M/S/P Dunn/Siedow — to advise the City staff that it is the City's official position that it is not interested in participating in the forum suggested by the Metropolitan Council staff. (Motion passed 5-0.) 10. CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT: The city attorney submitted his review on the Lake Elmo Banquet Hall in letter dated April 16, 2002. He indicated that he talked to Jon Place's attorney, who said his client would be willing to sit down and work with the City to resolve the problems. A meeting will be set up with Jon Place, City Planner and the City Administrator. The city attorney asked if the City wanted to do anything about the condition of the alley since the dirt was placed there following Mr. Place's blacktopping of his parking lot. The city administrator had previously directed staff to place class 5 in the right-of-way, but the crew would first have to dig out the muck. Additionally, there is a concern that placement of the class 5 would increase an already serious drainage problem and with the swale between the carpet store and adjacent home. M/S/P Dunn/DeLapp — to direct the City Engineer to work with Xcel Energy and come back with a plan to have the poles moved closer to the blacktopped area, and create a more gradual entrance to the alley, and receive plan approval from Council.
