C. Request for Joint Meeting with Oak Park Heights <br />The City Administrator will contact Oak Park Heights to setup a joint meeting between City Councils of <br />Lake Elmo City and Oak Park Heights after she gets back from vacation on July 27a. The Council <br />requested that the issues be stated on the meeting agenda and for the Administrator to put the background <br />together on these issues. <br />D. Response to June 21, 2000 letter from Washington County Public Works <br />The Council received a copy of the letter from Don Wisniewski, Washington County Engineer, in response <br />to the City's position on the CSAH10 & CSAH13 Signal Project. <br />Administrator Kueffner stated that unless we have data to support our position, it might be in our best <br />interest to approve the plans. By approving plans and specs, Lake Elmo is not agreeing to pay any portion <br />of the maintenance costs of this light. The County cannot have the signal project unless our city engineer <br />signs off on the plans and specs. <br />Councilmember Armstrong thought we should stop fighting the signal light because this is a problem <br />intersection and dangerous. Councilmembers Dunn and DeLapp commented that the warrants were over a <br />31/2 year time frame, which the County did not explain. They do not want to put in one of Lake Elmo tax <br />dollars to maintain the light because the City of Lake Elmo did not drive this signal light. Dunn was not <br />against what the County is doing, but the County's road design caused the need for the signal light and so <br />Washington County must assume complete responsibility for the lights. <br />M/S/F Siedow/Armstrong - to direct the City Engineer to sign off on plans and specs for the CSAH10 & <br />CSAH13 Signal Project, but not to agree with maintenance cost participation. (Motion failed 2-3 Hunt, <br />Dunn, DeLapp.) <br />M/S/P DeLapp/Armstrong — to notify Washington County that we still disagree with a signal project at <br />CSAH10 & CSAH13, but to look into design parameters for speed, combined with road configuration, and <br />the City is trying to determine if it should do its own investigations and alternatives. (Motion passed 4- <br />1:Siedow:This intersection needs a signal light). <br />The Council adjourn the meeting at 11:00 p.m. <br />Submitted by Sharon Landry, Deputy Clerk <br />Resolution No. 2000-024 Approving the July 18, 2000 Claims <br />Resolution No. 2000-025 Accepting the Feasibility Report for 50a' Street Improvement <br />Resolution No. 2000-026 Vacating that part of 25"' Street an Lisbon Avenue <br />Resolution No. 2000-027 Amending the 2000 Fee Schedule <br />Resolution No. 2000-028 Establishing a Tax Abatement Program <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 18, 2000 8 <br />
