REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: July 25, 2016 <br /> <br />ITEM NO: 10 <br /> <br />Department Approval: Administrator Reviewed: Agenda Section: <br />Name Jessica Loftus JML City Administrator Report <br />Title City Administrator <br /> <br />Item Description: Spring Park Agreement for Standby Service <br /> <br />For the past twenty (20) years or more the City of Orono has provided the City of Spring Park <br />with public works standby coverage for their water and sewer system every other weekend and <br />during employee absences. To the best our knowledge this informal arrangement has never been <br />officially documented with a written agreement. While the current arrangement has been <br />working well, staff from both Cities met recently and agreed that we should establish a more <br />thorough written agreement with the approval of both city councils. <br /> <br />Additionally, the City of Spring Park has asked for a clause in the agreement that would allow <br />the City of Orono to provide for an expanded scope of standby assistance to the City of Spring <br />Park for up to 90 days during times of transition, such as they’re experiencing now while <br />replacing their Public Works Director. <br /> <br />Spring Park has expressed their appreciation for the assistance, responsiveness and the strong <br />relationship the cities continue to have with each other. The City Attorney has reviewed this <br />agreement and staff supports this agreement with our neighboring city. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Consider a motion to approve the attached Agreement for Standby Service.
