LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 27, 2004 7 Fire Dept Study The Acting City Administrator reported the Fire Department Study is in the CIP so there are funds to pay for the study. He had decided not to go further because of the number of studies now under way. The Acting Administrator agreed to bring this item back to the Council in two months. Park and Ride on I-94 and Keats Avenue In October, the Acting Administrator reported that Metro Transit is proposing to construct a new $4 million park and ride lot for 500 vehicles at the intersection of Washington County Road 19 (Keats Avenue) and Interstate 94. The Council directed Dillerud to send a letter of objection from the City to Metro Transit. He reported that he did so, and did not hear anything else. He stated that the letter did not reach the committee reviewing reading the applications and that it was important that the decision making body be fully informed. M/S/P Johnston/DeLapp – to direct the Acting City Administrator to attend the next Transportation Advisory Board meeting to voice the City’s objections to the proposed park-and ride lot at the intersection of CSAH19 and I94; and to request Council member Dunn to call Washington County Commissioner Myra Peterson, who is a TAB member. (Motion passed 5-0). B. Resolution No. 2004-17 Endorsing Legislation Regarding CRT Recycling The Acting Administrator reported that the City received a request from the Washington County Board Chairman Stafford regarding legislation the County is asking the City to support that involves enhanced regulations on the recycling of CRT’s—TV’s and computer monitors. The Council indicated this was good legislation from an environmental perspective, and worthy of the City’s support. M/S/P DeLapp/Johnston – to adopt Resolution No. 2004-017, Supporting Legislation for the Recycling of CRT’s. (Motion passed 5-0.) 12. OLD BUSINESS: A. Follow-up Workshop B. Strategic Planning Workshop Mayor Hunt reported the City has been billed $3,200 out of the proposed $6,000 for workshops with Marilyn Condon. The City has the ability to have two more workshops within that total fee. The entire now- proposed workshop meeting would be 4 hours for $1,000, and is within the agreed $6,000. The resulting total Condon fee would be $4,200 rather than $6,000. He suggested that the first half hour of the workshop would be discussing how well the Council has been working with each other; and, the last 3.5 hours would be a strategic planning workshop with the intention of letting the Council get their issues out on the table, and come to grips as to what is important for the City. M/S/P Johnston/Siedow – to approve a 4-hour workshop with Marilyn Condon as described by Mayor Hunt with a $1,000 cap. (Motion passed 5 -0).
