ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES FOR MAY 11,1998 ENGINEER REPORT Continued Jabbour reported he was fmstratod w^'h the recent Femdale Road public infonriation meeting. He said the City Council made a mistake allowing Plymouth to be the lead agency and allowing Staff and Engineers to take it from A to Z without Council direction. Plymouth is now frustrated that Orono has made a decision. Jabbour feels that Orono's consultant engineer is working against Orono. He s. .id the City was put in a position to be viewed as if safety was not important when it was. He thinks it should have been handled differently, with the engineering staff to be working with the City. Kellogg responded his intent was to explain the report, and it w'as the transportation engineer for Bonestroo who was talking about safety being the number one priority. Kelley said with the road in its cuTent condition, it is not possible to travel over 30 mph which currently makes it safe. Jabbour said he wants the road to retain the 30 mph speed limit.
