MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON MARCH 25,1996 <br />• (Mayor /Council - Continued) <br />Callahan also inquired about sewer testing. Gerhardson said bids for metering were being <br />accepted on March 22. Orono was included in the bid process, and locations for <br />metering were being discussed. Callahan said Long Lake would like to be involved in <br />this process. <br />Cook said he had spoken with the Long Lake administrator and engineer, who were <br />going to be involved in setting up new metering areas. <br />Jabbour said the Council treats the contract cities differently as Long Lake, Spring Park, <br />and Minnetonka Beach abut or are encompassed by Orono. Jabbour said the City needs <br />to work diligently with these cities especially when services are traded amongst them. <br />Jabbour said issues of joint ventures, such as the MUSA line and metering, need a <br />cooperative working relationship. <br />Goetten said that the City needs to assure these cities that they are valued communities. <br />Jabbour added that the City must also show that they are a reliable service provider. <br />ENGINEER REPORT <br />There was no Engineer's report. <br />• CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />is <br />(#8) REQUEST FOR EXPANDED USE OF BEDERWOOD BASEBALL FIELD <br />Don Meyers was present, representing Orono Girls Softball Association. <br />Callahan said it was his understanding that the Girls Softball Association was seeking <br />City Council approval to grant the usage of Bederwood for an extra night per week so <br />this night could be exchanged with the Boys OBA night at Holbrook, where the girls play <br />softball. He noted that the Girls Softball did not find playing softball to be satisfactory at <br />Bederwood. <br />Meyers said Bederwood was not a softball field as it contains a pitching mound and grass <br />infield. He confirmed to Callahan that Bederwood was not satisfactory for girls softball. <br />
