LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 20, 2014 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br />Mayor Pearson noted that his neighborhood has neighborhood maintained open spaces and it serves as a decent model. <br />MOTION PASSED 5-0. <br />REGULAR AGENDA <br />ITEM 14: PUBLIC HEARING: 12TH STREET VACATION; RES. NO. 2014-33 <br />Community Development Director Klatt provided overview of the proposed street vacation. He noted that this request has been before the Council two previous times. Now that a satisfactory survey has been received <br />with needed information, staff is comfortable with the requested vacation. The City Engineer approved this <br />item, but requested that the ROW be wider. City Attorney Snyder cautioned that because the vacation is taking place adjacent to a waterway, the DNR will have to be notified. <br />Council Member Reeves asked how much of a threat building a structure on the existing infrastructure would pose. Mr. Klatt said that without a specific proposal, that is difficult to determine. The 15 foot ROW meets current needs, but is not ideal. The vacation does not make the situation worse. <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. Council Member Bloyer seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED 5-0. PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 9:05 PM. <br />No public input. <br />MOTION: Council Member Reeves moved TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. Council Member Bloyer seconded the motion. MOTION PASSED 5-0. PUBLIC HEARING Closed AT 9:06 PM. <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 2014-33, APPROVING A <br />REQUEST TO VACATE A PORTION OF THE 12TH STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY LOCATED WITHIN THE MYRON ELLMAN SUBDIVISION SUBJECT TO THE DNR NOTIFICATION. <br />Council Member Bloyer seconded the motion. <br />Council Member Smith commented that she is glad that this long time problem is finally being rectified. <br />MOTION PASSED 5-0. <br />ITEM 10: APPROVAL OF PARK EQUIPMENT PURCHASE: PICK-UP, TRAILER, AND UTILITY VEHICLE <br />Public Works Director Mike Bouthilet explained the request. The current park vehicles do not meet the <br />current needs. This purchase will also allow the City to groom our own ski trails instead of relying on the County to do it. This will include cost savings and improved service. The Park Commission approved this. <br />Mr. Bouthilet explained that the City can receive grant funds to recover up to 90% of the use cost. <br />Council Member Reeves asked about the funding. City Administrator Zuleger explained that the purchase will <br />be spread out across multiple funds. $25,285.20 – 30% out of Vehicle Fund, $16,856.95 – 20% out of <br />Stormwater Fund and $42,132.58 - 50% from Park Dedication Fund. <br />Mr. Bouthilet further explained the cost savings and the grant process. Initially there will be a cost savings, <br />but at some point, the threshold would be met where the savings are replaced by increased service at an overall increased cost. <br />It was clarified that all the equipment will be used for the parks and other areas and therefore split alike. <br />MOTION: Council Member Nelson moved TO PURCHASE A NEW 2014 TRAILER, 2015 FORD F250 PICKUP WITH PLOW, AND 2014 KUBOTA UTILITY VEHICLE WITH BALL FIELD AND X- <br />C SKI GROOMERS NOT TO EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF $84,284.76 PAID FOR 20% OUT OF <br />STORMWATER FUND, 30% OUT OF VEHICLE FUND, AND 50% OF PARK FUNDS. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. <br />Mayor Pearson commented that he hopes this expenditure and the improved trails will increase the use of <br />Sunfish Lake Park. <br />MOTION PASSED 5-0. <br />ITEM 11: APPROVAL OF AERIAL FIRE TRUCK PURCHASE
