MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING <br />Monday, November 26, 2007 <br />7:00 o’clock p.m. <br />___________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />PAGE 27 of 32 <br />(MCES Interceptor, Continued) <br /> <br />that it would be. Johnson questioned whether the easement has ever been released, and if it has not been <br />released, he would request that it be taken care of. <br /> <br />In addition, another impact of the resolution would be how the City’s interest in that line impacts <br />decisions that will be made in the future regarding access, and that Morrie’s would like to be involved in <br />the discussions regarding future access if a road in that area is ever constructed. <br /> <br />Moorse stated to his knowledge the City has completed the release of the easement. In terms of whether <br />the City could construct a road over the easement, the metering station is a metro metering station, <br />which would need to be relocated prior to construction of a road. In addition, the City would only ask <br />that it become a metro interceptor at Industrial Boulevard, which is what is reflected in the resolution. <br /> <br />Murphy asked why it is in the City’s best interests to have that happen. <br /> <br />Moorse stated at the present time the joint sewer line is a Long Lake line that runs down Industrial <br />Boulevard and Willow, then connects into an interceptor. Because it is a Long Lake sewer line that both <br />Orono and Medina utilize, the three cities share the costs of maintenance. If the interceptor becomes a <br />metro interceptor, the Metropolitan Council would assume the costs of maintenance. <br /> <br />White stated the sewer line would not be relocated at any time in the near future. <br /> <br />Kellogg noted the City has recently replaced the north/south line from Trunk Highway 12 to the <br />southwest corner of the golf dome, which is approximately eight to ten feet deep. From that point it <br />turns east to the metering station and is a fairly new line, which would not need to be replaced for some <br />time. <br /> <br />Moorse stated the issue is, if there was to be a road constructed behind the golf dome, could that line <br />remain as is. <br /> <br />Murphy stated the issues raised by Mr. Johnson should be addressed by the City. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 12/10/07 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 11/26/07 [Page 27 of 32]
