Oakdale appealed to 3M for a donation of land and 3M said they would donate land <br />owned in Lake Elmo. They want to retain ownership of approximately 3 acres of this 26 acre parcel for <br />potential water purification infrastructure. The City wants to retain 50% ownership and control of this <br />park. The City Council asked for Parks to make a recommendation whether the City should pursue a <br />Joint Powers Agreement with Oakdale for this park. In the event the conversations move forward, <br />representatives from Lake Elmo would be appointed to a board that will then determine the <br />organizational structure for that park and a design concept. <br />Superintendent Bouthilet reminded the Commission that Lake Elmo still envisions a community <br />playfield eventually in the Old Village and that this park would be used for overflow. <br />M/S/P, Steele/Wagner, To endorse the engagement of discussions for the Oakdale/Lake Elmo park <br />concept and to move forward with the process to include three elements: the appointment of <br />representatives leading to the design of the organizational structure and the development of an <br />agreement to be brought back to the City for review.
