. , REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, AU�UST 25, 1980 Page 10 2 . Not to commit the City of Orono to em lo in additional personnel which will eventuall g SKI INSTRUCTION add to the already strained tax su ortedys stem. PROGRAM PP Y (Continued) The City of Orono is utilizing the present golf course to its maximum potential, providing a satisfactory golf course for resident recreation in the summer and winter recreation, consisting of family tobogganing, without adding to the cost already budgeted for its annual operation and without creating a central recreation area that is not consistent with the neighborhood park concept. In light of loss of revenues and cutbacks in projected state aids, I do not feel it is in the best interest of the City of Orono to initiate a program that requires additional tax monies for its support.

The total costs estimated to construct 4 " wells at these two locations is approximately $10 , 000 . Several years ago, some residents at Hackberry requested City water. They might want to be included in the future water project for the Industrial area on Highway #12 if that should materialize . At this time , I recommend advertising for bids for a 4 " well at the Bederwood Park for an estimated cost of $5 , 000 . Monies would be allocated from the Park Dedication Fund. (Continued)
