MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />October June 25, 2001 <br />• <br />(Long Lake /Orono Fire Station, Continued) <br />Sansevere stated the taxpayers of Orono would also be picking up some of the expenses associated <br />with the new fire station. <br />Bash noted he is not here tonight to negotiate this agreement on behalf of Long Lake. Bash in his <br />view the City of Long Lake views the $13,200 and the $3,000 as two separate items. Bash stated <br />Long Lake may have a concern if the $13,200 is removed from the settlement agreement and whether <br />it will be included in the budget. <br />Sansevere suggested the Orono City Council vote on whether to approve the $13,200 administration <br />fee and then vote separately on the $3,000. <br />Mayor Peterson stated it is her and Council Member Flint's feeling that the $3,000 item should not be <br />included in the Settlement Agreement. <br />Sansevere stated he would be in agreement with that as well. <br />Flint stated he has a problem with the language being proposed by Long Lake since it says the <br />administration fee will be negotiated later. Flint stated he was agreeable with the S13,200 as long as <br />the City of Orono did not have to negotiate that amount every year. Flint stated in his vie,,-%- the $3,000 <br />charge is a double administration fee. <br />Sansevere commented it was a mistake to use the word rental in the agreement. • <br />Flint stated this item could be discussed at the time the fire protection agreement is being, considered. <br />Moorse indicated the administration fee is really more of an administration overhead fee that is <br />incurred by the City of Long Lake. Moorse stated this fee would cover costs incurred by the Long <br />Lake Staff in computing payroll and working on other issues related to the fire station. <br />Bash stated the City of Long Lake incurs costs related to the fire station. <br />Nygard stated that fee should be called an administration fee to cover those costs rather than rent. <br />Bash stated the 10 percent administrative fee that Orono charges to all of its contract cities goes into <br />the general fund. <br />Murphy agreed it should not be called rent. <br />Bash commented it appears that Orono is not opposed to the $3,000 fee but is rather opposed to it <br />being called rent. <br />Mayor Peterson stated that is correct and suggested the word rent be removed from the agreement. <br />Nygard stated in order to construct a new fire station, which will be an improvement over the existing <br />one, all the cities involved will need to incur some additional costs. <br />0 <br />PAGE 18 <br />
