MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 12, 1996 <br />( #9 - Engineer's Report Feasibility Study - Continued) • <br />Kelley asked what forces are in play in choosing one sewer layout alternative over <br />another. Cook said the determination depends on cost. <br />Callahan indicated that public meetings have been held and the public hearings should <br />now begin. <br />Jabbour asked Gaffron how the proposed cost compares to what was indicated when the <br />meetings were held with the neighbors. Gaffron said the cost has risen 20% but noted <br />that the residents were informed that the costs would be higher. <br />Jabbour asked about the Bay Ridge and Bracketts Point neighborhoods and whether <br />there would be any savings if they were done together. Gaffron said these neighborhoods <br />were still being reviewed. Cook said there would be savings involved if the sewering was <br />done at the same time. <br />The Council agreed that the neighborhood meetings should be held separately. <br />Kelley moved, Jabbour seconded, to adopt Resolution 43803 accepting the feasibility <br />report for the North Long Lake and Long Lake Country Club sanitary sewer <br />improvements and schedule the public hearing regarding the improvements for the <br />Council meeting of January 13, 1997 at 7:00 p.m. Vote: Ayes 4, Nays 0. • <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT <br />( #10) TELECOMMUNICATIONS REGULATION <br />Moorse relayed information regarding telecommunication towers and antennas being <br />placed within the City. Information was given on how it may or may not affect the City's <br />landscape. He asked for direction on how telecommunications towers and antennas <br />should be regulated within the City. The Pouncil agreed that the number should be <br />limited to as few as possible, if any. If so, however, the Council preferred that if antennas <br />needed to be accommodated, the placement should be limited to the current water <br />towers. It was indicated that the presence of such towers and antennas in surrounding <br />communities may enable the service to be provided within Orono without actually <br />requiring the towers and antennas to be located within the City. Mayor Callahan asked <br />that the City receive citizen's input prior to making any final determinations. <br />( #11) DENTAL INSURANCE PLAN <br />Callahan moved, Goetten seconded, to authorize the City to offer the Premier Dental <br />Plan to City Staff with coverage to begin January 1, 1997. <br />• <br />10 <br />
