Dear Mr. Boland and Members of the Council :
On Thursday , April 20 , 1978 , the Physical Development Committee
of the Metropolitan Council will review the Systems Statement
for the City of Orono and the proposed Orono-Long Lake
Interceptor. Both of these items have been reviewed at
lenyth by the City of Orono for the last several years and
after numerous discussions with the staffs of the Metropolitan
Council and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, the City
of Orono believes that it is in the position to recommend
approval of the Orono-Long Lake Interceptor and not to appeal
the most recent Systems Statement , which decision is predi-
cated upon the general guidelines as set forth in a resolution
adopted by the City Council of the City of Orono on April
17 , 1978 , a copy of which is included herein for your review.
This resolution sets forth the understanding between the City
of Orono and the staffs of the Metropolitan Council and the
Metropolitan Waste Control Commission and sets forth the repre-
sentations previously made upon which the City of Orono has
relied in its decision not to appeal the Systems Statement and
not to delay the construction of the Orono-Long Lake Intercep-
tor. The City of Orono would appreciate your reading the
enclosed resolution prior to the meeting next Thursday so that
you will be fully informed of the city ' s position and so that
there will be no misunderstandings in the future concerning
the agreements reached.

The resolution references a packet of documents (Exhibit C )
which are the underpinnings of the resolution; however,
because of the volume of the documents and because they are
not necessary for the understanding of the resolution, we
have not included copies of them but have provided copies
of them to the staff of the Metropolitan Council by separate
letter.
It is our understanding that a copy of this resolution and
exhibits attached thereto will be made a part of the official
record of the Metropolitan Council in regard to the Systems
Statement for the City of Orono and the Orono-L�ng Lake Inter-
ceptor.
At your meeting on Thursday, April 20 , 1978 , Mayor Van Nest of
the City of Orono will be present to review the contents of the
resolution with you and to answer any questions which you may
have.
On behalf of the City of Orono, we would like to thank you and
your staff for having worked with the City Council in the past
in regard to these two items and to thank you at this time
for your anticipated cooperation in the future .
Very truly yours-��
