MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL <br />MEETING HELD ON NOVEMBER 25, 1996 <br />( #1B - County Road 15 Orono Lane to Wayzata Border - Continued) • <br />Jabbour said he was in favor of the project but not with allowing the cutoff to be taken <br />and receiving only half credit. Polaczyk informed the Council of the cost policy of the <br />County. Callahan told Polaczyk that the policy does not solve the problem and informed <br />him that the City should get credit for the full value of the property. Polaczyk responded <br />that if the cutoff was not used, it would increase the cost to the City. Hurr told him the <br />cost savings would also be to the County. It was noted that all other cities also share a <br />50/50 cost as applicable in County road construction. Callahan told Polaczyk that the <br />City was not in the position to reach a cooperative agreement at this time. <br />Goetten asked when the agreement with the railroad would be reached. Polaczyk said it <br />would occur after January 1, 1997. He explained that the right of entry was required for <br />construction. If condemnation is required, a judge makes the determination and imposes <br />a 90 day rest period and a fair market price is established. Jabbour and Goetten were of <br />the impression that railroad property could not be condemned. <br />Hurr said she was asked why the County spent money for an overlay prior to a major <br />reconstruction. Polaczyk said the overlay was necessary to aid the road in lasting over <br />the winter months ahead. <br />Kelley said he would like to look at specifics of the design. <br />Goetten asked for copies of the design to review. • <br />Jabbour informed Polaczyk that he felt the City would contribute their 50% share but <br />would want 100% credit for the Ferndale Cutoff property without exception. <br />Callahan said it was his opinion that the project as a concept should move forward. <br />Callahan moved, Jabbour seconded, to continue action on the application to the <br />December 9 Council Meeting. Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />( * #2) CONSENT AGENDA <br />Items #4, 6, 7, 9, 17, 18, 19, and 20 were added to the Consent Agenda. <br />Jabbour moved, Hurr seconded, to approve the Consent Agenda as amended. Vote: <br />Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />• <br />
