LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 3, 2009 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Council Member DeLapp presented an alternate proposal and a set of maps showing <br />different roads in the City and their type of use. He believed the City should pay for a <br />base standard for roadways, typically a 22-foot street designed to carry nine tons <br />regardless of when and where the streets are built. If the residents in a project area <br />determine they wish to have more in their neighborhood streets such as curb and gutter, <br />wider streets or bike paths, then the neighborhood should be assessed for those additions. <br /> <br />Council Member Smith suggested the council assess affected properties for 30 percent of <br />those projects scheduled for 2009, and take a more in-depth look at alternate assessment <br />schemes in the near future. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to set the special assessments to be used for <br />2009 street projects at a maximum of 30 percent of project cost per the City Engineer’s <br />proposal and address in-depth the City’s public improvement and assessment policy in <br />the near future. Council Member Park seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. <br /> <br />Selection Process for City Attorney <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator Dawson asked the Council how it will proceed with the next <br />steps of the city attorney selection process.

The Council will interview <br />representatives from Campbell Knutson; Eckberg, Lammers, Briggs, Wolff & Vierling; <br />Hoff Barry & Kozar; Kelly & Lemmons; and Kennedy & Graven. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to interview five law firms stated that <br />expressed interest in representing the City in civil legal matters on March 18 and 19th, <br />starting at 5 p.m. Council Member Park seconded the motion.
