MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, September 22, 2014 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________________ <br />  <br />  Page 17 of 18  <br />CITY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT <br /> <br />Loftus reported the foundation walls for the police garage project will be installed this week and work on <br />the HVAC improvements has been started. The first phase of the parking lot should be finished by <br />October 1 and the second phase will be completed by October 16. In addition, the concrete on the plaza <br />will be replaced. <br /> <br />Loftus noted the contractor did run into some bad soils, which ate up a good portion of the contingency, <br />and that they have had to truck in a fair amount of sand. <br /> <br />Loftus stated Staff and Police Chief Farniok have been working quite a bit with FEMA on the condition <br />of the roads in an attempt to recoup some of the costs associated with the flooding. Staff will be having <br />an in-person site visit with FEMA in the near future and that efforts are underway to recoup some of the <br />costs associated with the work done on Starkey Road, Olive Avenue, and perhaps Baldur Park Road. <br /> <br />Loftus noted the City Council had a chance to discuss this at the work session, but that Orono’s 125th <br />Anniversary is scheduled for October 18 from 1:00 to 3:00 at the Pioneer Museum. Loftus noted the <br />information has been placed on the City’s website. <br /> <br /> <br />*11.
