MINUTES OF REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 28,1988 • CLEAN WATER GRANT #2506 CONTINUED The M.C.W.D. has indicated that they would probably go ahead with the grant application based upon their own funds, but they would welcome support from the City of Orono. Apart from the grant application, the funding for this project, should it proceed, would be 50% from the State, with another 20% possible. The balance would need to come from the District as a whole. Bernhardson had asked what percentage of the District would apply to Orono, but that information had not yet been determined. Bernhardson estimated the percentage to be under 10% of the tax base.
