ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD OCTOBER 22, 1990 <br />CITY FACILITIES CONTINUED <br />opportunity to express tneir concerns, suggestions and questions <br />Mr. Jerry Sveeggen, 1525 Bay Ridge, asked for clarification <br />regarding the action proposed for this evening. <br />Mayor Grabek explained that following an analysis to <br />determine whether a new facility is actually needed, the City <br />undertook a space study. He said, "The space study neiped us <br />determine what we needt'd within a facility to properly conduct <br />business. Follov/ing that process. Council and Staff reviewed <br />building types and sites. Staff toured five or six different <br />city halls to view various construction materials and methods. <br />We then reviewed various building designs provided by the <br />Architect and are now at a point of selecting a site.

I believe f.hat a new facility is important if we are <br />to retain the good staff we have and encourage future <br />employment." <br />Ms. Ann Cosgrove, Foxridge Road, asked how much <br />consideration is being given to the plans to upgrade Highway 12. <br />Mayor Grabek stated that the upgrade of Highway 12 is <br />considered in any plans for rr>nstruction in that area. He said, <br />"The property is located £ar enougk tack, that sh^md the upgrade <br />take place along the existing corridor, it should jve little <br />impact on a new facility." <br />Ms. Cosgr've said, "The proposed location shown by the <br />Highway Department last week is the present corridor with an <br />Interchange going down Old Crystal Bay Road.
