1. Spring Park—Orono Standby Agreement
City Administrator Tolsma discussed the agreement for on-call/emergency back-up service for
utilities with the City of Orono. He stated that the proposed agreement is just putting a longstanding
handshake agreement on paper; there was a previous draft agreement, but neither Spring Park nor
Orono Gould locate a signed copy. The agreement before the Council is based on the earlier draft
with minor modifications. It has been reviewed by City Attorney Beck as well as the Orono City
Administrator and City Attorney. The agreement is not for the full scope of Public Works, it is only
for water and sewer service.
Mayor Williamson questioned the timeline for this item since it needs to be forwarded to the Orono
City Council for their approval.
City Administrator Tolsma responded that the Orono City Council meets next week but that if any
changes were made to the proposed agreement then it would be brought back to the Spring Park
City Council.
