MINUTES OF THE OROHO COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 24, 1939 <br />HIGHWAY 12 SEWER/WATBR IMPROVEMENTS <br />PUBLIC HEARING 7:25 P.N. TO 7:30 P.M. <br />RESOLUTION #2668 <br />The Affidavit of Publication was duly no-ed. <br />City Administrator Bernhard, on explained that this project <br />would include construction of water and sewer trunk improvements <br />from Brown Road to just west of Willow. The City does have a j% <br />petition of the property owners between Brown and Willow. <br />City Engineer Cook provided a detailed description of what <br />the project would entail. <br />Bernhardson said that initially the City understood that <br />there would be four property owners participating in this <br />project. However the property owners tp the west of Willow have <br />indicated that they do not wish to participate. Bernhardson said <br />that the City can still go ahead with the project serving only <br />the property owners between Willow and Brown Road. With regard <br />to the Wear property, the City does have other alternatives for <br />that share of the cost. <br />Mr. Albert Yngve, an attorney for two of the land owners <br />west of Willow, submitted an Objection to Improvement Project. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan read the contents of the Objection. <br />There were no further comments fron’ the public and the <br />public hearing was closed. <br />CounciImember Nettles asked to be informed as to the <br />specific reasons that the Ore. Center Properties objected to the <br />improvement project. <br />Mr. Yngve said that the Partnership objected to the proposal <br />because they d'*d not feel that it was necessary to run the sewer <br />line in an up and down fashion in order to avoid Long Lake. The <br />Partnership preferred to see the City of Orono v.ork with the City <br />of Long Lake. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the City of <br />Orono had tried to reach a resolve with the City of Long Lake to <br />no avail. Bernhardson pointed cut that if Long Lake had been <br />included in this project, the assessment cost for the Oro’^o <br />Center Properties would have increased because there would have <br />been less units to share in the cost. Bernhardson further stated <br />that the City of Orono had been considering the need for a well <br />and new water tower for quite some time. <br />It was moved by CcunciImember Nettles, seconded by <br />CounciImemLer Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2668, awarding the <br />bid to Albrecht Excavating Inc. for the sanitary sewer and water <br />project on Highway 12, per attachment "C.
