LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JUNE 16, 2009 3 Speed Indicator Sign on CR13 (Ideal Avenue) – Status Report Craig Dawson, Interim City Administrator, reported a resident representing the Tri-Lakes Association asked whether a speed indicator sign could be placed on Ideal Avenue where the speed limit drops from 50 to 40 miles per hour (just north of Hidden Bay Trail N). Council requested staff report about what could be done at the June 16 Council meeting. Washington County staff plans on installing a battery-powered temporary feedback sign that would be placed on an existing pole over the next six months or so and determine whether a permanent indicator sign is appropriate. If a permanent driver feedback sign is the right alternative, Washington County would install the sign in 2010 or 2011, depending on available funding. The consensus of the Council on the proposed plan was very positive. Sign Ordinance, Ordinance No. 08-015, Resolution No. 2009-025 – POSTPONED until July 21, 2009 MPCA Watermain Extension Project for Municipal water to the Olson Property – Proposal to oversize to 12-inch trunk watermain pipe Ryan Stempski, Assistant City Engineer, reported the City Council was being asked to authorize the expenditure of approximately $10,000 to increase the watermain pipe size for the MPCA watermain extension project that is providing municipal water service to the Olson property located along Trunk Highway 5 (9524 Stillwater Boulevard) in response to high levels of PFBA contaminant found in the private well. The City would be responsible to own and maintain the watermain. The cost would be paid from the City Water Fund. The Joint Powers Agreement in which the City would commit to this expenditure will be on a future Council meeting agenda. MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to approve the oversizing of the MPCA watermain extension project to a 12-inch truck watermain pipe at an approximate project cost of $10,000 (project bid cost of $8,846), to be funded through the City Water Fund. Council Member Emmons seconded the motion. The motion passed 4-0. Resolution No. 2009-029 authorizing publication of Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance No 08-016 Jack Griffin, City Engineer, reported the City Council is being asked to approve a resolution authorizing the publication of the updated Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance. The adoption of the updated Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance fulfills a requirement of the City’s MS4 permit through the MPCA and fulfills a requirement of the City’s Storm Water Management Plan.
