LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MAY 3, 2011 2 <br />REGULAR AGENDA: <br /> <br />Update from Washington County Re: Library Service Consideration <br /> <br />There was discussion on the possible closure of the Lake Elmo Branch Library and <br />having an independent library. <br /> <br />The Mayor wanted the library immediately removed as part of the Washington County <br />system where Council Member Pearson believed the City should stay out of the library <br />business and not cut ties with the county in fear that any future relationships with the <br />library system would be damaged. Mayor Johnston noted in his opinion if the county <br />closed the library there is little chance it will be reopened if started as a new library when <br />Lake Elmo achieves its future growth. <br /> <br />Council Member Park, Emmons and Smith wanted a more detailed plan from City staff <br />as to how such a City operated library would function. Council Smith added that the City <br />did not have enough time before June 30th to come up with a plan to run the library <br />separate from the county. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Emmons moved to direct staff, (comprised of Administrator <br />Messelt, Council Member Emmons, Attorney Snyder) to come back to the May 17th <br />meeting with various options including fiscal ramifications, timeline and general <br />feasibility of operating the library. Mayor Johnston seconded the motion. The motion <br />passed 3-2 (Council Members Pearson and Smith voting against). <br /> <br />Fence Code Issue: <br /> <br />Council Member Smith received an inquiry from a Carriage Station resident at 12418 <br />Marquess Way about a possible oversight in the fence code. The resident’s concern is for <br />safety of his family because the front of his house faces a street and his rear yard abuts <br />commercial property. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to request the Planning Commission <br />specifically address the fence code regarding double frontage lots and lots abutting <br />commercial property. Council Member Park seconded the motion. The motion passed 5- <br />0. <br /> <br />Authorize Contract for Cleaning Services <br /> <br />The City is seeking weekly cleaning services and specific monthly or quarterly cleaning <br />services for the City Council chambers, City Hall entrance, lobby restrooms, offices and <br />support areas. The City received three bids for cleaning services for City Hall and the <br />City Hall Annex. All were deemed as responsible bids, though some specific <br />requirements remain to be verified for some of the bidders (bonding and insured). <br />
