Resolution No. 2004-014: Approving Claims <br /> <br />M/S/P Dunn/Siedow – to adopt Resolution No. 2004-014, Approving Claim Numbers <br />187, 188, DD104 through DD112, 25132 through 25164, that were used for Fire/Staff payroll dated February 5, 2004, and Claim Numbers 25165 through 25208 dated <br />February 17, 2004 in the total amount of $279,861.13. (Motion passed 5-0.) <br /> <br />The Acting City Administrator reported that there was no budget report presented <br />because data will not be accurate until the City closes last years books.

MLCCS Mapping Grant Washington County Conservation District <br /> <br />Jeff Berg, Washington County Conservation District, informed the Council that the <br />District (and other metro SWCDs) is applying for a LCMR grant to conduct land cover mapping within incomplete areas of Washington County. Berg presented a fact sheet on <br />the advantages and noted that the rule of thumb is $1/acre to do this mapping. Using a <br />50-50 LCMR-Local match, the dollar amount of Lake Elmo would be approximately <br />$7,500. <br /> The Planner reported that the 2004 City Operating Budget does provide $10,000 for <br />undesignated “Comprehensive Planning”. The Planner indicated that with many of the <br />current planning projects completed, or nearing completion, the City could fund the local <br />share of this LCMR grant from that budget line item, particularly, if the local share could <br />be stretched over two budget years. <br />M/S/P Dunn/Siedow – to direct the Acting Administrator to draft a letter of endorsement <br />for the application by the Washington County Conservation District to the LCMR for <br />MLCCS Mapping of the City. (Motion passed 5-0). <br /> M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp – to show the Councils sincerity, direct staff to check budget for <br />$15,000- $22,000 for total City payment of the MLCCS Mapping. (Motion passed 5-0).
