PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL: <br />Captain Johnson, Washington County Sheriff's Dept, reported the Sheriff's department has someone in <br />jail that has been burglarizing homes in the surrounding communities.

Minnegasco Gas Franchise Request <br />Arnie Hendrickson, Reliant Energy Minnegasco, requested a franchise to provide natural gas service in <br />Lake Elmo, specifically along the frontage road north of I-94. It is because of the close proximity of <br />their distribution system on the frontage road from County 19 to Inwood that they are requesting a gas <br />franchise to offer gas service to the new commercial developments along that frontage. <br />Development is a ways off in that area and the Council doesn't see a need for granting another <br />franchise at the present time. If development does occur in the area, the council invited Minnegasco to <br />come before the Council then <br />M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to decline Minnegasco's request for a franchise agreement in the City. <br />(Motion passed 5-0.) <br />B. Request for meeting on Public Facilities ordinance. <br />On behalf of the local worship centers, Jeff Roos, MFRA, requested a meeting with the Planning <br />Commission and Council to discuss the pending PF ordinance. <br />LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 15, 2000 2 <br />
