City of Orono. <br />A separate agreement is being proposed between the City of Orono and Spring Hill Golf Course <br />that will transfer the responsibilities of the City/ County agreement to Spring Hill w’th provisions <br />to protect the City in the event of nonperformance by the golf course. This concept of a City/ <br />County agreement and a separate agreement between the City and Spring Hill Golf Course was <br />included as a condition in the Council resolution granting zoning approval for the project. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Consideration for approval of the agreement between the City of Orono and Hennepin Co unty for <br />the ownership and maintenance of the Spring Hill Golf Course Tunnel under County Road 6.
