ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, MAY 8, 2000 Mayor /Council Report, continued • bonding bill passed this year the project will retain its priority position. The Council and staff should remember that the majority of the City is on hold because of the capacity of Highway 12 and sewer availability. Kelley stated the issue facing the fire station committee is how much money MN/DOT will reimburse Long Lake for the construction of the new facility. If MN/DOT doesn't give more than the minimal replacement value, the residents of Orono will have to carry the burden of a large bill. Two million dollars from Orono might be a conservative estimation. Kelley stated they are not comfortable with the site selection and are trying to resolve .a disagreement. Kelley also stated that all sides agree that the fire station could never be next to the Orono City Hall. Mayor Jabbour stated for the record that the Council does not expect the fire station to be located near the Orono City Hall. ENGINEER REPORT *12.
