MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, July 28, 2003 <br />• 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(LONG LAKE FIRE STATION STORMWATER DRAINAGE OPTIONS, Continued) <br />As is not currently the case, Murphy maintained that the City needs to have the north <br />corner built right. He pointed out that many `experts' and others disagree on what is an <br />adequate solution. He asked the Council to avoid making a decision in a big hurry without <br />adequate information. He wondered if the observations made by laymen all along may <br />have been right. <br />Gappa stated that he, Engineer Kellogg, and Moorse had visited the site that morning to <br />see whether option 1 or 2 was better than the other. He indicated that they believed more <br />information was necessary to make that recommendation. <br />Mayor Peterson indicated that she would discuss the options and situation with Mayor <br />Shafer later in the week. <br />Moorse indicated that the entrances on the north, west, and east, were all in need of a <br />solution. He stated that if Option 1 or 2 are to be considered, the City needs to take a look <br />at the different slope grades to determine how it was supposed to have worked. He stated <br />that it may end up costing $35,000 to get the slope steeper and directed away from the <br />building. He acknowledged that there was much work to be done, that the curb, concrete, <br />• part of the roadway, etc. would need to be torn out and he wanted to ensure that what is put <br />back is appropriate. <br />E <br />Murphy moved, Mayor Peterson seconded, to table the selection of an option for <br />addressing site drainage issues at the north side of the Long Lake Fire Station. <br />VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. <br />Murphy reiterated that there are serious problems with the north, west, east, and backside <br />of the building and suggested a survey be done for the whole site. <br />Moorse stated that the City needs to ensure that they have a representative present <br />throughout the entire process on behalf of the city's interests. <br />CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT <br />Attorney Barrett indicated that the City would be pursuing litigation against the Cables. <br />White asked that the fence be included in the list of items not removed to date. <br />PAGE 17 of 18 <br />
