LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES JUNE 17, 2008 2 The City Council appointed Mike Pearson, 2805 Lisbon Avenue North to the Second Alternate position on the Planning Commission. Mr. Bidon’s application will be kept on file. Authorize hiring Design Forum to prepare conceptual schematic designs of park shelters Carol Krieger, Project Assistant, asked the City Council to authorize the hiring of Jerry Mazzara of Design Forum to do some conceptual schematic designs of park shelters. The fee for these initial concepts will be $1,200.00. The purpose of this request was generated by the Park Commission’s opportunity to receive a $7,000 grant from Lowes for materials to build a park shelter as well as the Commission’s interest in developing some park design symbols that provide the consistency and design elements reflective of Lake Elmo. If approved, the park fund will cover the costs of this out of its capital fund balance. Council Member DeLapp voiced his concern that the plan for a park shelter would mushroom to a much larger project with a cost of $40,000. MOTION: Mayor Johnston moved to authorize the hiring of Design Forum Architect Jerry Mazzara to do conceptual schematic designs of park shelters with patterns and themes for consideration in future architectural park elements for up to $1,200 from the Park Dedication fund. Council member Park seconded the motion. Mayor Johnston and Council Members Park and Smith voted in favor of the motion and Council Member DeLapp voted against the motion. Receive comments from the park commission on the possible lift station locations in Reid Park for the I-94 to 30th Street Infrastructure Project and select a preferred lift station site. City Engineer Jack Griffin asked the City Council to select a preferred lift station location for the project, among three sites which would allow the design work on the project to be finalized. The Council received the park commission’s comments on the possible lift station locations and the commission’s comments preferring the location to be outside of Reid Park and at Site No. 3. Site No. 3 is a city-owned parcel adjacent to the southeast corner of Reid Park. Council Member DeLapp thought the owner of the townhouses should be part of this process from the beginning of the lift station location discussion because site 3 requires an easement over this property. MOTION: Mayor Johnston moved to select Site No. 3 for the location of the I-94 to 30th Street Infrastructure Project Lift station. Council Member Park seconded the motion. Mayor Johnston and Council Members Park and Smith voted in favor of the motion and Council Member DeLapp voted against the motion.
