LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 2, 2009 2 <br /> <br />REGULAR AGENDA <br /> <br />Public Meeting: Annual Report for 2008 Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4s) <br />Systems Permit <br /> <br />Ryan Stempski, Assistant City Engineer, reported the City Council is being asked to <br />accept the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Annual Report for 2008, and <br />authorize staff to submit this report to the MPCA by June 30, 2009. <br /> <br />The City is required to conduct a public Meeting on the City’s Storm Water Pollution <br />Prevention Program (SWPPP) to encourage public discussion and participation regarding <br />its storm water quality and the steps that the City is taking to address the sis minimum <br />control measures. <br /> <br />There was no public comment. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Emmons moved to accept the Municipal Separate Storm <br />Sewer System (MS4) Annual Report for 2008 and authorize staff to submit this report to <br />the MPCA by June 30, 2009. Council Member Park seconded the motion. The motion <br />passed 5-0. <br /> <br />County Road 13 (Inwood Avenue)/15th Street N. Intersection Proposal; Resolution No. <br />2009-024 <br /> <br />Craig Dawson, Interim City Administrator, reported that on April 21, 2009 the City <br />Council adopted Resolution No. 2009-015, giving municipal consent to Washington <br />County’s proposal to add left-turn lanes on County Road 13 (Inwood Avenue) at its <br />intersection with 15th Street North. This approval was conditoned “upon the final project <br />providing for safe bicycle traffic through the intersection”. <br /> <br />Jacob Gave, a Washington County engineer related the County’s belief that the plan <br />adding left-turn lanes would improve cyclists’ safety. He said if they had to give the <br />roadway a wider shoulder or a dedicated bike path, it would push the project off of this <br />year’s schedule and require the County to find alternate funding. <br /> <br />Council Members Emmons and Smith agreed it would be best to proceed with the project <br />as planned, but asked Gave to take note of the fact that the City is interested in expanding <br />its trail network and to take that into account when planning future projects in the City. <br /> <br />MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to adopt Resolution No. 2009-024 amending <br />Resolution No. 2009-015 approving County Project within Municipal Corporate Limits. <br />Council Member Park seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-1 (Council Member <br />DeLapp voting against.) <br /> <br />
