MINUTES OF THE ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING Monday, March 9, 2015 7:00 o’clock p.m. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Page 37 of 43 (14. BALDUR PARK ENGINEERING SERVICES, continued) McMillan stated Orono is pretty good at having natural speed bumps all through the City and that the City does periodically receive requests for speed bumps due to speed concerns. McMillan stated the City had speed bumps installed in one area on Crystal Bay Road and that the residents had issues with them due to the noise and vibration. McMillan stated she personally finds it hard to drive fast on Baldur Park Road but that other people might not feel the same way. McMillan stated keeping the road narrow will help. Printup moved, Walsh seconded, to direct Bolton & Menk, Inc., to commence survey testing and design for the Baldur Park Road reconstruction project. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 15. NAVARRE STREET LIGHT AND SIDEWALK PROJECT – PAY REQUEST NO. 5 Edwards stated before the Council tonight is Pay Request No. 5 for the Navarre streetlight and sidewalk project. Edwards stated the Navarre streetlight and sidewalk project is almost complete with the exception of some punch list items that will be completed in the spring. Walsh stated he wants to make sure enough money is retained to cover the punch list items. Edwards stated there is, and that the few punch list items include some minor sidewalk corrections, removal of some banner hangers on a light pole and a couple of other small items. Walsh asked how much those items would amount to. Edwards stated it probably amounts to $5,000 to $6,000 and that the City will be retaining $11,000. Walsh moved, Cornick seconded, to approve Pay Request No. 5 for the contractor MP Technologies in the amount of $17,040.29 for the Navarre Street Light and Sidewalk Project.

VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. 17. CYGNET AND CHEVY CHASE PARK STATUS Printup stated he does not necessarily have a problem with changing the status on these two areas, but that in the Comprehensive Plan it is labeled as undesignated open space. Printup stated the only concern he had was whether there is the potential for future development if the City changes the designation of a park. Printup noted he is speaking generally and not necessarily for these two parks. Walsh stated it comes down to what are the consequences of doing this going into the future.
