MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING October June 25, 2001 u (Long Lake /Orono Fire Station, Continued) Sansevere stated in his opinion the Orono City Council should be able to reach satisfactory conclusions on most, if not all, of the items contained in the June 201h memorandum. Mayor Peterson noted the Long Lake City Administrator has listed 12 issues in her memorandum that the Orono City Council should consider tonight. Bash stated it is his belief that the Long Lake City Council formally approved an agreement that they believed the Orono City Council had agreed in principal to and which will be approved tonight. Flint stated the document that the Long Lake City Council formally approved is different than the document that is before the Orono City Council tonight. Bash indicated the Long Lake City Council has formally approved twice two contracts that they thought the Orono City Council was in agreement with. Bash noted Mn/DOT has set a deadline of Friday of this week by which the two cities need to enter into an agreement or Mn/DOT will be retracting its offer. Bash inquired whether the Orono City Council can accept and approve the document that the Long Lake City Council has presented to them. Sansevere inquired if that meant as is. Bash stated yes. 40 Sansevere stated in his view it is very unlikely the Orono City Council would approve the document approved by the Long Lake City Council in its present form. Bash stated if a different agreement is approved tonight, the Long Lake City Council will need to hold a special meeting in order to approve yet another agreement. Sansevere stated the Long Lake City Administrator knew the documents being approved by the Long Lake City Council were not the final versions approved by the Orono City Council. Mayor Peterson reiterated that the Orono City Council should go through the items listed in the June 20`h memorandum one by one to see whether the Orono Council is in agreement with them. Sansevere stated it is the desire of the Orono City Council to give the document the best chance for approval. Flint noted the fire protection agreement does not need to be approved by Friday. Moorse stated the document approved by the Long Lake City Council does address or does agree with the issues that were work out in the meeting with Jim Pearson and Dave Benson. Moorse stated some of the 12 items contained in the June 20`h memorandum were either not discussed at that meeting or need some further clarification. Sansevere stated he is in agreement with making a motion and seconding it to approve the settlement agreement and then discussing each of the 12 items contained in the memorandum. PAGE 14
