LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES August 9, 2011 6 <br />Update re:Library Service Consideration <br /> <br />Attorney Snyder updated the City Council on efforts to retain and enhance library <br />services for the Lake Elmo community. Snyder stated there does not appear to be any <br />issues with the City’s ability to take over a levy for library services. It is still uncertain <br />whether Washington County will provide certain services and work in a partnership with <br />the City. <br /> <br />Mayor Johnston and Council Member Pearson will attend the August 16th County Board <br />meeting where the Library Budget will be discussed. <br /> <br />This was only an informational update so there was no action taken on the follow-on <br />activities noted for Council consideration. <br /> <br />Consider Ordinance No 08-053 – Stop Sign at 47th St. N. and Kimbro Avenue N. <br /> <br />The City Council considered Ordinance 08-053 regarding the proposed modification <br />from a Yield Sign to a Stop Sign at the intersection of 47th Street N, and Kimbro Avenue <br />N. This item was scheduled at the request of the City Public Works Department and the <br />Washington County Sheriff’s Office. It has been requested that increased traffic and <br />speeds along 50th St. N, and 43rd Street N. and Kimbro have increased safety concerns for <br />the intersection of 47th St. N. and Kimbro Avenue N. An existing YIELD sign could be <br />replaced with a STOP sign to increase safety at this intersection. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to approve Ordinance No. 08-053, directing <br />replacement of an existing YIELD sign with a STOP sign at the intersection of 47th St. N. <br />and Kimbro Avenue N. and that such be added to the City’s official traffic control <br />inventory. Council Member Pearson seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-0. <br /> <br />The Council adjourned the meeting at 9:10 p.m. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted by Sharon Lumby, City Clerk <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2011-030 Master Joint Powers Agreement with Bureau of Criminal <br />Apprehension <br />Resolution No. 2011-031 Blue Star Award for Excellence in Community Storm Water <br />Management <br /> <br />Ordinance No. 08-051 Adopt Option D2, a modified commercial water rate structure for <br />Hotel/Motels <br />Ordinance No. 08-052 No Parking Signs at Carriage Station Park <br />Ordinance No. 08-053 Replace an existing Yield sign with a Stop sign at the intersection <br />of 47th St. N. and Kimbro Avenue N. <br />
