MINUTES OF THE ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 24, 1989 <br />• HIGHWAY 12 SEWER/WATER IMPROVEMENTS <br />PUBLIC HEARING 7:25 P.M. TO 7:30 P.M. <br />RESOLUTION #2668 <br />The Affidavit of Publication was duly noted. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained that this project <br />would include construction of water and sewer trunk improvements <br />from Brown Road to just west of Willow. The City does have a 35% <br />petition of the property owners between Brown and Willow. <br />City Engineer Cook provided a detailed description of what <br />the project would entail. <br />Bernhardson said that initially the City understood that <br />there would be four property owners participating in this <br />project. However the property owners to the west of Willow have <br />indicated that they do not wish to participate. Bernhardson said <br />that the City can still go ahead with the project serving only <br />the property owners between Willow and Brown Road. With regard <br />to the Wear property, the City does have other alternatives for <br />that share of the cost. <br />Mr. Albert Yngve, an attorney for two of the land owners <br />west of Willow, submitted an Objection to Improvement Project. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan read the contents of the Objection. <br />• There were no further comments from the public and the <br />public hearing was closed. <br />Councilmember Nettles asked to be informed as to the <br />specific reasons that the Orono Center Properties objected to the <br />improvement project. <br />Mr. Yngve said that the Partnership objected to the proposal <br />because they did not feel that it was necessary to run the sewer <br />line in an up and down fashion in order to avoid Long Lake. The <br />Partnership preferred to see the City of Orono work with the City <br />of Long Lake. <br />City Administrator Bernhardson explained that the City of <br />Orono had tried to reach a resolve with the City of Long Lake to <br />no avail. Bernhardson pointed out that if Long Lake had been <br />included in this project, the assessment cost for the Orono <br />Center Properties would have increased because there would have <br />been less units to share in the cost. Bernhardson further stated <br />that the City of Orono had been considering the need for a well <br />and new water tower for quite some time. <br />It was moved by Councilmember Nettles, seconded by <br />Councilmember Goetten, to adopt Resolution #2668, awarding the <br />bid to Albrecht Excavating Inc. for the sanitary sewer and water <br />project on Highway 12, per attachment "C ". Motion, Ayes =3, <br />Nays =O, Motion passed. <br />3 <br />
