r <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 9, i99» <br />(Mayor/Council Report - Continued) <br />Goetten asked for an update on North Femdale Road Project. Kellogg said the project <br />report for the City of Plymouth should be completed this week. At that time, Plymouth <br />will schedule a public information meeting. <br />Jabbour asked if Plymouth has agreed to Orono's approval of a 28' wide road. Kellogg <br />said Plymouth has asked that all three options be presented in the report for a 28', 32' and <br />36' wide road. Jabbour e.xpressed that presenting these options would waste taxpayers <br />money due to the time delays. He noted that Orono would only approve a 28 ’ wide road <br />and would not agree to any other width. <br />Goetten expressed concern with the delays and the affect on the time line of the project. <br />Flint verified with Kellogg that plans were not being developed for all three road widths. <br />Jabbour asked the cost of preparing plans. Kellogg said the plans including <br />administrative and legal costs run about 15-17% of the whole project; the plans <br />themselves would be about 7-8%. Jabbour said it is important that the Council is aware <br />of the cost for preparing plans. <br />Kellogg acknowledged that the time frame for the project may be affected by the delays. <br />Mike Taylor of the Lakeshore News asked who pays for the plans. Gappa informed him <br />that the cost is split between the two cities. <br />Flint asked about the proceedings from Highway 12 meetings. Jabbour said the issue <br />would be discussed at the work session. Goetten indicated that the design meetings are <br />progressing. The Orono design committee has decided to meet with Long Lake’s design <br />committee to share information. A meeting will then be held with the east and west <br />citizens committees and a public information meeting scheduled. Goetten said they are <br />attempting to hold these meetings prior to the next design meeting. Jabbour noted that <br />past mayor, Ed Callahan, will be present at the work session. He asked that the Planning <br />Commissioners be informed of the work session. Jabbour also noted that he had met <br />with representatives of Long Lake and a joint meeting may be scheduled. <br />ENGINEER REPORT <br />(*#5) AUTHORIZE GRANT APPLICATION FOR 1 & I SEWER REPAIRS <br />RESOLUTION NO. 4030 <br />Goetten moved, Flint seconded, to approve Resolution No. 4030, authorizing the <br />submittal of an 1/1 reduction grant from the Metropolitan Council Environmental <br />Services.
