To: James Van Eyll Mark Warden Council <br />Exhibit A <br />Reply -To: Kelly Shaughnessy <br />To City of Orono <br />The Long Lake Fire Department is here by requesting that the Orono City Council change the name of the road on <br />the south side of Station 1 that serves as the entrance to our back parking lot from Fire Station Dr to Rettinger Dr. <br />This name change is to recognize the Rettinger family and their contributions to the Long Lake Fire Department and <br />the community at large. The Long Lake Fire Department was founded in 1915 and our first Chief was Sam Rettinger, <br />his sons John Melvin and Hawthorne are also retired members of our department along with their sons Sam and <br />George. Mark Warden is a current fire fighter is a great grandson of Sam. Other Rettingers that have served as <br />members are Tom and Joe. The Rettinger family has been long time supporters of our community and have in the <br />past and continue to run a number of businesses in the area. Some past and present businesses are Rettinger <br />Livery, Rettinger Ford , Rettinge Dry Goods, Rettinger Bus Company, Rettinger Oil, Rettinger Union 76, Rettinger <br />Funeral Home and Elite Auto. <br />Our relief association is willing to pay for the cost of the sign and will take care of its placement under the careful eye <br />of D. J. Goman There currently is no sign or post designating Fire Station Dr. We are hoping to dedicate this on <br />October 1 st as part of our Block Party that we are putting on with the Long lake Chamber of commerce. This change <br />results in NO Address changes. Thank You for consideration <br />
