Consider a request for an extension of the submission of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan update to the Metropolitan Council; Resolution No. 2008-045 City Planner Klatt updated the Council on the status of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan and a request for an extension of time for submitting the required plan elements to complete the 2030 plan to the Metropolitan Council prior to November 1, 2008. He proposed a timeline for the three required plan elements, water, surface water and transportation, that must be included as part of the City’s submission. City Administrator Hoyt reviewed the reasons for requesting an extension. Council Member DeLapp suggested that the City minimize its costs and time and avoid additional studies and turn the current Comprehensive Plan into the Metropolitan Council to determine if it was satisfactory in its current form or might require only a few revisions. MOTION: Council Member Johnson moved to approve Resolution No. 2008-045 requesting an extension for a Comprehensive Plan update from the Metropolitan Council until December 2010. Council Member Park seconded the motion. The motion passed with Mayor Johnston and Council Members Johnson, Park and Smith voting in favor of the motion and Council Member DeLapp voting against. REPORTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: Council Member Park stated she would like to participate in I-94 Corridor meetings when the opportunity arose. All City Council Members thanked Lake Elmo business owners and volunteers for a successful Fall Festival. Mayor Johnston announced that he was participating in a Metropolitan Council Retreat panel with three other mayors on, “How to Work Better with Cities.” Administrator Hoyt informed Council the quarterly financial report was completed and would be distributed to the City Council and candidates.
