MINUTES, Lake Elmo City Council; June 26, 1979 page two LAWCON APPLICATIONS Mr. Whittaker explained that LAWCON funds were not available for planning a park unless the grant covered development of the park also. The Park Commission had considered planning in Reid Park. The Council discussed application for funds to build the Park Shelter. Pott moved, seconded by Armstrong, that the City apply for LAWCON/LCMR funds to construct the shelter in Lions Park. Motion carried 3-0. CIVIL DEFENSE LICENSES The Mayor read a letter from a Cimarron resident complaining about the lack of shelters in that area; and requesting the Oak —Land School be opened for shelter. Mottaz said the City should, perhaps, require shelters in future mobile home parks. Pott suggested Don Mehsikomer might consider serving the City as Civil Defense Director. The Council instructed Whittaker to contact Mehsikomer; and, if he agrees to take the position, ask him to work with the residents of Cimarron and Oak —Land School. Armstrong moved, seconded by Mottaz, that the City grant the following licenses: general Contracting License GC-79-.1 for Vanman Construction Co. 258 Humboldt Ave., So., Mpls., Minn. and Heating Installer License H79-8 for Cool Air Mechanical, Inc. of 1441 Rice St., St. Paul, Minn. 55117 Motion carried 3-0. PEBBLE PARK, TENNIS COURT LIGHTS Pott moved, seconded by Armstrong, that the City pay Lightning Electric for installation of lights in Pebble Park, withholding 10%until the :Engineer and the Park Commission have approved the installation. Motion carried 3-0- PARKING ON 50TH STREET The Council agreed that the original resolution on parking indicated the City would post a "No Parking" zone on the south side of 50th street near Lake Olsen. However, the pavement is so narrow.,and the right —or — way is almost all under water; the Council agreed it should look into .restricting parking on both sides of the street. Mottaz pointed out, however, that the street right—of—way became too narrow going east to permit parking there; and that only a few cars would be able to park west of the lake. He also said he feels the public ought to have a right to fish off the street, even though there is no public access at this point. After much discussion, the Council decided to discuss the matter at a later meeting. MAINTENANCE BUILDING Mr. Pott said he was concerned about the architects fee. Mr. Mottaz said he would prefer a totally earth—she14ered building. Previous Council action was not changed.
