There has been no indication that existing High\/ay <br />12 would be torn up and removed, so there will ^ust be more <br />blacktop to repair, maintain, and pay for. To put the corridor <br />anywhere other than where it is now, \/ould be politically and <br />financially foolish." <br />Jabbour referred to the traffic forecasts and stated that if <br />there is any validity to the numbers indicated, life in Orono, as <br />it is now, will cease to exist, once the corridor is changed. <br />Mayor Peterson noted that Ann Cosgrove's information <br />indicated a need for Orono representatives to meet with <br />|T0pj^Qg0ntatives from the City of Long Lake. She asked Ann if she <br />was referring to Councilmembers or citizens meeting together. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that Orono Councilmembers are waiting for <br />the City of Long Lake to take a position on the issue before <br />holding a joint meeting. <br />Ann said, "Initially, we would like to have liaisons between <br />Council and our groups so we can work together. It would be <br />helpful if \#e could ask the City to provide us with some <br />information, such as well locations, etc., rather than having to <br />I)if0 •omeone to do that. Ue would like Orono Councilraerabers to <br />work with us to eliminate duplication, and focus our efforts more <br />efficiently.” <br />Jabbour noted that Cosgrove's group has scheduled o meeting <br />with Long Lake residents for June 1. <br />Ann stated that is correct- and that citizens from Long Lake <br />have indicated they will bring in a mediator and want only four <br />^•■idents from each city to attend. She said, "I am still not <br />sure if they want City Council people to attend." <br />Jabbour suggested that the meeting may be more beneficial if <br />Councilmembers are not in attendance because of the other <br />political issues that may bog down discussions on Highway 12- <br />Nayor Peterson asked Ann if there has been a decision on <br />which four Orono residents x^ould attend. <br />Ann replied, "Sherokee Use and I are deciding which of us <br />should go in addition to Ben Field, Bruce Carlson, and John <br />Coleman. ** <br />Callahan asked what need there is for a mediator. <br />Cosgrove indicated that she did not know, it was suggested <br />by the people from Long Lake. <br />- 14 - <br />. .._J
