0 <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />MINUTES FOR APRIL 13, 1998 <br />( #12) Ferndale Road Project Update - Continued <br />Jabbour expressed his concern about right -of -way acquisition. Orono proposed to have this project <br />completed in 1998 but Plymouth has effectively delayed it until 1999. A meeting is scheduled <br />between Orono and Plymouth staff on Wednesday of this week. <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />Jabbour reported that he had a very positive meeting with the Watershed District. <br />Goetten stated she had received a call from Mrs. Murphy on Ferndale Road. Murphy receives City <br />water from Wayzata's system even though she is billed through Orono. She was concerned about <br />Wayzata's increase in water rates and how it could affect her. She questioned how the water rate is <br />established, and if there is a Senior citizen rate. Gappa will call her to respond to her questions. <br />Peterson asked that Gappa also contact Duane Glew on Brown Road and explain the rationale behind <br />the water rates. <br />Kelley questioned the Investment Policy Statement in place for the City. He had spoken with Tom <br />• Kuehn, Finance Director. Kuehn gave him a copy of the last statement which was done in 1988. <br />Kelley thought this policy should be updated. <br />• <br />Kelley also asked for a commitment from Council regarding not granting area credit for sewered lots <br />of 2.0 acres or more with wetlands. <br />Gaffron explained that without a clarification of the code, a parcel of land with 3 acres dry buildable <br />and 1 acre wetland could potentially be allowed 2 houses if sewer were available. Without sewer, <br />no credit would be given for the wetland. He will provide a report to Council on this issue at the <br />next Council meeting. <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />(* #13)1998 INSURANCE AWARD <br />Peterson moved, Kelley seconded, to award the 1998 insurance package effective January 1, 1998 <br />to the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust for the comprehensive municipal property and <br />casualty package $72,709, for the umbrella excess liability $18,611, for the petrofund reimbursement <br />$574, for the open meeting law $771, for the boiler and machinery $1,277, for the surety bonds <br />$796, and for the golf course liquor liability $582. <br />13 <br />
