JOINT COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 16, 1994 WITH THE CITY OF HUGO the entire proposal impacts Hugo. Mr. Dresel noted that the City of Hugo already has a water tower in the Clearwater Creek basin vicinity. He suggested that Lino Lakes look at this facility for short term use since there may be capacity. Mr. LaValle felt that Lino Lakes should consider a major sewer interceptor for this area because he felt that the current force main interceptor could not service the entire area. Mr. Dresel said that he would contact the old Metropolitan Waste Control Commission to determine what data they have on the Forest Lake interceptor. Mr. Powell felt the current interceptor would handle the needs of the first and second phase of the proposed subdivision. Future needs will have to be studied. Mayor Reinert felt it would be appropriate for both the City of Lino Lakes and the City of Hugo to meet with the Metropolitan Council staff on this matter. Future street improvement plans were discussed. Mr. Dresel used the overhead projector and explained that the City of Hugo's transportation plan includes a proposal to eventually connect Elmcrest (24th Avenue) to Highway 61 by extending Washington County Road 8A (140th Street) west. The Hugo transportation plan also includes provisions to improve Frenchman Road (County Road 14 in Lino Lakes) from Highway 61 west to the Lino Lakes/Hugo border, Cedar Street from the connection with 140th Street west to Elmcrest and Elmcrest (24th Avenue) north to Frenchman Road. There was discussion regarding Otter Lake Road and its ability to support the traffic generated by proposed subdivision in Lino Lakes. Ms. Barnes suggested that Lino Lakes and Hugo plan street extensions and improvements cooperatively. She noted that some of the streets discussed may have to be upgraded to collector status in Lino Lakes. Mr. LeRoux noted that oil is being used for dust control on Elmcrest Avenue. This situation creates pot holes. He also noted that the access to Bald Eagle Lake in the City of Hugo has been closed due to safety concerns. He asked if another access site in Lino Lakes could be constructed. This matter will be investigated. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Winters, 7703 - 24th Avenue, Lino Lakes said that they did appreciate the dust control provide by the City. Mr. Miron explained that the meeting this evening has raised more questions and suggested that a meeting set for January or February, 1995 after the Clearwater Creek drainage study is completed and a more complete discussion could be held. He expressed appreciation for being offered the opportunity to work with the City of Lino Lakes on matters of mutual interest. Mr. Schumacher said that he and Mr. Museus will continue to work PAGE 5
