LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 6, 2008 3 • Trunk Highway 36 and Manning Avenue (CSAH 15) Project • Trunk Highway 36 and Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) Design Review Committee • Keats Avenue (CSAH 19) Landscaping Project • Inwood Avenue North (CSAH 13) Project Consider a preferred location for a sanitary sewer lift station in the vicinity of Reid Park for the I94 to 30th Street Infrastructure Project City Engineer Jack Griffin presented the Council with potential sites for a lift station, two of which are in Reid Park and one site is east of Reid Park. The site layout options show the chemical odor control dosing tank, back up power on-site generator, facility layout, routing options for 3-phase power to the site and a landscape screening plan. Griffin noted the plan is consistent with the City’s 2005 comprehensive plan which calls for sewer service in the Old Village and south of 10th Street. Mayor Johnston favored site alternative no. 3 because it was a City owned parcel adjacent to the southeast corner of Reid Park. All council members agreed that the Park Commission should be consulted about the Commission’s perception of how the proposed sites might impact Reid Park. Council Member DeLapp spoke against the motion because he wanted the Park Commission to comment on the possible impacts of all three sites, both inside and outside of the park on the use of Reid Park. MOTION: Council Member Johnson moved to refer this item to the Park Commission to review Site Alternative No. 1 (southwest corner of Reid Park; access from 30th Street) and Site Alternative No. 2 (southeast corner of Reid Park; access from 30th Street) as the project relates to Reid Park. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. Mayor Johnston and Council Members Johnson, Park and Smith voted in favor of the motion and Council Member DeLapp voted against the motion. MOTION: Council Member Smith moved to request TKDA evaluate underground utilities for the lift station project. Council Member DeLapp seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. MOTION: Council Member Johnson moved to amend the TKDA contract for engineering services for the final design and specifications of the I-94 to 30th Street Sewer Project from $250,000 to $206,600 for a reduction of $46,600 because of reducing the scope of work. Council Member Smith seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
