LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MEETING, JANUARY 6, 1981 -9- 3. Swimming Beach - Administrator Whittaker advised the Council that the County was reconsidering the plan for the swimming beach and would report on that later. 4. South Access -Only, as stated earlier - The County has agreed that a single access for the park is desirable. This means that there would be only an emergency access from the nort4 if any access from the north. 5. Klondike Avenue - The County indicated it will dedicate the remaining portions of Klondike Avenue to the City once the boat launch is resolved. In discussion Novak said that the County should not permit any use of the park until there are adequate parking facilities, adequate public facilities, and there are adequate provisions for emergency services. Councillor Mottaz reminded the Council that the City was working on a formula to charge the County for emergency services; and encouraged the Administrator to develop those rates as soon as possible. Novak indicated that the fencing of the park was not complete; and she felt this should be done as early as possible this spring. Whittaker explained that the City Council had formally approved a plan that included the acquisition of the parcels discussed at the December City Council meeting. He said that it may not be consistent to oppose this acquisition now, considering the fact that it was part of a plan we once discussed in 1979. The Council agreed that Novak and Eder should talk to the affected property owners and find out if they object to the acquisition and report back to the Council on the 20th. Whittaker explained that the County was willing to permit us to store water on Eagle Point Lake as planned for the next two years. In the meantime, the County hopes that the City will develop an overall Surface Water Management Plan so that planning for surface water retention in -the park can be consistent with that plan. There was no additional Council discussion on it at this meeting. ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: A.
