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