• <br />• <br />MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />October June 25, 2001 <br />(Long Lake /Orono Fire Station, Continued) <br />from each city who will handle budgeting and operations, and questioned whether the joint <br />construction committee needs to continue. <br />White moved, Sansevere seconded, to delete Section 5.d — Joint Committee, from the Contract <br />for Joint Ownership. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />Persian stated in his understanding the joint committee this section is referring to would bring items <br />for consideration to the joint advisory committee. Persian stated once the construction of the building <br />is complete, the joint committee would be dissolved. <br />Bash stated Section 5.d would go under Item #5, page five, which is the joint fire station construction <br />committee. <br />Persian stated to his understanding if there is an item that exceeds $10,000, the joint construction <br />committee needs to go to the cities for approval. <br />Barrett stated the language reads that the joint committee shall be responsible to oversee the operation <br />and maintenance of the Replacement Fire Station. <br />Persian stated the intent of this paragraph was that as construction proceeded forward, if a certain item <br />exceeded $10,000, they must get the approval of the cities before proceeding forward. <br />Mayor Peterson suggested that Long Lake clarify that language. <br />Flint commented that perhaps what they intended to say was any expenditure of funds shall be subject <br />to approval of the two city councils. <br />Bash commented in his view they are not able to spend more than what has been budgeted. <br />Mayor Peterson inquired whether this language should be deleted at this time until further the <br />language is clarified. <br />Barrett recommended the two city administrators work out some language regarding that the joint <br />construction committee functions during the construction of the replacement fire station, and once <br />completed, that committee would cease functioning, and all items go through the joint advisory <br />committee. <br />Flint moved, Peterson seconded, to request the Long Lake and Orono City Administrators <br />work out some appropriate language relating to the dissolution of the joint construction <br />committee following completion of the Replacement Fire Station and language relating to the <br />responsibilities of the joint advisory committee following construction. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />PAGE 23 <br />
