. MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br /> Monday,January 26,2015 <br /> 7:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> (8. BIJLK FiTEL CONTRACT continue� <br /> Levang stated by only contracting for 75 percent of the City's fuel needs,there is some cushion there, and <br /> that the savings last year were significant. <br /> Edwards stated the City does not want to enter into more than what they might use because they would <br /> need to pay for any overage. <br /> Cornick asked if there is any advantage to negotiating a contract that would include Mound vehicles or <br /> Spring Park vehicles. <br /> Edwards stated to his understanding no other city contracts with Orono on this bulk fuel contract. <br /> Edwards indicated there are a number of municipalities that enter into group agreements with the state but <br /> that the state's rate is approximately$2.60 a gallon. <br /> Cornick asked if there is money that could be saved if Orono would join with Long Lake in negotiating <br /> this contract. <br /> Edwards stated he has not explored that but to his knowledge they would not. Edwards stated Orono is <br /> entering into a contract with the same contractor that provides the state's fuel. <br /> Loftus stated the Long Lake Fire Department has asked about partnering with the City on its fuel <br /> purchases but that Orono is limited on the size of its tanks. Loftus stated it did not make financial sense <br /> to purchase bigger tanks to accommodate their request in the past. <br /> McMillan stated the positive is the City knows what their fuel budget is for the year,which was always <br /> something that was a big variable. <br /> Edwards noted the City would have lost money if they had gone in with the state contract. <br /> Levang moved,Cornick seconded,to authorize Public Works Director Adam Edwards to enter into <br /> a contract on behalf of the City of Orono at the prices and quantities listed in Paragraph 7 of Staff's <br /> Memorandum dated January 26,2015.
