ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING • <br />MINUTES FOR JUNE 28, 1999 <br />( #3 - Webber Hills Sanitary Sewer Project, Continued) <br />opportunity for the residents to become informed as to what is being proposed. <br />Sansevere commented that Jillson appears to have a good background in this area and that it would <br />benefit the City and residents if he would be willing to work together on this project rather than <br />being <br />confrontational. Sansevere stated this is the first opportunity he has had to hear the information <br />regarding this project. <br />Jillson stated he did attend the public hearings conducted by City Staff, noting he does have <br />expertise and knowledge in this field which extends that of City Staff. Jillson remarked that in his <br />opinion City Staff had already predetermined what type of system would be utilized and that his <br />comments for the most part fell on deaf ears. <br />Sansevere stated that the City would like to work together with the local residents. <br />Julie Wiens, 2170 Shevlin Drive, inquired whether the grinder system is indeed a long -term <br />solution to this problem. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated that the grinder system is the system that is utilized from the residence to the <br />City sewer and that the grinder is in reality a pump and is replaced at a nominal cost. • <br />Wiens inquired how long this proposed system is guaranteed to function. <br />Jabbour stated the system should work indefinitely, but that the pump will need to be replaced <br />periodically. <br />Kellogg stated depending on the manufacturer, the pump will last anywhere from five to 12 years, <br />and would need to be replaced at a cost of approximately $500. <br />Mayor Jabbour stated that if the electricity goes out and the residence is not hooked up to a <br />grinder system, there is no way for the sewage to get to the City sewer. Jabbour stated that most <br />people prefer the gravity system. <br />Flint moved, Peterson seconded, to approve and adopt RESOLUTION NO. 4311, <br />a Resolution Ordering the Preparation of Plans and Specifications for the Webber Hills <br />Sanitary Sewer Project with Project Construction and Bonding to be Completed in the <br />Year 2000.
