. V. <br />r <br />MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING - SEPTEMBER 23, 1391 <br />POLICE SERVICE CONTRACT WITH LONG LAKE - CONT. <br />Candace Rowlette,3775 Bayside Road,and a Planning <br />Commission member, commented as a business owner of Long Lake she <br />was not happy with the motion, and as a citizen of Orono she was <br />not happy about carrying Long Lake's portion of the service. She <br />did note that Orono has let this go on for a long time and <br />thereby has set a precedent of Long Lake being able to pay late. <br />She felt that the Council already has many issues before them <br />that require much time and felt that adding another at this time <br />was not a good Idea.She noted that she Is concerned about what <br />this will do with the relationship between the two cities on <br />work'ng on Highway 12. <br />Butler noted that at the last meeting she attended with the <br />two cities, she noted absolutely no headway at all In working <br />towards a common goal and explained that currently the <br />administrative task Involved In keeping this contract has become <br />so cumbersome that nothing else Is getting done. <br />Rowlette felt that perhaps Long Lake would then retaliate by <br />cancelling fire protection for Orono. <br />Butler noted that police and fire services are under a legal <br />binding contract and since the City of Orono Is holding up their <br />end of the deal with the fir*a contract, we should have no <br />problem. <br />Rowlette asked If other contract cities are late In <br />payments. <br />the 1 r <br />Jabbour noted they are always cn time. <br />Goetten declared this Issue has gone on far too long and <br />felt that the Council has made their decision based on facts and <br />professional advice. <br />(#20) FIRE SERVICE PROVISION ALTERNATIVES <br />Moorse explained that he had submitted to the Council a memo <br />that laid out the alternatives for fire protection for the City. <br />Mayor Peterson asked If all the City’s fire contracts are <br />the same. <br />Moorse indicated that they are not. <br />Goetten felt that we should be prepared In case the need to <br />change fire protection service arises. <br />Butler* directed the City Administrator to provide an In- <br />depth analysis of fire protection alternatives at the October <br />28th Council meeting.
