LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 27, 2004 2 1. AGENDA ADD: Park and Ride Lot on Keats Avenue, Donation from Oakdale Gun Club M/S/P Siedow/Johnston - to approve the February 17, 2004 City Council agenda, as amended. (Motion passed 5-0). 2. MINUTES: February 4, 2004 M/S/P Johnston/Siedow - to approve the February 4, 2004 City Council minutes, as presented. (Motion passed 5-0). 3. PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL: A. Study Presentation – Old Village Constructed Wetland Wastewater Feasibility Scott Wallace, North American Wetland Engineering, gave a presentation on the Old Village Wastewater Treatment Feasibility Study. Wallace said he based his work on the Thorbeck study, but also did soil investigations on the parcels in the Old Village Plan. The soils are the limiting factor. The Planner suggested that because the study was lengthy and detailed, it will require review before specific project recommendations and staging can be addressed. He reported that he had provided the City Engineer with a copy of the study so he could investigate if his plan for stormwater would not conflict with the integrated wastewater plan. Mayor Hunt stated this will overlay our planning and the next step would address how the City stages something like this. He also said the City would investigate what money is out there and look into using wastewater treatment areas as amenities. He concluded that he did not believe that anybody on this Council will force someone with a functioning private septic system to hook up to any new City system. M/S/P DeLapp/Johnston – to receive the Feasibility Study for Old Village Wastewater Treatment and to direct the Staff and City Engineer to review the Study, and bring forth specific recommendations to the Council regarding implementation and staging of the Study elements. (Motion passed 5-0.) B. Donation from Oakdale Gun Club The Council received a donation of a $1,000 from the Oakdale Gun Club to offset the legal costs incurred in our legal fight against the Met Council. Mayor Hunt will write a thank you letter for the Council to sign at the March 1st meeting. M/S/P Dunn/Johnston – to accept the generous donation of $1,000 from the Oakdale Gun Club, 10386 10th St. N., to offset the legal costs incurred in the City’s litigation with the Met Council. (Motion passed 5-0.)
