CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION JUNE 9, 2004 APPROVED • 1 2 Councilmember Carlson requested a copy of the percentage rating for the City. 3 4 City Engineer Studenski recapped that another letter would be sent out, indicating the 5 deadline / timeframe and staff would come back to the Council with a follow-up on 6 responses received. They would come back with a percentage, and hold up on 7 enforcement action on the four properties until it comes back to Council. 8 9 Councilmember Stoltz commented that after the survey, if more than 50 percent, there 10 was usually a feasibility study — if less than 50 percent, then not, which was somewhat 11 arbitrary. Councilmember Reinert noted there was sometimes a fall-off in participation, 12 which should be factored in. 13 14 LAMOTTE DRIVE WATER MAIN EXTENSION (CITY OF CENTERVILLE), 15 MICHAEL GROCHALA 16 17 Community Development Director Grochala explained that the City of Centerville was 18 reconstructing LaMotte Drive right up to the city limits of Lino Lakes, and this would 19 result in extension of water main service within Centerville. This would provide an 20 opportunity for the City of Lino Lakes to request that the City of Centerville consider 21 extending the water main approximately 80 feet further (to the city limits), and Staff was 22 recommending this. The cost would be approximately $9,000, to come from the City's • 23 Trunk Utility Area and Unit fund. This would allow for future water service to Lino 24 Lakes developments and avoid the need to reconstruct a new street within Centerville. 25 26 A Joint Powers agreement with the City of Centerville would be necessary to accomplish 27 this. 28 29 The Council concurred that this seemed to make sense and to proceed with developing 30 the joint powers agreement. 31 32 REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 33 34 Police Chief Dave Pecchia updated the Council on the status of the compliance checks 35 which were scheduled for a violations hearing prior to the regular Council meeting on 36 June 14, 2004.
