MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, January 12, 2015 <br />7:00 o'clock p.m. <br />(BIG ISLAND REPORT — GABRIEL JABBOUR, CUSTODIAN continued) <br />Jabbour stated another positive aspect is that some of the people who actually attempted to stop the <br />purchase of the Big Island Park are now supporters of the park and also volunteer their time to help <br />maintain the park. <br />Walsh stated he appreciates all the time that Gabriel Jabbour has put into maintaining and improving <br />Big Island. <br />PUBLIC HEARING — GREEN TREES ROAD SANITARY SEWER EXTENSION — <br />ASSESSMENT HEARING — RESOLUTION NO. 6480 <br />Edwards stated the purpose of this meeting tonight is to review the assessment for the sanitary sewer main <br />and service stubs. Edwards noted a petition was submitted to the City Council in 2013 requesting the <br />work, which then prompted the creation of a feasibility study by Bolton & Menk. The total cost of the <br />project was $100,587.50, which equates to $16,764.58 per unit. <br />Assessment agreements were prepared and five of the six property owners have signed the agreements <br />and returned them to the City. The only agreement that has not been signed and returned is for 1485 <br />Green Trees Road. Edwards stated three attempts have been made to contact that property owner, which <br />have been unsuccessful. The proposed assessments are for a 10 -year term and with an interest rate of 4.5 <br />percent. The assessment will start in 2016. <br />Mayor McMillan opened the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. <br />There were no public comments regarding this application. <br />Mayor McMillan closed the public hearing at 7:27 p.m. <br />Mattick noted the residents did approach the City requesting this work and that the one property who has <br />not signed the agreement also signed that petition. Mattick noted the original estimate for the work came <br />in at approximately $20,000 and that the final assessment will be around $16,000. <br />Walsh stated the bottom line is, even if the agreement is not signed, the property owner will be assessed. <br />Mattick indicated that is correct. <br />Levang moved, Printup seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 6480, a Resolution Declaring Cost <br />to be Assessed and Ordering Preparation of Proposed Assessment for the Green Trees Road <br />Sanitary Sewer Extension Project.
