LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL JUNE 15, 2010 2 REGULAR AGENDA: Huff’n Puff Proclamation: Mayor Johnston proclaimed August 12th to 15th, 2010 as the official City celebration for 2010 and urged all citizens of our community to give full regard to the past continuing services for the Lake Elmo Jaycees. Presentation and Acceptance of the 2009 Audit and Financial Report Steve McDonald, Abdo, Eick & Meyer, provided the 2009 Year End Financial Report and answered City Council questions. MOTION: Council Member DeLapp moved to accept the 2009 Year End Financial Report. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-0. Rosalie Wahl Library - Resolution Mayor Johnston asked that this item be added to the Council agenda in order to allow the City Council to act upon concern regarding Washington County Library operation of the Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library in Lake Elmo. The City staff has met with Washington County and Washington County Library officials in February and April, 2010 to review the decision of rejecting consideration of shifting library hours at the library from Monday to Saturday. The Washington County Library Board has given strong indication through its Administration that the library is likely to suffer additional service cutbacks and/or closure due to current budgetary and service consideration. Council Member Smith noted that the City of Lake Elmo’s preference is to not sever its relationship with the Washington County Library System, nor to box them in a corner. However, the City of Lake Elmo wants to reasonably address ways to retain library services as it pursues its vision for both the current and future downtown. MOTION: Mayor Johnston moved to adopt Resolution No. 2010-030, A resolution calling for preservation and enhancement of library services within the city and community of Lake Elmo. Council Member DeLapp seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-0. Municipal State Aid Revision – Resolution Nos. 2010-028, 2010-029 Jack Griffin, City Engineer requested the Council consider system revisions to the City’s Municipal State Aid System (MSAS). The proposed changes, shown on page 3 of the City Engineer’s report, have been reviewed with the staff of the Mn/DOT State Aid office.
