(10 MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, January 26, 2004 7:00 o'clock p.m. 9. CITY OF MEDINA REQUEST FOR SERVICE - KELLER ESTATES DEVELOPMENT, Continued Murphy questioned whether the $200,000 would be paid when the costs were truly incurred. He felt the motion was too loose and should require the payment be made ahead of time. Moorse indicated that the City would also require a letter of credit so that it could obtain the money when needed. Bohl stated that they had also considered this question and would be willing to work with staff to determine the best way to process the claim. He suggested an assessment be applied to the construction in 2 years for the future development of the road. Murphy objected to assessing funds over a 2 -3 year period as homes are developed. Bohl stated that the development would likely be built out in 2 -2' /z years, with hook up to begin late summer. Sansevere suggested that the approval be contingent upon the money being available and a letter of credit for security being obtained prior to the first hook -up, all be added to the motion. Sansevere moved, Murphy seconded, to approve the request to add the sewer flow from the proposed 21 additional housing units in Medina to the trunk sewer line in Orono that • currently serves the Medina Morningside development, subject to the developer contributing $200,000 toward the cost of the intersection improvements at Willow Drive and County Road 6 and contingent upon the City obtaining a letter of credit or other acceptable form of security prior to the first sewer hook -up, and review and approval of the proposed drainage plans. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT 10. PAY REQUEST - NAVARRE FIRE STATION Murphy expressed his concern with regard to ongoing problems associated with the Long Lake Fire Station and their relationship with Constructive Ideas representative Bill Wolters. Murphy maintained that there are a series of ongoing minor irritants that have not yet been resolved at the Long Lake Fire Station. Although a great facility, Murphy questioned the commitment of Rochon to correct things. He suggested that, if the City's concerns are not addressed and irritants repaired by the next Council meeting, the City hire someone other than Rochon to complete these and deduct the cost from what is owed Rochon. Sansevere stated that the Council could move to approve the funds owed to BKV Group only. Murphy maintained that the offender is Rochon, and hoped the Council could send the message to everyone that in no more than 3 weeks, just such a motion would be entertained. PAGE 7 of 10
