ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2002 • MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT — Continued Murphy stated that the bid letting for Highway 12 would be delayed until May. The feds used to permit the starting of a project without the purchase of all the necessary properties being complete. Because of too many issues with property owners wanting to change terms of the purchases after projects were begun, they no longer allow that. Now they require the Mn/DOT to own all properties along the right -of -way. Moving of the railroad portion will be delayed by one year, and the entire project will be delayed some. The railroad will now start in 2005, instead of 2004. Murphy stated the Orono and Long Lake Fire Advisory Committees would be meeting regarding Long Lake picking up Navarre. He stated that Long Lake had that day received notice that the fire chief was quitting his job as of December 2nd, and that there would be a special election held on December 2nd as well. He stated that there was the question of how much authority was held by the City and how much by the fire chief. He also stated it was an opportunity to get fresh leadership in the fire department.
