� MINUTES OF THE <br /> ' ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,November 25,2013 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (3. CSAH II2 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, Continued) <br /> Grube stated that is something he would look at himself and that he would attempt to get the two parties <br /> to reach an agreement. Grube stated he would approach that from the perspective of the two cities asking <br /> themselves what the value would be and how it would impact the future. Grube noted the majority of the <br /> discretionary spending is in Long Lake rather than Orono and that he knows they are looking at that <br /> closely. <br /> McMillan asked if Hennepin County would do the design work on Willow and then the City would pay <br /> for the construction. <br /> Grube stated that is an option the City could go with it. Grube noted the$140,000 also includes design <br /> and engineering. Grube stated if, for example,there is$19,000 worth of engineering costs,the <br /> construction cost would be$120,000. If the City would like Hennepin County to do that,they would <br /> charge the City 10 percent of the construction costs and 8 percent for construction oversight. Grube <br /> indicated the City is also free to do their own design and construction oversight. <br /> McMillan asked if the Council should go through the line items tonight. <br /> Grube indicated he is here tonight to assist the City Council in their decision making but that it is the <br /> Council's choice on whether to proceed tonight or at some time in the future. <br /> McMillan asked whether the City Council should prioritize the preliminary design items. McMillan <br /> asked whether Hennepin County would go ahead and design an item even if the City is not interested in <br /> it. <br /> Grube stated if an item is a nonstarter,they would not start work on that. Grube stated if there is an item <br /> that Long Lake is very interested in but Orono is not,he would engage the two cities in discussion to see <br /> what the right decision is. <br /> Mayor McMillan opened the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. <br /> Ralph Kempf, 3675 Togo Road,asked as it relates to the sidewalk from Old Crystal Bay Road to the west <br /> of the school property,whether that is a sidewalk going from one destination to another. Kempf stated he <br /> is not remembering if there is anything to the west to walk to. <br /> McMillan stated it was something the school requested. <br /> Grube stated Hennepin County had elected to leave that portion of the trail all the way to County Road 6 <br /> out of the layout but the school district had indicated they would like some segment of that trail included. <br /> Grube stated as you look at it 10 to 20 years out,the school district may have a different access to their <br /> campus. <br /> McMillan stated she knows there is a gated road to the left that goes up towards the school's facilities but <br /> it might be something that they wish to open up at some point. <br /> Anderson noted that segment of trail would end at that road rather than go all the way up to County <br /> Road 6. <br /> Page 5 of 29 _ <br />
