MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON JULY 8, 1996 <br />• ( #12 - Watertown Road Overlay - Continued) <br />Callahan said he was concerned how Staff did not realize the work would be necessary <br />noting the time spent working out such a schedule. Gerhardson said the deterioration <br />showed up over the winter. Cook said the past winter was harder on roads than most <br />winters. <br />Hurr questioned whether improvements on Watertown were desirable. Gerhardson said <br />the overlay was in the long term plan. Other portions of the road have already been <br />overlayed. <br />Hurr moved, Kelley seconded, to approve a bituminous overlay for that portion of <br />Watertown Road west of Stubbs Bay Road to Turnham Road at a cost of $37,000 to be <br />funded from the PIR Fund, and to amend the 1996 Budget to reflect the expenditure <br />from the PIR Fund. Hurr requested signs be placed notifying residents of the work in <br />progress. <br />Callahan said the expense was not a good example of budgeting foresight. Kelley <br />responded that Staff did come under budget last year. He noted that Staff does watch the <br />expenses and has shown the ability to make up costs in other areas. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />• ( #13) PREPARATIONS FOR THE SALE OF MCCULLEY ROAD PROPERTY <br />0 <br />Moorse reported that the estimate on the cost for the survey and plat is increased to <br />$3,500. He did note that septic testing has already been done and will not be necessary. <br />Jabbour asked that Staff spend as needed, not as authorized. Moorse said he would get <br />quotes from several surveyors. <br />When questioning the cost, Hurr inquired if the property would be divided into more than <br />one lot. Moorse indicated in the affirmative. <br />Jabbour moved, Hun seconded, to authorize expenditures not to exceed $3,500 for the <br />plat and survey and lot area variance process, to be funded from the General Fund <br />Contingency account, and amending the budget to reflect these expenditures. Vote: <br />Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( * #14) CONTRACT FOR COMPUTERIZED MAPPING <br />Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to contract with DSU, Inc. for digital mapping <br />services at a cost of $4,000.
